SNOWDEN
Release: 22 September 2016
Starring Scott Eastwood, Shailene Woodley, Zachary Quinto, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Nicholas Cage. Directed by Oliver Stone. Classification: M, 139 mins. Official Site: https://snowdenfilm.com/
Snowden, the politically-charged, pulse-pounding thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley, reveals the incredible untold personal story of Edward Snowden, the polarizing figure who exposed shocking illegal surveillance activities by the NSA and became one of the most wanted men in the world. He is considered a hero by some, and a traitor by others. No matter which you believe, the epic story of why he did it, who he left behind, and how he pulled it off makes for one of the most compelling films of the year.
BRIDGET JONES’S BABY
Starring Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, Patrick Dempsey, Jim Broadbent, Gemma Jones, Emma Thompson. Directed by Sharon Maguire. Classification: M, 122 mins. Official Site: http://www.bridgetjonesbaby.com.au/
Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) and Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) are no longer a couple. They’ve recently broken up and Bridget, now in her forties, decides to focus on her job as a top news producer and spending time having fun with her friends.
Things turn around when Bridget meets a charming American named Jack (Patrick Dempsey), who’s very unlike Mr. Darcy. When she finds out she’s pregnant, she’s not sure which of the men is the father.
THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK – THE TOURING YEARS
Starring Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, George Harrison. Directed by Ron Howard. Classification: M, 138 mins. Official Site: http://thebeatleseightdaysaweek.com/
The Beatles: Eight Days A Week – The Touring Years is based on the first part of The Beatles’ career (1962-1966) – the period in which they toured and captured the world’s acclaim. Ron Howard’s film will explore how John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr came together to become this extraordinary phenomenon, “The Beatles.” It will explore their inner workings – how they made decisions, created their music and built their collective career together – all the while, exploring The Beatles’ extraordinary and unique musical gifts and their remarkable, complementary personalities. The film will focus on the time period from the early Beatles’ journey in the days of The Cavern Club in Liverpool to their last concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco in 1966.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
