Your weekend cinema trip... Irish sinners, Tom Cruise and Palestine
WHICH NEW MOVIE release is worth the price of a cinema ticket this weekend?
We’re here to help you decide just that, with these trailers.
Edge of Tomorrow
For fans of: Loud noises, Groundhog Day
Avoid if: You can’t cope with Tom Cruise being serious and breathy
Well, that’s quite the trailer! Soldiers fighting to rid the world of an alien invasion are caught in a time loop of dying in combat and returning to fight again and again, increasing in knowledge and skill each time… kind of like respawning in a video game we guess. The radiant Emily Blunt stars alongside Tom Cruise.
Jimmy’s Hall
For fans of: Ken Loach, sticking it to the man
Avoid if: You hated The Wind That Shakes the Barley
Described as director Ken Loach’s “sunniest” take on the tale of a dance hall in 1930s Ireland run by Irish communist Jimmy Gralton. Church and state leaders didn’t like the carry-on in the hall, from classes in the daytime to dancing at night, and Jimmy and the local parish priest come to blows. The film also deals with emigration, republicanism and idealism.
Omar
For fans of: Hany Abu-Assad’s 2005 film Paradise Now, The Battle of Algiers
Avoid if: You’re feeling tense
This Palestinian thriller follows three childhood friends living in the West Bank and planning to kill an Israeli soldier. There’s also a love triangle, betrayal, chase scenes and stand offs. Tense stuff from Palestinian director Abu-Assad.
