What movies to watch this weekend?

In the Cinema:

Detroit:
A heart breaking yet essential retelling of a dark period in American history, which is all too familiar to present events, this latest offering from Oscar winning director Kathryn Bigelow has been getting rave reviews from the critics even though it may be at times a difficult watch it is undoubtedly a  powerful one!



At Home: 

Free Fire:
Action packed Tarantinoesque thriller from director Ben Wheatley, this non stop siege feature contains a stellar cast including Cillian Murphy, Brie Larson and Arnie Hammer. An explosive eighty five minutes that is just unadulterated fun. Read my full review here.



On Telly

The Ides of March(BBC2 Sunday 27th August 23:00pm)
Excellent political drama written, directed and starring George Clooney alongside a formidable cast including Ryan Gosling and the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman, this movie is a riveting tale set during the days preceding an Ohio primary that is rooted in political scandal. Excellent evenly paced drama!
