Whats on

The Awakening

1921 England is overwhelmed by the loss and grief of World War I. Hoax exposer Florence Cathcart visits a boarding school to explain sightings of a child ghost. Everything she knew in unravels as the 'missing' begin to show themselves.


The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1

It's the beginning of the end of the epic love story between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, and what has become a worldwide sensation, in BREAKING DAWN PART 1, directed by DREAMGIRLS' Bill Condon.


REVIEW: Drive

Having not watched the movie trailer before parting with my hard earned cash to go and watch ‘Drive’ (I’m easily persuaded – sure), I didn’t have any preconceived expectations of setting, plot or actors to go on at all, other than the title ‘Drive’ which I presumed would be thriller-like in nature. What I found was a beautifully crafted, gorgeous, 80s induced orgy of explosive action, crime and ego.


JUSTICE

Opens in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on November 18.
