Every week, we compile a list of the movies that are opening in cinemas. Here are the info & trailers!
I’ve been fascinated by the number of times film makers take us into a church setting. The question is why do this? Whether bathed in the light of stained glass or under the gaze of a crucifix, there must be a method or reasoning behind this decision.
Some films just break your heart. They wheedle their way in with a warm embrace, and find a way to really stay with you, leaving you with deep a sense of loss, and yet, gratitude. A Death in the Gunj is one such film.
Warner Brothers has put itself in a tough spot with its heartwarming drama Collateral Beauty, trying to position it as the safe, star-studded movie the entire family can see over the holidays.
Little Men is a quiet character study that manages to demonstrate the effect gentrification has on two families, without ever uttering that word or making it a thesis rallying against the modernisation of different communities.
Trolls is aimed as squarely at parents as it is the kids, who likely won’t be as familiar with the terrifically tressed toy trolls as they were say, Angry Birds. Probably not a problem. A comeback seems likely.
In 2009 Danny Boyle joked that he wanted to make a sequel but only when the original actors had visibly aged enough to do it. After 20 years, T2: Trainspotting is coming to cinemas early 2017.

Saving Mes Aynak’s central figure, Qadir Temori, is an Afghan archaeologist more Don Quixote than Indiana Jones, fighting forces from all sides threatening to wrench from his country what is deemed the most significant find of the century.
Elle faithfully transcribes the original book “Oh…”, presenting masochistic and sadistic elements as comedy in the darkest form.
Chris Evans is merely on break from his Captain America gig, but he’s already squeezed in five non-MCU films since taking up the shield (one of which he directed), and this one looks like it will continue to add variety to his filmography.
