ALLIED
From the director of Forrest Gump and Cast Away comes the year's most seductive thriller, and with Brad Pitt at the helm of a stellar cast, you know you're in for something fantastic.

With only 72 hours to prove her innocence before he is forced to do the unthinkable, this action-packed film is guaranteed to have you on the edge of your seat the whole way through.

WHY HIM?
It's a father's worst nightmare - your daughter starts dating someone who is rude, socially awkward and a little crazy. Why Him? perfectly sums up all the mixed emotions that arise when your child choses someone less than preferable, leaving the audience laughing out loud as the over-protective dad (Bryan Cranston) struggles to accept party boy Laird Mayhew (James Franco).
For everyone who's familiar with Franco's style of comedy, this wild film will have you in stiches by the end.

JACKIE
Whether you have followed her journey, briefly touched on the Kennedys in history class or just love any film with an inspirational leading lady, Jackie is for you.
The movie follows the story of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy (Natalie Portman), grappling with unimaginable grief and trauma following President John F. Kennedy's assassination. Her admirable strength, faith and faultless class sees her beginning a new life with their children.
