MOVIE OF THE WEEK

Expend4bles (2023, dir. Scott Waugh)

CAST: Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Megan Fox, Dolph Lundgren, Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Randy Couture, Jacob Scipio, Levy Tran, Andy García, Sheila Shah

CREW: Scott Waugh (director), Max Adams, Tad Daggerhart and Kurt Wimmer (writers), Jeffrey Greenstein, Eda Kowan, Jonah Leach, Avi Lerner, Yariv Lerner, Gisella Marengo, Jason Statham, Kevin King Templeton, Les Weldon and Jonathan Yunger (producers), Guillaume Roussel (composer), Tim Maurice-Jones (cinematographer), TBA (editor)

PLOT: Under the guidance of former leader Barney Ross (Stallone), mercenary Lee Christmas (Statham) leads a team of old and new militants on a dangerous new mission…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

1. After nearly ten years of lying dormant, the Expendables franchise is given a whole new kick of life with this fourth outing
2. This time, it’s Statham leading the group of mercenaries, with former star Sylvester Stallone taking on a much smaller role in his final turn as Barney Ross
3. The team is made up of old favourites like Dolph Lundgren and Randy Couture, and new faces like Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Megan Fox
4. Anyone displeased with the lighter rating for the last Expendables movie will be relieved to know that this one is back to full-on adult carnage
5. Hopefully, it will prove that there’s still fuel left in the tank to keep this franchise going for plenty more movies

Expend4bles is showing in cinemas from Friday 22^nd September 2023

WHAT’S SHOWING IN

CINEMAS THIS WEEK?

Dumb Money (2023, dir. Craig Gillespie)

CAST: Paul Dano, Pete Davidson, Vincent D’Onofrio, America Ferrera, Nick Offerman, Anthony Ramos, Sebastian Stan, Shailene Woodley, Seth Rogen, Dane DeHaan, Myha’la Herrold, Rushi Kota, Talia Ryder

CREW: Craig Gillespie (director, producer), Rebecca Angelo and Lauren Schuker Blum (writers), Aaron Ryder and Teddy Schwarzman (producers), Will Bates (composer), Nicolas Karakatsanis (cinematographer), TBA (editor)

PLOT: In 2021, a group of ragtag amateur investors, including online personality Keith Gill (Dano), band together to defy the wealthy hedge funds that have bet big money on the shares of video game store GameStop plummeting, and in the process, they change the financial market as the world knows it…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

1. The insane but true story of the GameStop short squeeze is dramatized in this funny but also quite infuriating condemnation of Wall Street greed
2. Paul Dano, as online personality Keith Gill, leads an ensemble cast that also includes Shailene Woodley, Nick Offerman, America Ferrera, Sebastian Stan and Seth Rogen
3. It is based on the book The Antisocial Network by Ben Mezrich, whose other book The Accidental Billionaires formed the basis for David Fincher’s The Social Network
4. Craig Gillespie, the director of I, Tonya and the recent Disney+ miniseries Pam and Tommy (which also featured Sebastian Stan and Seth Rogen), brings his playful style to this incredible David vs. Goliath story
5. You don’t necessarily need to know anything about the stock market to enjoy the cathartic successes of its on-screen underdogs

Dumb Money is showing in cinemas from Friday 22^nd September 2023

The Lesson (2023, dir. Alice Troughton)

CAST: Richard E. Grant, Julie Delpy, Daryl McCormack, Stephen McMillan, Crispin Letts

CREW: Alice Troughton (director), Alex MacKeith (writer), Camille Gatin, Cassandra Sigsgaard, Judy Tossell and Fabien Westerhoff (producers), Isobel Waller-Bridge (composer), Anna Patarakina (cinematographer), Paulo Pandolpho (editor)

PLOT: Liam (McCormack), an ambitious young writer, is thrilled to accept a tutoring position at the estate of renowned author J.M. Sinclair (Grant), only to find that his idol, his wife Hélène (Delpy), and their son Bertie (McMillan) are all hiding a dark secret that threatens Liam’s future…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

