Start making plans for a few cosy trips to the cinema this week as it looks like you’ll be spoilt for choice!

From Hollywood’s finest women in The Homesman to sharp humour (and a few hotties) in Kingsman: The Secret Service, there’s a little something for everyone!

Here’s a sneak peek…

The Judge

October 17th

Robert Downey Jr is the lead in this drama, which he also produced. The Iron Man star plays big time Chicago lawyer Hank Palmer who returns to his tiny hometown for his mother’s funeral, only to discover that his estranged father is suspected of murdering another man in a hit-and-run. On his journey to discover the truth and defend his father, Hank reconnects with a place he had left behind long ago. Billy Bob Thornton and Leighton Meester also star.

 

The Homesman

October 17th

Hilary Swank gives her best performance in years in this period film, which got great reviews at Cannes Film Festival earlier in 2014 and is tipped as an Oscars contender. The actress plays a pioneer woman who strikes a deal with a man (Tommy Lee Jones) that she finds hanging from a noose, left for dead. She’ll cut him free if he’ll help her on her six week journey to Iowa, bringing with them three women who have been driven insane by the hardships of life on the Nebraskan plains. 

 

The Best Of Me

October 15th

Based on the novel by best-selling author Nicholas Sparks, The Best of Me tells the story of star-crossed lovers Dawson (James Marsden) and Amanda (Michelle Monaghan) who find themselves together again after 20 years apart. Neither can forget their first true love – but can their relationship overcome the problems that drove them apart all those years ago? Bring the Kleenex!

 

Kingsman: The Secret Service

October 17th

This high-octane action comedy is directed by Matthew Vaughn, the man behind Kick Ass and X-Men: First Class. Colin Firth stars as veteran secret agent Harry Hart, who sees potential in a rough kid from the wrong side of the tracks. His aim is to train him up as part of the agency’s super-competitive spy training programme. Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Caine also star in what will surely be one of the biggest action flicks of the year.

With such horrible weather lately, a trip to the cinema is the perfect way to get cozy while pretending to be social!

If you’re looking for a good film to settle down to this week, you’re in luck as there’s a great range of flicks to choose from.

Horror, comedy and fantasy all get a look in – here are our top picks…

October 10th

The Rewrite

Hugh Grant might be eternally typecast as the floppy-haired cheeky chappy, but he’s always a sure thing for a good rom-com. This film, about an award-winning screenwriter who is forced to take a teaching job in a small town after his 15 minutes of fame runs out, is a light-hearted comedy that won’t ask too much of you on a rainy Tuesday evening! Hugh stars along with Marisa Tomei and Allison Janney.

 

October 10th

Effie Gray

This Victorian-era period drama was written by Emma Thompson and stars Dakota Fanning as Effie, a young girl trying to get out of an unhappy marriage. The story of Effie Gray has been told many times in films, plays and even an opera – this modern reboot looks like a good option for a girly evening!

 

October 10th

The Calling

Susan Sarandon stars as the tough-minded detective Hazel in this mystery drama. Hazel’s one of the best in the business, but her personal life has suffered as a result. Things kick off when a series of gruesome murders happen in her small Canadian town. The complex plot sounds like it’ll make for an exciting couple of hours!

 

October 10th

The Maze Runner

This fantasy thriller is based on the 2009 young adult book of the same name. Think Hunger Games but more terrifying! Thomas, played by Dylan O’Brien, wakes up in a post-apocalyptic world with a gang of other boys – but with no memory of how he ended up there. Expect lots of dark and chilling moments.

 

October 10th

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

This is a kid’s film, no mistake about that, but the fun cast means you might get some enjoyment out of it too – no shame! Steve Carrell and Jannifer Garner star as the parents of Alexander. The little boy’s day starts off awfully, but nobody has much sympathy until their own days start to go wrong too. Don’t expect any Oscar-winning performances but there’s sure to be a few laughs!

You won’t be stuck for choice at the cinema this week! There are some great new flicks to choose from, most notably Gone Girl, the adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s sinister novel. We’ve already booked our tickets!

With everything from horror, to sports to comedy, there’s definitely something for everyone in this week’s line-up.

