REVIEW: THE long trials, tribulations and ultimate triumph of pregnancy and birth are rarely, if ever covered adequately in movies, which is why Tully — which dares make PND the driving premise of its story — is definitely something to be applauded.
CHARLIZE Theron returns to cinemas this week with one of her best efforts to date in the black comedy Tully. Here are five more ways to stream the Oscar-winner in your own time.
TIRED of aimlessly trawling your streaming services for something to watch? Let Leigh Paatsch do the hard work for you. Here are the latest movies to stream this week.
MIDNIGHT Oil 1984 is a riveting documentary time capsule reconnecting fans to the power and the passion of our greatest live band in their irresistible prime.
THE Rover: Guy Pearce is ready to rumble, Robert Pattinson is ready to mumble in a movie destined to crumple under the expectations heaped on it.
HOW to Train Your Dragon 2: Some films hit the ground running. This sequel knows full well it can go one better than that.
EDGE of Tomorrow: It’s the cleverest affair to carry the Cruise brand in years. Even if you’ve written the bloke off, you might just want to take a look.
THE Fault in Our Stars: Shailene Woodley gives a pitch-perfect lead performance in a movie that hits the tear ducts of its target audience like a weep-seeking missile.
MALEFICENT: It may go down in history as the cheapest-looking $200 million movie ever shot, but an inspired Angelina Jolie stops the rot.
OMAR: Israeli interrogators make a Palestinian freedom fighter an offer he cannot refuse in this Oscar-nominated film that gets everything right.
A: NOT really. A Million Ways to Die in the West has a gastrically panicked Neil Patrick Harris, some offensive jokes and an ungainly lead. And that’s just the start.
BY THE twenty-minute mark of Maleficent, it looks for all the world as if Angelina Jolie has bet her long-awaited movie comeback on the wrong horse.