1. This twisty psychological thriller explores the dark lengths that writers go to in order to achieve greatness
2. Richard E. Grant and Julie Delpy give chilling performances as a couple with a devastating secret
3. They are combatted by Daryl McCormack, previously seen as the title character in last year’s sex-positive comedy Good Luck to You, Leo Grande
4. You will be astounded by the twists and turns that could only come from a sharp piece of writing
5. It’s entirely possible that you may never look at successful writers in the same way again

The Lesson is showing in cinemas from Friday 22^nd September 2023

The Canterville Ghost (2023, dirs. Kim Burdon and Robert Chandler)

CAST: Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Freddie Highmore, Emily Carey, Miranda Hart, Meera Syal, David Harewood, Toby Jones, Imelda Staunton, Jules de Jongh, Keiron Self, Georgia Small, Elizabeth Sankey

CREW: Robert Chandler (director, producer), Kim Burdon (director), Giles New and Keiron Self (writers), Gina Carter, Martin Metz and Adrian Politowski (producers), Craig Stuart Garfinkle and Eimear Noone (composers), Ronnie Quinlan (editor)

PLOT: For centuries, the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville (Fry) has been haunting his castle, in search of someone who can release him from his curse. When a new family moves into the castle, Sir Simon finds it hard to scare them, until he partners with teenage daughter Virginia (Carey) to bring balance and finally pass on…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

1. Oscar Wilde’s hilarious short story is adapted into a lively new animated adventure for the whole family
2. A strong list of British actors forms the voice ensemble, including Stephen Fry as the titular ghost, and character actors like Imelda Staunton, Toby Jones, and Miranda Hart
3. The film was first announced back in 2014 and set for release two years later, only for it to be endlessly delayed until now
4. The bouncy animation breathes new life into the classic story
5. Children will be tickled senseless by the silly supernatural occurrences that happen throughout

The Canterville Ghost is showing in cinemas from Friday 22^nd September 2023

Ballywalter (2023, dir. Prasanna Puwanarajah)

CAST: Seána Kerslake, Patrick Kielty, Conor MacNeill, Joanne Crawford, Chris Corrigan, Julian Moore-Cook, Ryan McParland, Paul Mallon, Lloyd Hutchinson, Stacey Gregg

CREW: Prasanna Puwanarajah (director), Stacey Gregg (writer), James Bierman and Nik Bower (producers), Niall Lawlor (composer), Federico Cesca (cinematographer), Sarah Brewerton and Mark Towns (editors)

PLOT: In the Northern Irish village of Ballywalter, university graduate Eileen (Kerslake) makes a living by driving her ex-boyfriend’s minicab as an unlicensed driver. One evening, she picks up Shane (Kielty), a recent divorcee who’s getting his life back on track through a local stand-up comedy course, and the two of them end up developing a close bond that leads to moments of realisation for both…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

1. This tender comedic drama from Northern Ireland explores a friendship that’s as sweet as it is unexpected
2. Seána Kerslake delivers an outstanding turn in a role that’s already nabbed her a nomination at this year’s Irish Film & Television Awards
3. Comedian Patrick Kielty also shines in his first dramatic role, wherein he plays – funnily enough – an aspiring stand-up comic
4. For many young people with university degrees but few (if any) job prospects, this is an all-too real reflection of what life post-uni is actually like
5. Sweet in nature and emotional in its execution, you’ll find it hard not to be moved in some way by the end

Ballywalter is showing in cinemas from Friday 22^nd September 2023

R.M.N. (2022, dir. Cristian Mungiu)

CAST: Marin Grigore, Judith State, Macrina Bârlădeanu, Orsolya Moldován, Andrei Finți, Mark Blenyesi, Ovidiu Crișan

CREW: Cristian Mungiu (director, writer, producer), Tudor Vladimir Panduru (cinematographer), Mircea Olteanu (editor)

PLOT: In a remote Transylvanian town that is steeped in traditional customs, the arrival of new migrant workers at the local factory causes suspicions and tensions to rise, leaving only a handful of residents left to stop the community from succumbing to fear and hate…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

