The Sharks - Arriving on VOD on April 14 - Watch the trailer

The rumor of sharks quickly spreads, unsettling the town, but Rosina remains unphased, instead focusing on her enigmatic coworker, Joselo, who she becomes increasingly attracted to and begins circling, much like the mysterious predators lurking just under the surface.

Directorial debut from Lucía Garibaldi, THE SHARKS world premiered at Sundance, where Garibaldi took home the prestigious Directing Award in World Cinema – Dramatic; additional screenings at San Sebastian International Film Festival, Guadalajara Film Festival winning the Special Jury Award, and Buenos Ares Film Festival where the film won the Special Jury Award and the FEISAL Award.

Film Inquiry's Kristy Strouse praised the film, calling the film "worth the search, with another young female force in Bentancur, and a beautiful debut by Garibaldi; this slow-moving feature leaves an impression", while David Rooney at he Hollywood Reporter complimented Garibaldi's ability to strip "conventional plotting down to the bone, a process mirrored by her skilled use of the wide-open physical spaces exposing her young protagonist's intensely private world."

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Review by Tom Marks on PlayStation 4 Pro

With Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Square Enix breathes exciting new life into the 1997 JRPG classic in spectacular fashion. It occasionally stumbles because of some dull filler and pointlessly convoluted additions to the story, but it still manages to stand as a great RPG in itself.

A spectacular reimagining of one of the most visionary games ever, the first game in this project will be set in the eclectic city of Midgar and presents a fully standalone gaming experience.

The world has fallen under the control of the Shinra Electric Power Company, a shadowy corporation controlling the planet's very life force as mako energy. In the sprawling city of Midgar, an anti-Shinra organization calling themselves Avalanche have stepped up their resistance. Cloud Strife, a former member of Shinra's elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary, lends his aid to the group, unaware of the epic consequences that await him.

Misbehaviour - Available on Demand 3 months early due to Covid-19 outbreak.

London, 6 April 2020, Pathe have today announced that because the UK cinema release of MISBEHAVIOUR was cut short by the Covid-19 crisis (with cinemas closing only 4 days after the film’s release), the film is being made available to watch at home 3 months ahead of schedule.

MISBEHAVIOUR’s launch as a digital download will be on 15th April 2020.  The film will be available on all platforms (including Amazon Prime, Sky Store and iTunes) for an exclusive period.

The film is directed by BAFTA winner Philippa Lowthorpe (Three Girls) and stars Keira Knightley, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jessie Buckley, Greg Kinnear, Lesley Manville, Keeley Hawes, Rhys Ifans and Phyllis Logan.

A politically relevant, inspirational true story, the film skilfully combines humour with drama to celebrate all women, however they choose to navigate a male-dominated world:

In 1970, the Miss World competition took place in London, hosted by US comedy legend, Bob Hope. At the time, Miss World was the most-watched TV show on the planet with over 100 million viewers.  Claiming that beauty competitions demeaned women, the newly formed Women’s Liberation Movement achieved overnight fame by invading the stage and disrupting the live broadcast of the competition. Not only that, when the show resumed, the result caused uproar: the winner was not the Swedish favourite but Miss Grenada, the first black woman to be crowned Miss World. In a matter of hours, a global audience had witnessed the patriarchy driven from the stage and the Western ideal of beauty turned on its head.

Interview with Josh Itkowitz - Director of "Same Boat"

Writer and producer Josh Itkowitz tells us about “Same Boat”, one of the more unique films on release this year, the story of a time-traveling assassin who falls in love with his target while on the same cruise.


Why movies? Was there a particular film as a kid that made you chase a career in entertainment?

I like stories. I like being moved by them. I like being distracted by them. I like ones that make me think and feel things. As a producer, I enjoy the challenge of making them. I never really had that moment as a kid of watching a film and thinking this is what I wanted to do with my life. When I was growing up I watched mostly the bigger movies that were in theaters, and remember really loving the goofiness of movies like Billy Madison and Dumb and Dumber.

Interview with Nicholas Vince who played the Chatterer Cenobite in Hellraiser

Ahead of Horror Channel’s broadcast of HELLRAISER and HELLRAISER II: Nicholas Vince, who played the Chatterer Cenobite, reflects on tackling monsters, his new one-man show and his love of Vincent Price


Horror Channel are broadcasting HELLRAISER and HELLRAISER II: HELLBOUND. How does it feel being part of such an iconic franchise?

I feel extremely fortunate. And I'm grateful to Horror Channel for screening the films, as there's a chance for people who've not seen them before to watch them. I've introduced the films at various screenings and I'm always delighted there's often a 50/50 split between fans of the films and first timers.


You’ve spoken a lot about your experiences of playing the Chatterer Cenobite. Looking back, how much would you say it has defined your career?

Oh, it made my career. It's given me the chance to work with some really interesting young film makers such as MJ Dixon, Paddy Murphy, Stewart Sparke, Katie Bonham, Federico Ichi Scargiali and Lawrie Brewster. And it led to writing comics for Marvel in the 1990's. It's opened many doors for me, particularly in terms of meeting fans of the films who've been very supportive too.

Box Office: Why Blockbusters Like ‘Tenet,’ ‘Top Gun’ And ‘Soul’ Have Yet To Be Delayed By Coronavirus

Most of the big June, July and August releases have yet to move, partially out of hopes that they won't have to.

We got word yesterday that Warner Bros. was delaying nearly its entire summer movie slate. While Scoob (originally slated for May 15), In the Heights (June 26) and Malignant (August 14) will open theatrically at a time-to-be-determined, Wonder Woman 1984 has been officially delayed from June 5 to August 14. Oddly enough, Chris Nolan’s $200 million sci-fi actioner Tenet, starring John David Washington and Robert Pattinson, has thus far maintained its intended July 17 opening weekend. It is one of a handful of potentially “big” movies that has yet to vacate its planned theatrical release date, arguably because it’s hoping that it won’t have to.

While most of the (presumably) biggest summer 2020 offerings are no longer slated to open as intended, although Wonder Woman 1984’s new release date still qualifies it as a summer movie, there are a few holdouts that are still technically scheduled to open in May, June and July. Along with DC Films’ Wonder Woman sequel, Marvel’s Black Widow is no longer opening on May 1, Spiral: From the Book of Saw is no longer opening on May 15, F9: The Fast Saga is no longer opening on May 22 and Illumination’s Minions 2: The Rise of Gru is no longer slated for July 3. So, what’s left among the potential summer biggies?
