LOVE & FRIENDSHIP (U) LADY Susan Vernon (Kate Beckinsale, is concerned about the rumours that have begun to circulate about her relationship with smitten suitor Lord Manwaring (Lochlann O’Mearain).
She seeks refuge with her late husband’s family on their vast estate. Charles Vernon (Justin Edwards) is blind to Lady Susan’s capacity for mayhem, but his wife, Catherine (Emma Greenwell), is less trusting, especially when their house guest charms her handsome younger brother, Reginald (Xavier Samuel).
Lady Susan’s trusted confidante in tangled affairs of the heart is the equally unshockable Alicia Johnson (Chloe Sevigny), who has burdened herself with an older husband (Stephen Fry).
Love & Friendship is a rare tonic. Kate Beckinsale ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS (PG) IN this sequel, Alice (Mia Wasikowska) takes a tumble through a mirror and plummets into Wonderland and reunites with the White Queen (Anne Hathaway), Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Matt Lucas), Absolem the Caterpillar (voiced by Alan Rickman), The Dormouse (Barbara Windsor) and the White Rabbit (Michael Sheen).
They reveal that the Mad Hatter (Depp) is in an emotional funk because he’s convinced that his family, including his milliner father Zanik (Rhys Ifans), did not perish in the Jabberwocky’s inferno. To set the Hatter’s mind at rest, Alice agrees to steal a device called the Chronosphere from its guardian, Time (Sacha Baron Cohen).
Alice Through The Looking Glass is a topsy-turvy jaunt too far for Lewis Carroll’s iconic characters. Queen: Helena Bonham-Carter MONEY MONSTER (15) LEE GATES (George Clooney), gregarious host of a network television show which surveys the financial market, prepares to interview Diane Lester (Caitriona Balfe), chief communications officer of IBIS Global Capital, whose complex trading algorithm glitched overnight, losing investors $800 million.
With IBIS CEO Walt Camby (Dominic West) currently unavailable, Diane is concerned that she will be made a scapegoat. “We don’t do ‘gotcha journalism’ here. We don’t do journalism, period,” quips Lee’s long-suffering producer Patty Fenn (Roberts).
No sooner has the show started than a labourer, Kyle Budwell (O’Connell), who has lost his entire life savings in the IBIS crash, storms the set brandishing a gun. Money Monster is a cautionary tale about the get-rich-quick mentality of a modern society that blindly trusts in technology to deliver rewards.