1. Cristian Mungui, the Romanian auteur behind the 2007 Palme D’Or winner 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, is back with a compelling new drama about European xenophobia
2. If you’re wondering what R.M.N. actually stands for, it’s the Romanian acronym for nuclear magnetic resonance, which allows for the analysis of nuclei (as in, this film is a study of the human condition)
3. Mungui bases his film on a real-life incident in Romania where locals protested the hiring of three Sri Lankan workers at a bakery
4. Like the filmmaker’s 2007 film, this one also competed at last year’s Cannes Film Festival for the coveted top prize, though this one wasn’t as successful
5. With prejudice and right-wing hatred slowly on the rise across Europe and other parts of the world, this is a vital reminder of the damage that xenophobia can inflict onto others, as well as ourselves

R.M.N. is showing in cinemas from Friday 22^nd September 2023

Angelheaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan & T. Rex (2023, dir. Ethan Silverman)

CAST: Marc Bolan, Rolan Bolan, Richard Barone, David Bowie, Nick Cave, Macy Gray, Joan Jett, Elton John, Gloria Jones, Kesha, Maria McKee, Father John Misty, John Cameron Mitchell, Ringo Starr, U2, Hal Willner

CREW: Ethan Silverman (director, writer, producer), Bill Curbishley (producer), Alexander Frasse and Michael Taylor (editors)

PLOT: A celebration of the life and career of Marc Bolan, an early glam rock star who became famous for his tracks with his band T. Rex, which several bands in the present work to recreate as part of a tribute album…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

1. Marc Bolan, the glam rock icon, is feted by just about everyone in the music industry throughout this special commemorative documentary
2. Through archive footage, we see the enormous impact that Bolan and his band T. Rex had on the world of music from the late 1960s up until the musician’s untimely death in 1977
3. Numerous music stars, from Elton John to U2, are interviewed on-camera about how much Bolan’s music influenced their own style and sounds
4. You can also watch them hard at work in the recording studio as they put their unique style into classic Bolan songs for a new tribute album
5. Anyone who’s ever boogied along to Bolan’s work might just find this to be a whole new reason to boogie once more!

Angelheaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan & T. Rex is showing in cinemas from Friday 22^nd September 2023

A Cat Called Dom (2023, dirs. Will Anderson and Ainslie Henderson)

CAST: Will Anderson, Ainslie Henderson, Tobias Feltus

CREW: Will Anderson (director, producer), Ainslie Henderson (director), Finlay Pretsell (producer), Richard Luke (composer), Kieran Gosney (editor)

PLOT: After animator Will Anderson’s mother is diagnosed with cancer, he and fellow animator Ainslie Henderson reach out to her during the making of an animated documentary, only for the project to stall. However, Will remains eager to provide some closure for him and his mother, and begins recrafting the film from a much more personal angle…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

1. This moving and complex documentary explores a deeply personal connection to both family and filmmaking
2. It charts the multi-year journey of filmmakers Will Anderson and Ainslie Henderson to make an animated documentary, only for it to fall apart and then be put back together by love
3. Anyone who’s ever set out to make a film, but then not have it work out for whatever reason, will identify with the frustrations that are put on display here
4. The resulting film, which was originally edited together just for Anderson’s dying mother, became an audience hit at last year’s Edinburgh Film Festival, where it won the Powell & Pressburger Award for Best Feature Film
5. You’ll cry at its pure emotional core, sigh with frustration as the filmmakers face multiple challenges, and be impressed by some of its unique animation styles

A Cat Called Dom is showing in cinemas from Friday 22^nd September 2023

WHAT’S SHOWING AT

HOME THIS WEEK?

