What movies to watch this weekend?

In the Cinema:



Patriots Day
An account of the Boston Marathon bombing told through the stories of four individuals on that terrible day. Director Peter Berg captures the resulting manhunt and the strength of spirit of the people of Boston in a movie that has been critically well acclaimed and starring the ever reliable Mark Wahlberg with a strong supporting cast including John Goodman and J.K. Simmons, this moving film is well worth a look.





At Home: 



Doctor Strange
Starring Benedict Cumberbatch in the title role and containing some of the most amazing effects seen on the big screen in recent years this tale of the transformation of a disgraced surgeon to a powerful sorcerer is a highly entertaining origins story and welcome original addition to the superhero genre. Enjoyable.




On Telly



Shawshank Redemption (3e Saturday 25th Feb 21:00 pm)
Another chance to see everyone's favourite movie. The dulcet tones of Morgan Freeman tell the tale of wrongly convicted Andy Dufresne and his attempt to escape Shawshank prison. A movie that has aged well and well worth another look if it's been a while since last viewing.
