CATS & DOGS: PAWS UNITE (PG)
Preview A DECADE on from lacklustre sequel Cats & Dogs: The Revenge Of Kitty Galore, a long-running feud between canines and felines threatens to reignite in this stand-alone family-friendly caper.
Thanks to a truce, relations between cats and dogs remain cordial for the benefit of everyone, including their human owners. The fragile peace is monitored by operatives from an organisation called Furry Animals Rivalry Termination (Fart) using a state-of-the-art covert surveillance system.
Arch villain Pablo the parrot (voiced by George Lopez) and a lizard sidekick hack into the system and old rivalries spiral out of control.
Two rookie agents, Gwen the cat (Melissa Rauch) and Roger the dog (Max Greenfield), pictured, must try to avert pet-mageddon, aided by a hand-picked team of four-legged specialists.
THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7 (15)
Preview DRAMATISATION of true events outside the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where angry protesters make their voices heard against President Lyndon B Johnson for his policies relating to the Vietnam War.

The men stand trial in September 1969 in front of Judge Julius Hoffman (Frank Langella), represented by attorneys William Kunstler ( Joseph GordonLevitt) and Leonard Weinglass (Ben Shenkman).
