COMING SOON

INFORMER

BBC-produced miniseries about a Pakistani man who’s coerced into becoming an informer for a shady counter-terrorism officer. Compulsive viewing. The second season of HBO’s sci-fi series is as violent, profound and confusing as the first. Will make you feel bad for killing NPCs in RDR2.

THE DARKEST MINDS

YA adaptation set in a world where 98% of children die, but the remaining 2% develop superpowers. Swings and roundabouts...

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP

Lesser Marvel it may be hot on the heels of Avengers: Infinity War, but this second outing for the MCU’s smallest super is huge fun.

UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB

Sequel to the innovative, but schlocky, horror set solely on PC screens. Interesting fact: it released in cinemas with alternate endings.

THE MEG

All you really need to know about The Meg is that Jason Statham may or may not punch a giant shark in it. How can you resist taking a bite out of that?

THE FESTIVAL

In this Brit-com, a sadsack twentysomething is dragged to a music festival after an abrupt break-up. Naturally, depraved high jinks ensue. Denzel Washington returns as badass Robert McCall. The conspiracy subplot is a drag, but the DIY fight sequences still pack a punch.

MAQUIA: WHEN THE PROMISED FLOWER BLOOMS

Beguiling anime about an immortal girl who discovers an orphan boy and raises the child as her own.

CHRISTOPHER ROBIN

Losing sight of what matters in life, adult Christopher Robin is visited by Winnie The Pooh and his friends. Will make you weep buckets.
