There’s an amazing cast for the modern day whodunnit KNIVES OUT, a film that’ll keep you guessing til the end. For families there’s plenty to watch including FROZEN 2 and our season of festive Saturday Morning Pictures - THE POLAR EXPRESS, HOME ALONE and of course the annual favourite THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Redmayne, Himesh Patel | SPECIFICATION (PG) UK 2019. 101 Mins SYNOPSIS In 1862, daredevil balloon pilot Amelia Wren teams up with pioneering meteorologist James Glaisher to advance human knowledge of the weather and fly higher than anyone in history. While breaking records and advancing WILD ROSE scientific discovery, their voyage to the very edge of existence helps the unlikely pair find their place in the world they have left far below them. But they face physical and emotional challenges in the thin air, as the ascent becomes a fight for survival. A BEAUTIFUL MIND BUZZ The reteaming of Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones from the Oscar-winning THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING has been much hyped and doesn’t disappoint - they are both fantastic here. There’s a real sense of wonder and danger to the balloon sequences as they take to the skies in an untested craft going higher than anyone before them. British director Tom Harper follows up WILD ROSE with another great film. THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING
FROM 15 NOVEMBER DIRECTOR Ken Loach | STARRING Kris Hitchen, Debbie IF YOU LIKED...

It’s hard work, and his wife’s job as I, DANIEL BLAKE a carer is no easier. The family unit is strong but when both are pulled in different directions everything comes to breaking point. BUZZ A spiritual sequel of sorts to Ken Loach’s I, DANIEL BLAKE. This is a hardline indictment of the gig economy and KES zero hour contracts. Exploring the damage they can have on the stable lives of families in the UK. The performances, largely by non-actors, are heartbreakingly beautiful. The film will send you reeling into the streets needing to discuss it with people. One of the most incendiary films of the year directed by 83 year old Ken Loach. THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY

They set out to find the origin of Elsa’s powers in order to save their kingdom. KRISTEN BELL BUZZ It’s been 6 years since FROZEN burst onto our screens and became a global phenomenon. The Disney animation has had spin-off films, a Broadway musical, theme-park attractions, hit songs and more merchandise than you could possibly imagine.

From Harlan’s dysfunctional family to BRICK his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Harlan’s untimely death. BUZZ Garnering great reviews from audiences around the world at festivals, Rian Johnson’s whodunnit is a perfect CLUE update on Agatha Christie for modern times whilst not losing the classic structure that makes the genre so popular. Johnson has gathered a fantastic A-List cast around him, all having a delightful time chewing the scenery and dropping red herrings. We really hope to see Daniel Craig’s Detective Blanc back for more adventures. MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS
FROM 6 DECEMBER DIRECTOR Fernando Meirelles | STARRING Jonathan IF YOU LIKED... Pryce, Anthony Hopkins | SPECIFICATION (12A TBC) Italy/ UK 2019. 126 Mins SYNOPSIS An intimate story of one of the most dramatic transitions of power in the last 2,000 years. Frustrated with the direction of the church, Cardinal Bergoglio requests permission to retire in 2012 from Pope Benedict. Instead, facing scandal MRS LOWRY & SON and self-doubt, the introspective Pope Benedict summons his harshest critic and future successor to Rome to reveal a secret that would shake the foundations of the Catholic Church. BUZZ An absolutely wonderful drama from CITY OF GOD director Fernando Meirelles. Essentially a two hander but FROST/NIXON made beautifully cinematic, the performances are a real treat and watching Pryce and Hopkins bounce off of each other is electric. More than just two men talking to each other, the film covers the back-story of the two men and how they became the Popes they are. Accessible, enjoyable, very moving and a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes at the Vatican. THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING
FROM 6 DECEMBER DIRECTOR James Mangold | STARRING Matt Damon, IF YOU LIKED... Christian Bale, Jon Bernthal | SPECIFICATION (12A TBC) USA 2019. 152 Mins SYNOPSIS American car designer Carroll Shelby and driver Ken Miles battle corporate interference, the laws of physics and their own personal demons to build a revolutionary race car for Ford and challenge Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans JUDY in 1966. BUZZ Renamed LE MANS ’66 for the UK, the international title is FORD VS FERARRI. This features excellent performances by both Damon and Bale bouncing off each other brilliantly. The racing sequences are thrilling as they plunge you into the SENNA cars of the 60s at 200mph round the tight bends. Showing the human cost of the drive for perfection, with as much drama off the track as on it. It’s a great slice of history with actors at the top of their game and makes the motor-racing accessible for non-fans. RUSH

Jones’ relentless OFFICIAL SECRETS pursuit of the truth leads to findings that uncover the lengths to which the nation’s top intelligence agency went to destroy evidence, subvert the law, and hide a shocking secret from the American public. BUZZ You can tell that this film struck a chord with the cast THE INSIDER as there a lot of high profile actors here filling out smaller roles. The peek behind the curtain of the CIA intelligence gathering and the political machinations that leads to their announcement is fascinating and terrifying. Adam Driver gives yet another fantastic performance and is becoming one of this generations finest actors. Look out for him in MARRIAGE STORY THE PARALLAX coming soon as well. VIEW

It’s a wild ride that forces you to ask questions of yourself and takes a serious look at the incitement of hate. But also has a good laugh along the way. Director Taika Waititi is a highlight as Adolf Hitler and the young actors are sublime as they take the dramatic weight of the film, leaving established actors to handle the comedy.
