Horse Soldiers Triumph
The action driven movie about the heroic horse soldiers who managed to conquer the Taliban in around 20 days is triumphing its opening weekend at the box office with 16.5 million finishing in number 2 behind the Jumanji sequel which has stayed at number 1 three weeks in a row.
Warner Brothers 12 Strong follows the brave soldiers who volunteered to go on a top secret mission in the mist of the devastation of 9-11. The film stars Chris Hemsworth as the captain who leads the 12 men through the regions of Afghanistan and home again and despite the United States lack of faith, all 12 returned home.
Ultimately,Chris Hemsworth‘s performance is by far the best yet as it shows that there is a serious side to him when things need to be serious and it also shows him as a leader that the men could follow.

The Post- Review
Fox’s The Post fared well this weekend at the box office as it widened its audiences over Martin Luther King Jr weekend and came in at number 2 with 18.6 million domestically.
The historic drama stars Meryl Streep as Kay Graham, one of the only women of her time to own The Washington Post at a time when it was an all men newsroom. After the death of her late husband, she is left as publisher despite the fact that all the men don’t think she should be there, if not for the Editor In Chief, Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks) who works with her as her right hand man and makes sure that she has the final decision.
Now in the mist of the Vietnam War and as their rival from the north, The New York Times are facing public backlash after uncovering top secret documents to the true happening across the sea, now the future of the free press is in jeopardy as Kay struggles to keep her family paper from going into foreclosure while making sure that all the news is printed for the good of the readers.
At 1 hour and 56 minutes, The Post is sure to stand out as one of those journalism movies that will have any news hound or reporter questioning the right to publish over national security in a way that could get quite dangerous for all who are effected. It will ultimately go down as another movie comparable to All The President’s Men and is a must see for any one who wants to know the true meaning behind freedom of the press.
The Post came out in theaters everywhere January 12 and is currently playing in one near you.
