Mindhorn – 05/05
A washed-up actor is forced to once again take up his most famous role – Detective Mindhorn - when a serial killer, who believes that our titular hero is a real person, demands to engage him in a battle of wits, will, and cheesy dialogue. Julian Barrett stars amidst a host of Brit talent including Steve Coogan, Andrea Riseborough, and Simon Farnaby.
Miss Sloane – 12/05
Jessica Chastain stars as a D.C lobbyist, who may have bitten off more than she can chew when she takes on the most powerful opponent of her career. The world of U.S politics has never been more devious, more cunning, or more accurate (allegedly) than this tale of high-stakes, high-flying, high-powered politics.
Jack Nicholson Season – all month at Cinema City
Have you ever seen The Shining, Easy Rider, or One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest on the big screen? No? Neither have I. Do you want to? Then you’re in luck, as the Jack Nicholson Season at Cinema City continues. See Jack as a demented killer, a demented lawyer on a road trip, and/or a non-demented criminal pretending to be demented. Treat yourself, after all, “all work and no play…”
Baywatch – 29/05
Dwayne “Rock” Johnson and Zac “Paper, Scissors” Efron team up in this comedic big screen remake of the popular ‘90s TV show. Remember that? Remember when it was on Saturday evenings before Gladiators? Christ, Pamela Anderson followed by Jet. No wonder I wasn’t allowed a TV in my room as a teenager.

Chicken Town: World Premiere
I’ve never seen a movie that can jump between comedy and grounded realism with such ease and respect. ..... There is real, genuine importance in this movie. Even after becoming properly engrossed in these characters and the themes present in the movie, I keep on thinking that there are deeper meanings that will register with me on a rewatch.

SOUP presents THE BOWL
I know I've said it before, but it can't be understated how rare it is to see a brave new fledgling sitcom appear - never mind locally! I have to mention that the soundtrack to the episode was entirely original, which is unbelievably impressive for a project such as this. The leaflet I was given prior to the screening said that the pilot promised to be ‘bold, vibrant and entertaining’ - and that's absolutely what it is. That sums it up pretty well. There's a lot to be proud of here. I can't wait to say ‘I knew them when' years down the line.
