Silver Screen Weekly - What's Coming Up At The Cinema From Friday 12th July
Gru and the minions are back! This fourth film in the hit and beloved animated series sees former villain Gru (Steve Carell) settling in to family life with Lucy (Kristen Wiig), in spite of new addition to the family Gru Jr. being a bit defiant. However when new supervillain Maxime Le Mal (Will Ferrell) and his girlfriend Valentina (Sofia Vergara) pose a new threat, Gru and the family is forced to go on the run! Another freeze ray blast of manic energy and family friendly excitement, Illumination Entertainment's blockbusting franchise is firing on all cylinders in this fourth outing, which might be their biggest one yet!
Being hailed as a modern day Silence Of The Lambs, Oz Perkins’ disturbing horror/mystery is being called this decade’s best horror. Set in the 1990s and starring Maika Monroe as FBI agent Lee Harker, as she investigates a series of potentially satanic killings by a killer known as Longlegs, Harker soon discover a personal link to this case through new evidence, and must act fast to avoid a new tragedy. Nicolas Cage is being called unrecognisable and disturbing in this film, alongside a star-making performance by Monroe, Longlegs is a film that gets under your skin and once seen is impossible to shake. A modern classic in the making!
A gruesome and experimental slasher horror, filmed largely from the point of view of its masked killer. In A Violent Nature sees a group of friends discover a locket at the remains of a fire tower deep in the woods, as one of them takes it, the ground begins to move and thus awakens a monstrous undead figure, who seems driven by an otherworldly urge to kill and get back that locket. Director Chris Nash’s film is a slasher horror that is born and bred on the genre classics but offers a refreshingly unique and deep cinematic experience, laced with some impactful brutality.
This romantic comedy from director Greg Berlanti tells the story of the blossoming love between a marketing specialist and NASA director amidst the ‘60s space race, as they are both involved in the Apollo 11 launch but also need to worry about a highly secret mission - staging a fake moon landing to broadcast, just in case anything goes wrong with the real thing! Witty, charming and irresistible, this interstellar treat stars Channing Tatum, Scarlett Johansson and Woody Harrelson in a cinematic experience set to warm your heart and give that funny bone a nudge!
