What's On - Herts and Essex

Movies showing in Herts and Essex

Men In Black 3

Third time's a charm for the sharp-suited Men In Black, who rediscover their swagger 10 years after the lacklustre second instalment.

 

Moonrise Kingdom

Standing out from the crowd takes courage and an unshakable self-belief to persist when others mock your efforts.

 

The Raid

East meets West and kicks butt in a dazzling collaboration between Welsh-born writer-director Gareth Evans and Indonesia's most daring fight choreographers and stunt performers.

 

All in good time

Set in Bolton, All In Good Time is a tender-hearted contemporary comedy about two newlyweds who discover that the honeymoon period ends much quicker than anticipated.

 

Jeff, who lives at home

Jeff, Who Lives At Home is distinguished by flowing, naturalistic dialogue and winning performances from an impressive ensemble cast.

Albert Nobbs

While Albert Nobbs falls short of great art, this handsome and languid period piece is distinguished by a scintillating, tour-de-force central performance from Glenn Close

2 days in New York

Cultural stereotypes provide cheap and easy laughs in Julie Delpy's boisterous sequel to her 2007 amuse-bouche, 2 Days In Paris.

The Dictator

Sacha Baron Cohen atones for the sins of Bruno with this gleefully bad taste fish-out-of-water comedy, which kicks sand in the eye of political correctness.

 

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

Punch & Judy, donkey rides, sandcastles and candy floss are in disappointingly short supply in Adrian Grunberg's grimy and darkly comic thriller.

 

The Lucky One

Based on a book by Nicholas Sparks, who also penned The Notebook and Dear John, The Lucky One follows a similar template

Avengers Assemble

More is less in Avengers Assemble, the special effects-laden amalgamation of four Marvel Comics franchises.

 



Cinema

Cinemas in the Observer patch.
