Brave (Rating: U)
Brave follows the heroic journey of Merida, a skilled archer and headstrong daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the unruly and uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin, surly Lord Macintosh and cantankerous Lord Dingwall. Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric Witch for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to harness all of her skills and resources, including her clever and mischievous triplet brothers, to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late, and discover the meaning of true bravery.
Directed by Mark Andrews based on a novel written by Brenda Chapman, Brave features the vocal talents of Kelly Macdonald, Emma Thompson, Billy Connolly, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson, Robbie Coltrane and Julie Walters.
Red Tails (Rating: PG)
Inspired by the true story of World War II’s first African-American fighter squadron, Red Tails is a thrilling action-packed film with the most realistic dogfights ever to hit the screen. The film tells the tale of the heroic 332nd fighter group of the US Army Air Corps who overcame racial discrimination to become one of the most distinguished squadrons in World War II.
Directed by Anthony Hemingway, executive produced by George Lucas and written by John Ridley and Aaron McGruder, Red Tails stars Cuba Gooding Jr, David Oyelowo, Terrence Howard, Nate Parker and Ne-Yo.
The Angels’ Share (Rating: 16)
The Angels’ Share is a bittersweet comedy about a Glasgow boy locked in a family feud who just wants a way out. When Robbie sneaks into the maternity hospital to visit his young girlfriend Leonie and hold his newborn son Luke for the first time, he is overwhelmed. He swears that Luke will not lead the same stricken life he has led. On community service Robbie meets Rhino, Albert and Mo for whom, like him, work is little more than a distant dream. Little did Robbie imagine that turning to drink might change their lives – not cheap fortified wine, but the best malt whiskies in the world. What will it be for Robbie? More violence and vendettas or a new future with “water of life”?
Directed by Ken Loach and written by Paul Laverty, the film stars Paul Brannigan, John Henshaw, Roger Allam, Gary Maitland, Jasmin Riggins, William Ruane and Siobhan Reilly.
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (Rating: 16)
As an asteroid nears Earth, a man finds himself alone after his wife leaves in a panic. He decides to take a road trip to reunite with his high school sweetheart. Accompanying him is a neighbor who inadvertently puts a wrench in his plan.
Written and directed by Lorene Scafaria, the film stars Steve Carrell, Keira Knightley and Melanie Lynskey.
