There are plenty of movies out over the next couple of weeks but none of these particularly excite me. That doesn't mean there's no reason to visit the cinema and I am still looking forward to seeing Arrival. Louise Banks (Amy Adams) is an expert linguist, fluent in many languages. When twelve alien craft, whose intentions are unknown, enter the Earth's atmosphere, Louise is hired by the US Army to initiate first contact. Although currently posing no threat to the planet, the arrival of these new visitors has sparked worldwide panic and pushed the world to the edge of global war. To discover the truth and prevent war breaking out, she must take on the seemingly impossible task of translating a complete unknown language and take a chance that could threaten her life, as well as that of all life on Earth.
Noctural Animals is a complicated, multi-layered thriller that spans multiple time lines. The story begins when Susan (Amy Adams), a successful art gallery owner, unexpectedly receives a novel manuscript from her ex-husband, Edward (Jake Gyllenhall), who she left nineteen years ago. When Susan reads his novel, the story within begins to come to life on the screen and Edward's gruesome tale of revenge, after a family holiday turns deadly, unfolds as Tony (Gyllenhaal), his wife Susan (Isla Fisher) and their daughter are terrorised by a gang of Texan rednecks, led by the sinister Ray Marcus (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). Susan doesn't know how to take the book: is it a threat? As she continues to read, darks truths between the divorced pair are revealed.
Based on the international best-selling book, A Street Cat Named Bob tells the inspirational true story of busker James Bowen (Luke Treadaway). Recovering from a long drug addiction, James is alone and friendless until he discovers a stray ginger tomcat (Bob the Cat) in his temporary accommodation. He adopts the cat and names him Bob. Soon the pair are inseparable and James finds that his new feline friend can give him the hope and motivation he needs to turn his life around.
Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) is a maths savant and seemingly benign financial consultant who in fact made his career working as The Accountant for some of the world's most dangerous criminals organisations. However, the Treasury Department's Crime Enforcement Division, run by Jay King (J.K. Simmons), is beginning to close in on him, so Wolff takes on a legitimate client; a state-of-the-art robotics company, where an accounting clerk (Anna Kendrick) discovers
a discrepancy involving millions of dollars but as Christian un-cooks
the books and gets closer to the truth, the body count starts to rise.
Tom (Michael Fassbender) and Isabel Sherbourne (Alicia Vikander) are a couple very much in love, but they are not able to have children. They live on the remote island of Janus in Western Australia, where Tom is a traumatised WWI veteran now working as a lighthouse keeper on the island. When a boat washes ashore and the two discover a baby inside, Isabel pleads with her husband to let them raise the child as their own and against his better judgement, he agrees but the decision they have made will have
life-changing consequences that reach further than just the couple, as the history of the little girl they have adopted begins to catch up with them in The Light Between Oceans, a beautiful and heart-breaking big screen adaption of M.L. Stedman's novel of the same name.
Ewan McGregor's directorial debut is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning Philip Roth novel, American Pastoral, in which he also stars as Seymour “Swede” Levov, a former high school star in American football and now successful businessman who married Dawn (Jennifer Connelly), a previous Miss New Jersey winner. However, this is the 1960s and as the socio-political chaos in the USA continues, the couple's teenage daughter, Merry (Dakota Fanning), disappears after accusations of violence following peaceful protests and Swede vows to find her, but in doing so he is shaken to his core and is forced to look beneath the surface and confront the
chaos that is shaping the world around him.
Originally premiering during the LA Film Festival in June, A Hundred Streets tells three different stories of people who live in London; the complicated relationship shared between former rugby star Max (Idris Elba) and estranged wife Emily (Gemma Arterton), the hopes of young drug dealer Kingsley (Franz Drameh) who feels trapped in a life he doesn't want and goofy cabbie George (Charlie Creed-Miles), who just want to be able to adopt a child with his wife. These three separate stories of London life play out within a hundred streets of each other but will cross and intersect at important parts of each characters lives in this gritty, contemporary multi-layered drama.