Spy Kids: Armageddon (2023, dir. Robert Rodriguez)

CAST: Connor Esterson, Everly Carganilla, Zachary Levi, Gina Rodriguez, Billy Magnussen, D. J. Cotrona, Fabiola Andujar

CREW: Robert Rodriguez (director, writer, producer, cinematographer, editor), Racer Max (writer, producer), Elizabeth Avellan, David Ellison, Dan Goldberg and Don Granger (producers), Rebel Rodriguez (composer)

PLOT: Tony (Esterson) and Patty (Carganilla) are the children of Terrence (Levi) and Nora (Rodriguez), the world’s greatest secret agents. However, when Tony and Patty unwittingly help diabolical game developer Rey “The King” Kingston (Magnussen) unleash a computer virus that gives him control over all technology, the siblings must become spies themselves to save their parents and save the world…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

1. Robert Rodriguez’s hit family franchise hits the reset button with a brand-new take on young spies
2. Newcomers Connor Esterson and Everly Carganilla play the heroic little agents, with Zachary Levi and Gina Rodriguez as their beloved parents
3. Behind the scenes, it’s also a family affair with Rodriguez enlisting the help of sons Racer and Rebel for the script and musical score respectively
4. While original Spy Kids Carmen and Juni Cortez aren’t in this film, be on the lookout for hidden references to the other films in this otherwise standalone adventure
5. Nostalgic fans of the original films will enjoy the return to this heightened world of espionage, while newcomers will enjoy all the gadgets and gizmos that have helped make this series stand out

Spy Kids: Armageddon is streaming exclusively on Netflix from Friday 22^nd September 2023

Accused (2023, dir. Philip Barantini)

CAST: Chaneil Kular, Lauryn Ajufo, Nitin Ganatra, Nila Aalia, Frances Tomelty, Jay Johnson, Robbie O’Neill, Ollie Teague

CREW: Philip Barantini (director), Barnaby Boulton and James Cummings (writers), Samantha Beddoe, Edward Caffrey, Rupert Preston and Sara Sehdev (producers), Aaron May and David Ridley (composers), Matthew Lewis (cinematographer), Alex Fountain (editor)

PLOT: Harri (Kular), a young man travelling from London to his parents’ house in the countryside, is mistaken for the main suspect of a terrorist incident in the city. As misinformation about Harri’s involvement continues to spread online, a gang of vigilantes track down his house and arrive to exact justice, forcing Harri to defend himself both in person and on social media…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

1. Your anxiety is about to go through the roof after watching this stressful and taut new thriller
2. Director Philip Barantini, previously of the one-shot kitchen drama Boiling Point (and its upcoming sequel TV series), brings that same level of intensity to a much more terrifying situation
3. It is a timely mistaken-identity movie that takes aim at the dangers of online misinformation, and its spread among particular hate groups
4. There’s also some sharp commentary on the one-sided nature of cancel culture, and how it can arise from the most baseless of accusations
5. The idea of being targeted for something you didn’t do is already terrifying enough, but its relevancy here makes it even more scary when you know it could actually happen

Accused is streaming exclusively on Netflix from Friday 22^nd September 2023

Cassandro (2023, dir. Roger Ross Williams)

CAST: Gael García Bernal, Roberta Colindrez, Perla De La Rosa, Joaquín Cosío, Raúl Castillo, El Hijo del Santo, Bad Bunny

CREW: Roger Ross Williams (director, writer), David Teague (writer), Todd Black, David Bloomfield, Julie Goldman, Gerardo Gatica and Ted Hope (producers), Marcelo Zarvos (composer), Matias Penachino (cinematographer), Yibran Asuad, Affonso Gonçalves and Sabine Hoffman (editors)

PLOT: In the 1980s, gay wrestler Saúl Armendáriz (Bernal) regularly travels across the border from El Paso, Texas to Ciudad Juárez, Mexico to fight in lucha libre wrestling matches. After his new trainer Sabrina (Colindrez) suggests that he begins competing as an exótico (a male luchador in drag), he develops and embraces his new identity as the fighter Cassandro…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

