IT’S the last weekend of school holidays and your final chance to get cosy on the couch with the kids before they return to school. From a buddy comedy starring The Rock to a raw documentary on the Everest experience, here’s what to stream this week.
A FRENCH movie. About French wine. A marriage made in heaven, no? In the case of Back to Burgundy, make that a no, not quite.
NOTHING says action movie more than a hero going against a tribe of bad dudes inside the confines of a skyscraper. These big-buildings-and-big-danger blockbusters are ready to stream right away.
REVIEW: In Skyscraper, endearing he-man hero Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson gets in a fight with a building that has caught on fire. Can’t guess who wins? Then you need guessin’ lessons.
REVIEW: The novelty hasn’t quite worn off A Night at the Museum, but the franchise probably should stop with this third instalment.
REVIEW: Russell Crowe’s The Water Diviner might change your mind about Australian cinema – for the better.
WHAT festive flick best suits your own particular view of Christmas? Take our interactive quiz, and Leigh Paatsch will come up with a recommendation.
MOVIE REVIEW: The new Annie movie has a sturdy musical plot to draw on that holds up well, but the rearranged songs are mighty shaky.
THESE are the best and the worst films that hit our cinema screens this year. While some blew us away, the Transformers won’t be happy.
MOVIE REVIEW: Mr. Turner is an engrossing biopic of the famous British painter JMW Turner from legendary UK filmmaker Mike Leigh.
MOVIE REVIEW: Like a majority of sequels to hit comedies, Horrible Bosses 2 feels as if it is the result of a compulsory work order.
MOVIE REVIEW: Paddington is one of the finer family films of this, or any other year. This magnificent movie adaptation is highly recommended.
