I have not been to the movie theater much over the past few months. There have not really been any new releases that I wanted to see. And this is coming from someone who loves going to the movies and has an AMC membership, so going to the movies is kinda, sorta, not really “for free.” I finally went to the movies recently and I saw Black Adam. I will just say it was not not awful.
Even though the past few months for theatrical releases were a dud for me I am looking forward to quite a few movies before the end of 2022.
The list below includes movies coming out in November and December. Some of these releases are coming to theaters, some to streaming services some to both.
