men\, and one that François’s wife (Sara Giraudeau) is initially sceptic

affman’s attempts at escape are thwarted and he now finds himself at Fra

DESCRIPTION:Newly widowed Harper (Jessie Buckley) retreats alone to the E
nglish countryside to seek solace from the traumatic events surrounding
the death of her husband. Moving into a picturesque country house\, she
tries to heal\, but her peace is constantly interrupted by the various m
en in the town. And it’s not long before she gets the feeling that someo
ne – or something – is stalking her.\n\nExamining the cyclical nature of
toxic masculinity through the lens of a horror film\, writer-director A
lex Garland (Ex Machina) makes his first foray into the genre\, and the
end result is no less inventive or memorable. A particularly creepy stro
ke of genius was to have most of the men in the town – from Harper’s lan
dlord to the local vicar\, a policeman or pub-goers passing by – all be
played by a chameleonic Rory Kinnear.\n\n\n-

a classic book that has been handed down through the generations. The st

(Cary Elwes) who encounters numerous obstacles\, enemies and allies in
his quest to be reunited with his true love\, Buttercup (Robin Wright).\
n\nAlthough initially a box office failure\, The Princess Bride has gone
on to become a beloved cult film in years since its release. With its d

a Naval Air Station to instruct an elite group of F/A-18 Super Hornet av

the importance of teamwork.\n\nWith the obligatory combat aviation scen

DESCRIPTION:In 1962\, Roald Dahl (Hugh Bonneville) was an up-and-coming a
uthor of children's books\, married to Hollywood movie star Patricia Nea
l (Keeley Hawes). An unlikely pairing from the get-go\, the couple end u
p retreating to the English countryside to focus on bringing up – and ex
panding – their young family\, while ignoring fears that their fluctuati
ng careers may soon be over. But their relationship is soon put to the u
ltimate test when tragedy strikes.\n\nTheir shared grief eventually beco
mes a source of redemption and strength\, with Neal going on to win an O
scar for 1963’s Hud\, starring alongside Paul Newman\, and Dahl writing
"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"\, the renowned book which made him a
household name. \n\nBased on Stephen Michael Shearer's biography about
Neal\, To Olivia is a poignantly and elegantly made film which looks at
a short but crucial period in the couple’s lives – and the transformativ

DESCRIPTION:In 1953\, the body of a young woman is discovered at Place Ve

to identify her\, and no witnesses. Pensive and world-weary Inspector J
ules Maigret (Gérard Depardieu) endeavours to piece together her story.

abeste) who bears an uncanny resemblance to the victim\, but who also re

hero of 75 bestselling novels written by Belgian author Georges Simenon
from the 1930s to 1970s. A French counterpart to the likes of Poirot\,
Maigret has been brought to screens both big and small many times over t

ings the turbulent life of renowned poet Siegfried Sassoon (Jack Lowden\

ment’s role in the war. He became a leading poet of his era\, and is bes

highly complex figure of the 20th century\, he tried to find salvation w
ithin the conformity of marriage and religion whilst at the same time pu
rsuing affairs with several men.\n \nBenediction’s portrayal of a man se

ll he has to do is collect a briefcase aboard a bullet train leaving fro
m Tokyo\, and then get off before it reaches its final destination. How
hard can that be?\n\nOnce on board\, however\, Ladybug finds himself on
a collision course with a whole bevy of lethal adversaries from around t
he globe – all with conflicting objectives. And even if he survives the
journey\, he may not survive what awaits him at the end of the line.\n\n
Bullet Train is the latest film from David Leitch\, the insane stuntman-
turned-director behind the likes of Deadpool 2\, Atomic Blonde and John
Wick\, so it should come as no surprise that this film is chock full of
intense\, breathtaking and expertly choreographed action.\n\n-

Julio Blanco (Javier Bardem) is the charismatic owner of the family-run

panish equivalent of the Oscars)\, including Best Film\, Best Director a
nd Best Actor.\n\n\n-

struggles to help her through the crisis to no avail\, but an unlikely
