This week's releases


World War Z: Based on the simply awesome book of the same name by Max Brooks, this movie adaptation has had a troubled history with a supposedly excellent screenplay being ditched because it lacked enough action scenes and many scenes needing to be re-shot at an astronomical cost. Many have written the film off as a flop before it's even been released but this tale of United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Pitt) trying to halt the zombie apocalypse that is taking over the world is hard not to see.



Before Midnight: The final in the trilogy from director Richard Linklater that has spanned nearly two decades, we realise that Jesse and Celine are married after the decision by Jesse to stay in Paris rather than fly back to his wife in America. But will they live happily ever after taking a holiday on a Greek island with friends? My sense of foreboding tells me no.



Spike Island: An aspiring band to the biggest music event of the 1990s as The Stone Roses play their legendary era-defining concert. Determined to forget their boring lives and become the latest Madchester sensation, the five mates will stop at nothing to meet their heroes and hand over their demo tape. Now all they have to do is somehow get into the sold out gig. Are they chasing fool's gold…or will one love keep them together in 'Spike Island'?