1. The inspiring story of exótico lucha libre wrestler Saúl Armendáriz, better known as Cassandro, becomes a hugely pleasing sports drama
2. Gael García Bernal delivers a rousing lead turn as Cassandro, with many early critics already calling it one of the actor’s greatest performances
3. It is the narrative debut of Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Roger Ross Williams, who previously explored the wrestler’s career in his short film The Man Without a Mask
4. Williams and regular editor David Teague developed the script together over several years, with the film finally making a splash at this year’s Sundance Film Festival
5. The filmmakers accurately capture Cassandro’s irresistible queer spirit in ways that really make you fall in love with him as well as his moves in the wrestling ring

Cassandro is streaming exclusively on Prime Video from Friday 22^nd September 2023

No One Will Save You (2023, dir. Brian Duffield)

CAST: Kaitlyn Dever, Geraldine Singer, Elizabeth Kaluev, Lauren L. Murray, Dari Lynn Griffin

CREW: Brian Duffield (director, writer, producer), Allan Mandelbaum, Tim White and Trevor White (producers), Joseph Trapanese (composer), Aaron Morton (cinematographer), Gabriel Fleming (editor)

PLOT: Brynn Adams (Dever), a creative and talented young woman, lives alone in her old childhood home. One night, she is awakened by strange noises coming from a host of extraterrestrial beings, and she must now face off against the alien intruders that threaten her future while also coming to terms with her past…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

1. An alien abduction does not go according to plan in this action-packed sci-fi home invasion thriller
2. Brian Duffield, the screenwriter behind The Babysitter, Underwater and Love and Monsters, writes and directs his sophomore feature, after the underrated 2020 teen comedy Spontaneous
3. Kaitlyn Dever shines (though when does she never?) as the sole human contending against a group of sinister aliens that want her for mysterious reasons
4. There are surprises involving Dever’s character, including why she seems to have been alienated from the rest of her community, that flip the entire premise on its head
5. You’ll find yourself endlessly gripped by the tense, even creepy atmosphere that dominates much of the runtime

No One Will Save You is streaming exclusively on Disney+ from Friday 22^nd September 2023

God Is a Bullet (2023, dir. Nick Cassavetes)

CAST: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Maika Monroe, Jamie Foxx, January Jones, Karl Glusman, David Thornton, Paul Johansson, Jonathan Tucker, Ethan Suplee, Garret Wareing, Brendan Sexton III, Virginia Cassavetes, Chloe Guy

CREW: Nick Cassavetes (director, writer), Donald V. Allen and Michael Mendelsohn (producers), Aaron Zigman (composer), Kenji Katori (cinematographer), Bella Erikson (editor)

PLOT: After a satanic cult murders his ex-wife and kidnaps his teenage daughter Gabi (Guy), detective Bob Hightower (Coster-Waldau) grows frustrated with the botched investigation and quits the force to pursue the kidnappers. Teaming up with Case (Monroe), the cult’s only escapee, he infiltrates the secretive group, whose leader Cyrus (Glusman) is as maniacal as he is charismatic, and attempts to save Gabi from a terrible fate…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

1. This dark and gritty crime thriller ensures that its level of tensions is always set enormously high
2. Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau leads a stacked cast that also includes Maika Monroe, Karl Glusman, Mad Men’s January Jones, and Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx
3. It is the first film in almost ten years from filmmaker Nick Cassavettes, best known for much lighter fare like The Notebook and My Sister’s Keeper
4. The terrifying world of satanic worship and human sacrifices is explored in excruciatingly gritty detail
5. It will constantly leave you on edge as things become much more dangerous for our heroic leads

God Is a Bullet is streaming exclusively on Sky Cinema from Friday 22^nd September 2023

WHAT’S RETURNING TO

CINEMAS THIS WEEK?