Here’s a sneak peek…

October 3rd

Gone Girl

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’ll know that the hotly anticipated Gone Girl comes out this week. Rosamund Pike plays small-town girl Amy Dunne, who disappears on the day of her wedding anniversary. The chief suspect? Her stunned husband, Nick (Ben Affleck). The trailers have all looked dark, intense and totally engaging. We can’t wait for this film!

 

October 3rd

Life After Beth

Expect blood, guts and a few laughs in this dark comedy. Dane de Haan plays Zach, who’s devastated by the death of his girlfriend… until he finds out she’s come back to life. There’s a catch of course – she’s now a flesh-eating zombie. Parks and Recreation star Aubrey Plaza stars as Beth, the blood-thirsty sweetheart in question. A good date movie, if you’re not too squeamish!

 

October 3rd

Dracula Untold

Filmed in Northern Ireland, this fantasy horror explains the origins of Count Dracula. Think of it as a (sort of) prequel to the 2000 film Dracula, based on Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel. Luke Evans plays Transylvanian prince Vlad Tepes, who is granted mythical powers in order to save his kingdom. However in order to keep the new powers, he must also accept his fate as a vampire with a thirst for human blood. Dominic Cooper and Sarah Gadon also star in this dramatic retelling of a famous tale.

 

October 3rd

Draft Day

Kevin Costner and Jennifer Garner star in this sports drama about one of the biggest days in the American football year – draft day. Not only has Cleveland team manager Sonny Weaver (Costner) just found out that his secret girlfriend Ali (Garner) is pregnant, but he also has to choose between two big-name players for next season’s team. A fast paced-film with lots of big twists and turns!

There’s a nice mix of drama and comedy in this week’s new releases so whether you’re looking for some light first date entertainment or a hard-hitting political piece, there’s lots to choose from! Here are our top cinema picks for the week ahead…

September 26th 

The Equalizer

This film is a big leap for Chloe Grace Moretz who plays teenage hooker Elina, living in terror of her Russian pimp. Elina is taken under the wing of retired hitman Robert McCall, played by Denzel Washington. Expect lots of shoot-outs and action scenes, but some lighter moments too – Denzel isn’t your typical hero!

September 26th 

This Is Where I Leave You

Comedy bigwigs Tina Fey, Jason Bateman, Rose Byrne, Jane Fonda and Kathryn Hahn all star in this new release so we are more than a little excited. The dysfunctional Altman family meet for their father’s funeral only to discover it was his dying wish that they “sit shiva” for him – a Jewish tradition in which the family spend seven days together in their home to mourn. Expect family drama, slapstick comedy and lots of jokes about Jane Fonda’s fake boobs.

September 26th 

The Good Lie

Reese Witherspoon stars in this hard-hitting drama about six young Sudanese refugees making their way to the USA to begin a new life. The actress plays Carrie Davis, a sharp and sassy resettlement officer who helps the refugees to find work and accommodation in their new home of Kansas City. If you’re hoping for a Hollywood blockbuster though, you won’t find it here – Reese doesn’t appear until around 35 minutes in. The film itself begins in Sudan and Kenya so be prepared for some violent scenes.

September 26th 

What We Did On Our Holiday

Writers Guy Jenkin and Andy Hamilton are best known for creating BBC’s Outnumbered, so expect a similarly hilarious cast of children this time around. Four-year-old Harriet Turnbull is adorably sharp-witted as the youngest family member in this madcap comedy, and she easily outshines parents Rosamund Pike and David Tennant. The plot involves a family road trip to the Scottish Highlands to visit the family’s terminally ill grandfather, played by comedy legend Billy Connolly. This could go either way but we’ll definitely be giving it a watch!

September 26th 

Get On Up

This biopic about the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, will no doubt have you wanting to get up and dance in the aisles. Classics like Night Train, Please Please Please and Try Me all feature, but there are lots of darker moments too – Brown was reportedly a controlling man with a short temper, unlike his public persona. Director Tate Taylor made a big name for himself with civil rights drama The Help, so we’re expecting big things this time around.
