Jupiter Ascending
6 February
The directors who brought us the Matrix make their long-awaited return this weekend with Jupiter Ascending this month – a sci-fi action movie starring Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum.
The film follows Jupiter Jones, who was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people’s houses and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine, a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along—her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.
Selma
6 February
Selma chronicles the tumultuous three-month period in 1965, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent opposition. The epic march from Selma to Montgomery culminated in President Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965—one of the most significant victories for the civil rights movement.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Sponge out of Water
6 February
The world has been in need of some more SpongeBob SquarePants, apparently, and it’s about it get it in the sponge’s most ambitious film to date.
Sponge out of Water follows the world’s favourite sea-dwelling invertebrate, who comes ashore to our world for his most super-heroic adventure yet.
The Interview
6 February
Whether you’ve already watched The Interview through a VOD service or not, the comedy which caused such a stir with North Korea is finally hitting cinemas this weekend.
The Interview follows Dave Skylark (James Franco) and his producer, Aaron Rapoport (Seth Rogan), who run the popular celebrity tabloid TV show Skylark Tonight. When they discover that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is a fan of the show, they pitch for an interview with him, in an attempt to legitimise themselves as journalists. As Dave and Aaron prepare to travel to Pyongyang, their plans change when the CIA recruits them, perhaps the two least‑qualified men imaginable, to assassinate Kim Jong-un.
