◆ Trending: Trending Cinema: 5 of the best new films to go and see this weekend
Here are five new release films we recommend you watch if you fancy a trip to the cinema this week.
Late Night With The Devil
If you only go and see one film this weekend, make it this one. Released to little fanfare, a number of cinemas have now been forced to put on extra screenings after cinema goers handed this David Dastmalchian horror rave reviews. Set in the late 1970s, charismatic TV show host Jack Delroy unleashes unspeakable evil into the world when a live broadcast goes wrong.
Monster
Another film that has been a hit with audiences, Monster is a Japanese psychological dramatic mystery that begins when a determined single mother demands answers from her son’s school teacher when he begins to act out of character.
Copa 71
Released in cinemas on March 23, Copa71 has already been handed the title of one of the “great football documentaries” and tells the story of the 1971 Women’s World Cup, an ‘unofficial’ tournament that pulled in crowds of more than 100,000, but was somehow erased from the record books. Drive Away Dolls
Despite a lukewarm reception by critics, cinema goers appear to have given Ethan Coen’s debut solo feature a big thumbs up. Starring Margaret Qualley (Poor Things) as a gay woman in search of a new start after a break-up, she embarks on an impromptu road trip with her friend, but things quickly go wrong when they meet with a group of inept criminals.
Origin
The Oscar-nominated biographical drama film is screening in select Scottish cinemas over the next week. Based on the life of author Isabel Wilkerson, Origin details the journey taken by her as she wrote the book 'Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents' all while attempting to overcome her own personal tragedy.
also said they will report every hate crime offence, their workload will quickly become overwhelming.
The implementation of Humza Yousaf’s Hate Crime Bill is unlikely to make Scotland a more tolerant country. On the contrary, unless the Act is repealed, our country is likely to become more hate-filled and, dare I suggest, more like a totalitarian state.
