This week's releases


The World's End: When 40-year old teenager Gary (Simon Pegg) recalls his mates to their old stomping ground with plans to drink their way to The World's End pub, their boozy day soon turns into the ultimate fight for survival as catastrophe threatens to call last orders on civilization. Pegg not straying too far from his previous hit Shaun of the Dead here but it is certainly what he does best.




Wadjda: Haifa Al-Mansour’s debut feature is a realist gem, which throws a spotlight on the domestic lives and daily challenges faced by Saudi Arabian women. Set in Riyadh, the film centres on ten-year-old tomboy Wadjda who longs for freedoms that are well beyond her reach. When her mother refuses to buy Wadjda a bicycle for fear of her young daughter’s modesty, Wadjda defiantly sets out to raise the money herself.



The Wolverine: The disappointing Wolverine franchise rumbles on to fill the gap until the next X-Men film, Hugh Jackman reprises his role to make you forget that he is an esteemed Broadway actor but the synopsis is that in a strange land and with his powers weakened, he is drawn into a series of confrontations that bring his legendary immortality into question...and see him fighting for his life at every turn.