Hellraiser (1987, dir. Clive Barker)

CAST: Clare Higgins, Ashley Laurence, Andrew Robinson, Sean Chapman, Robert Hines, Doug Bradley, Nicholas Vince, Simon Bamford, Grace Kirby, Oliver Smith

CREW: Clive Barker (director, writer), Christopher Figg (producer), Christopher Young (composer), Robin Vidgeon (cinematographer), Richard Marden (editor)

PLOT: Whilst in Morocco, hedonist Frank (Chapman) purchases a puzzle box said to bring intense pleasure to anyone who solves it. However, he soon becomes engulfed by otherworldly beings known as Cenobites, and later relies on his former lover Julia (Higgins), who’s now married to Frank’s brother Larry (Robinson), to provide him with sustenance that will bring him back to full health…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

1. The cult classic horror returns to cinemas to creep out a whole new generation of movie-goers
2. Writer-director Clive Barker adapted his own novel The Hellbound Heart after being dissatisfied with other filmmakers’ takes on his work
3. It introduced the world to the sadomasochist interdimensional beings known as the Cenobites, along with their iconic leader Pinhead (as he’s known by fans; officially, he’s credited as “Cenobite Leader” here)
4. Despite the mixed reception at the time, it has become a major milestone of British horror, and even launched a franchise of spin-offs involving Pinhead in some way
5. The make-up and practical effects rank among some of the most chilling in the horror genre, and the best way to experience them is on the big screen!

Hellraiser is showing in cinemas from Friday 22^nd September 2023

Beauty and the Beast (1991, dirs. Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise)

CAST: Paige O’Hara, Robby Benson, Richard White, Jerry Orbach, David Ogden Stiers, Angela Lansbury, Bradley Pierce, Rex Everhart, Jesse Corti, JoAnne Worley, Hal Smith, Mary Kay Bergman, Kath Soucie, Jack Angel, Phil Proctor, Bill Farmer, Patrick Pinney, Brian Cummings, Alvin Epstein, Tony Jay, Alec Murphy, Kimmy Robertson, Frank Welker

CREW: Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise (directors), Linda Woolverton (writer), Don Hahn (producer), Alan Menken (composer), John Carnochan (editor)

PLOT: Belle (O’Hara), a kind and smart young woman, is forced to reside at the enchanted castle of a fearsome Beast (Benson) in exchange for her father’s (Everhart) freedom. She soon learns that the Beast is actually a prince, who was cursed along with his servants after he acted cruelly toward an enchantress, and that he must find true love and be loved in return in order to break the spell. As Belle begins to see the Beast for who he truly is, they must also face the wrath of her narcissistic suitor Gaston (White)…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The classic fairy tale, arguably one of Disney’s greatest ever features, is back in cinemas as part of the studio’s 100^th anniversary celebrations
• Released during the company’s Renaissance period, it brought Disney back to the forefront of animation, with several dazzling sequences, memorable characters, and timeless songs by Alan Menken
• Most famously, it became the very first animated feature to be nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, a feat that has only been replicated two times since (by other Disney-backed movies Up and Toy Story 3, both by Pixar)
• It spawned a long-running Broadway musical, a couple of direct-to-video sequels, and a live-action remake starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens in the title roles
• The film’s legacy is timeless, with audiences both old and new always finding something delightful and meaningful to enjoy every single time it plays

Beauty and the Beast is showing in cinemas from Friday 22^nd September 2023

Stop Making Sense (1984, dir. Jonathan Demme)

CAST: David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth, Lynn Mabry, Ednah Holt, Alex Weir, Bernie Worrell, Steve Scales

CREW: Jonathan Demme (director, writer), David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison and Tina Weymouth (writers, composers), Gary Goetzman (producer), Jordan Cronenworth (cinematographer), Lisa Day (editor)

PLOT: A live performance of rock band Talking Heads’ most memorable songs, filmed over three consecutive nights at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater in December 1983…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The film that is often considered the greatest concert movie of all time returns in time for its 40^th anniversary with a brand-new 4K restoration
• Oscar-winning director Jonathan Demme partnered with the band Talking Heads for a visually ambitious retrospective of the band’s history and their greatest hits
• It is thought to be an early pioneer of digital audio techniques, many of which are commonplace in today’s film industry
• Since its release, the film has become a cult classic, and was even selected for preservation in the US National Film Registry, ensuring its survival for the rest of time
• Anyone who loves the music of Talking Heads will not want to miss this opportunity to see the film on the biggest screen possible!

Stop Making Sense is showing in cinemas from Friday 22^nd September 2023
