  • American Pie: Reunion (15)

    Synopsis:

    In the comedy American Reunion, all the American Pie characters we met a little more than a decade ago are returning to East Great Falls for their high–school reunion. In one long–overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn‘t and that time and distance can‘t break the bonds of friendship.

Oz and Heather grew apart, but Finch still longs for Stifler‘s mom. Now these lifelong friends have come home as adults to reminisce about – and get inspired by – the hormonal teens who launched a comedy legend.

  • Dark Shadows (12A)

    Synopsis:

    In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet–or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy…until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive.

    Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once–grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live–in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles.

    Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth‘s ne‘er–do–well brother, Roger Collins, (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger‘s precocious 10–year–old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis, played by Jackie Earle Haley, and David‘s new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella Heathcote.

    Starring: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham-Carter, Michelle Pfeiffer

  • Salmon Fishing In The Yemen (12A)

    Synopsis:

    A romantic, contemporary fable, SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN is the tale of government employee Dr Alfred, or Fred, Jones (Ewan McGregor), a rather introverted scientist at the Department of Fisheries and Agriculture. Trudging along in his day job, with his marriage stagnating, his world is suddenly thrown into turmoil when he‘s drawn into a scheme hatched by a fly fishing–obsessed Yemeni Sheikh (Amr Waked) who dreams of achieving the seemingly impossible – introducing salmon to the wadis of the Yemen.

    When the British government, desperate for a good news story in the area, gets wind of the Sheikh‘s plan, the Prime Minister‘s fearsome spokesperson, Patricia Maxwell (Kristin Scott Thomas), seizes on the idea – it‘s a good news story that will deflect attention away from the government‘s latest blunder. She appoints Fred to oversee the project, which pleases him not at all. For a logical, rather stuffy scientist like Fred, the idea of introducing salmon to the Yemen is one step short of madness.

    Fred, however, is eventually won over by the charismatic Sheikh and his mystical worldview, while he also begins to fall for the Sheikh‘s representative, Harriet Chetwode–Talbot (Emily Blunt), a gentle and engaging English beauty who joins on him his journey into the Yemen. When Fred is drawn into helping Harriet try and fix the troubles in her life, he learns to cast off his deep–set cynicism. With Harriet‘s encouragement and support, Fred then rises to the Sheikh‘s eccentric challenge, and embarks upon a journey of self–discovery and late–blooming love.

    Starring: Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt, Kristin Scott Thomas

  • The Dictator (15)

    Synopsis:

    Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat, Bruno) is back in his latest comic guise that sees him a play an evil tyrant with more than just a passing resemblance to Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein in ‘The Dictator’.

    This tongue-in-cheek portrait of ‘a dictator who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed’ uses the same brand of shocking comedy that’s made Cohen infamous throughout the world.

    Starring: Sacha Baron Cohen, Anna Faris , John C. Reilly

  • The Hunger Games (12A)

    Synopsis:

    In a not–too–distant future, the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch. When 16–year–old Katniss‘ young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district‘s female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, the son of the town baker who seems to have all the fighting skills of a lump of bread dough, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives.

    Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson
