NAPOLEON Napoleon details the checkered rise
and fall of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The film captures Bonaparte's relentless
journey to power through the prism of his addictive, volatile relationship
with his one true love, Josephine, showcasing his visionary military and
political tactics against some of the most dynamic practical battle sequences
ever filmed. A sweeping, compelling epic that is highly entertaining,
thoughtful, and surprisingly funny. Director Ridley Scott’s Napoleon
is a story of power, obsession and exploitation with standout
performances by Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby. Rated 14A (violence, sexually
suggestive scene) 2hrs35 (The film is not 4hrs! However, the
director’s cut will be over 4hrs and will be released next year). |
THE
HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES **Ends thu** Set 64 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute in The Hunger Games, and decades before Coriolanus Snow became the tyrannical President of Panem. The film follows a young Coriolanus who is the last hope for his failing lineage. With his livelihood threatened, Snow is reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird, a tribute from the impoverished District 12. But after Lucy Gray's charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift their fates. With everything he has worked for hanging in the balance, Snow unites with Lucy Gray to turn the odds in their favor. Daring, engaging, tense, and with touches of humour, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is an impressive movie-going experience featuring brilliant performances from Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Peter Dinklage and Viola Davis. Rated
PG (violence) 2hrs35 |
TROLLS:
BAND TOGETHER **ends thu** Poppy and Branch are back and now officially, finally, a couple!
As they grow closer, Poppy discovers that Branch has a secret past. He was
once part of her favorite boyband phenomenon, BroZone, with his four
brothers. BroZone disbanded when
Branch was still a baby, and Branch hasn't seen his brothers since. But when
Branch's bro Floyd is kidnapped for his musical talents by a pair of
nefarious pop-star villains, Branch and Poppy embark on a harrowing journey
to reunite the other brothers and rescue Floyd. With incredible music,
stunning animation, and a whole lot of heart, Trolls Band Together is
high-energy entertainment that adults can enjoy with little ones. Rated G 1hr30 |

ANATOMY OF A FALL **One of the best films of the

in the snow below their chalet, Samuel's suspicious death is presumed murder,
and Sandra becomes the main suspect. What follows is not just an
investigation but a chilling psychological journey into the depths of Sandra
and Samuel's conflicted relationship. Winner of the

gripping, masterfully executed courtroom thriller featuring a stunning,
Oscar-worthy performance from Sandra Hüller. Rated PG (coarse lang, violence) 2hrs22 |
