The Beekeeper

If Jason Statham plays a beekeeper you can bet the kids he’s an ex-special forces beekeeper and just the kind of guyyou’d call if you ran afoul of organised crime. So you can guess what happens when his friend Eloise does exactly that.

The Blind

This biopic with a Christian angle tells the true story of the Robertson family, who found fame on US reality TV showDuck Dynasty. Their roots of their subsequent success – as depicted here – make for compelling, inspiring viewing.

The Delinquents

No, not the 1989 Kylie Minogue movie. In fact, this is a twist-filled Argentinian thriller in which a man’s fiendishly clever heistplan seems to go well, only to have, shall we say, ‘unforeseen’ consequences.

Drift

Festooned with Sundance buzz, the superb Drift tells of Jacqueline, a refugee who escapes to a Greek Island – only to find herself in a day-to-day struggle for survival. When she meets a tour guide in similar circumstances, the two become unlikely pals.

Drive-Away Dolls

Normally a bolted-on duo with brother Joel, Ethan Coen flies solo for this uproarious adventure which still feels like aCoen Brothers’ movie. The plot involves two women who embark on a road trip – and cross paths with crims.

Dune: Part Two

If Dune: Part One felt like a foundation-laying exercise, it was time well spent, because any scene-setting(in short: future war over possession of a precious substance called Spice) pays off handsomely in this thrilling, immersive and visually stunning sequel.

Eileen

This slow-burning, critically overlooked thriller stars McKenzie as a woman whose life working at a prison is transformedby the arrival of a glamourous psychologist. Playing the latter (and playing against type) is Hathaway in one of her best performances in years.

Land of Bad

It’s quite some twofer when you get Luke and Liam Hemsworth in the same action movie. Add Crowe as a drone pilot,who must help special forces operator Kinney (Liam) to safety when a job goes wrong, and you’re talking action-movie nirvana, in a can.

The Last Rifleman

One of two films telling the same, rather wonderful story (the other is Michael Caine’s The Great Escaper) this hasBrosnan as Artie, a WWII vet who breaks out of his care home to attend the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings. Heart-warming, and then some.

The Teachers Lounge

The Three Musketeers: Milady

Cassel and co are back, still swashbuckling and sword-playing in a second instalment of the tale which finds them joining forces with Milady (Green) in order to try to save Constance. En garde! (again).
