We’re only a week away from the Oscars, but it doesn’t feel like award season on the big screen. This week, three movies open, none of which are likely to win any awards: “Beautiful Creatures,” “Safe Haven,” and “A Good Day to Die Hard.”
The Takeaway’s Movie Date team, Rafer Guzman and Kristen Meinzer, weigh in with their thoughts.
In addition to hosting the Movie Date podcast, Rafer is film critic for Newsday and Kristen is culture producer for the Takeaway.
