My Life as a Courgette – 02/06

Oscar nominated stop-motion animation from Switzerland about a young orphan called Courgette. After the death of the strangely-named boy’s mother, he finds himself in a foster home filled with other orphaned children. After struggling initially with his situation, Courgette finds friendship, trust and even love.

The Mummy – 09/06

Tom Cruise, Sofia Boutella and Russell Crowe star in this remake of the Universal monster classic, which is the first movie in the rebooted “Universal Monster Universe”. This time the Mummy is female, and the hero is a little person. Oh, hang on, nope. He’s just a short-arse. How short? Well, if Tom Cruise were a mummy, he’d be called Standsonas-Tep. I thank you.

Churchill – 16/06

Bryan Cox stars in this insurance-based drama about one bulldog’s dream of saving people money on their insurance. The start of a planned trilogy of movies (car, home, and travel), this one starts just before D-Day as Britain prepares to attempt to retake Nazi-occupied Europe. All they need are the right words to inspire them. Ohhhh, yes!

Heat – 26/06

Mondays are the home of cult cinema at Cinema City, and the big screen is definitely the best way to see this stylish, violent thriller starring two of Hollywood’s most charismatic actors – Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro. Directed by Michael Mann, Heat is electrifying, perfectly paced, and tenser than Theresa May on a televised debate at a food bank.
