T2 Trainspotting:
Not sure how much more I can endorse this sequel to the era-defining Trainspotting. One of the most eagerly awaited movies of the year, it takes off twenty years after the original as we catch up with Renton, Sick Boy, Spud and Begbie and life in cocaine fuelled Edinburgh.
How many better ways is there to spend a fiver than two hours in the company of those guys?
Jackie:
With Natalie Portman, hotly tipped for an Oscar for her role as the fascinating Jackie Onassis and an unusual yet interesting choice for director Pablo Larraín in his first English speaking movie, this promises to be a fascinating film dealing with the aftermath of the assassination of JFK and how one woman had to hold it all together for the sake of her family, herself and indeed an entire nation.
Hacksaw Ridge:
Andrew Garfield, Vince Vaughan and a stellar supporting cast star in the fascinating true story of pacifist Desmond T. Doss, who saved 75 men in Okinawa, during the World War II, without firing a single shot.
This movie is also well lauded by critics currently and is also nominated for six oscars including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director so is definitely worth catching in the cinema as it has all the ingredients of a modern day classic.
Sing:
A multi-talented cast including Matthew McConaghey, Resse Witherspoon and Scarlett Johanson star in this animated tale, written and directed by Gareth Jennings,of Koala Buster Moon and his attempts to resurrect his flagging theater by producing an "X-factor" style singing competition.
Modern pop songs as sung by farmyard animals, voiced by movie stars and surrounded by screaming infants! What's not to love about that?
