Collateral Beauty – I Hated This Movie!
Collateral Beauty is a story about grief, recovery and redemption – themes also found in Kenneth Lonergan’s brilliant Manchester By Sea.

Tasty Trailer: The Hundred-Foot Journey
DreamWorks’ The Hundred-Foot Journey is the story of how an Indian family’s decision to open an Indian restaurant across the road from a Michelin-starred classical French restaurant affects the family’s son, the French restaurant’s proprietress, the family and the region.

Hitchcock Is Incredibly Tacky Fun!
Hitchcock is a fabulist take on Hitchcock’s life while making Psycho. It opens with Hitchcock introducing the film in a manner we can recognise from television’s classic Alfred Hitchcock Presents following a murder that will play into the story in a pretty dramatic (and also cheeky) way.
