BLINDSPOTTING (15) TWO friends reassess their loyalty to each other in an incendiary comedy drama musical directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada, which unfolds on the mean streets of present-day Oakland.
Collin (Daveed Diggs) and Miles (Rafael Casal) are best friends, who work alongside each other for a removal company.
The job opens the men’s eyes to the gentrification of their beloved home and reminds them of the divide between the haves and have-nots in a city where tension is rife between police and the black community.
Ex-con Collin is just three days shy of a year’s probation and he is determined to keep his head down.
Hot head Miles seems determined to test his buddy’s resolve to breaking point.
During a late-night drive, Collin witnesses police brutality and at first, he tries to forget what he has seen.
However, his conscience has been pricked and Collin cannot simply stand by and allow men with badges, who are supposed to uphold the law, to abuse their position of power. HALLOWEEN (18) MASKED psychopath Michael Myers (Tony Moran) returns to multiplexes to mark the 40th anniversary of John Carpenter’s classic horror.
These screenings of a digitally restored and remastered print of the 1978 film include a pre-recorded introduction from the mercurial director.
As a young boy, Michael stabs the boyfriend of his teenage sister Judith and is promptly dispatched to Smith’s Grove Sanitarium under the care of psychiatrist Dr Samuel Loomis (Donald Pleasence).
Fifteen years later, Michael escapes from the facility and heads back to his home town of Haddonfield, Illinois, with Loomis in hot pursuit.
That night, high school student Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) babysits a boy named Tommy Doyle (Brian Andrews) while her good friend Annie Brackett (Nancy Kyes) babysits a girl called Lindsey Wallace (Kyle Richards) across the street.
Michael kills Annie and when Laurie discovers the grisly remains, she flees back to the Doyle house to protect little Tommy from the hulking assailant.
