Dune
Dune follows a gifted man destined for greatness on a planet that is far from perfect, with violent forces clashing in a gold-rush to claim the world’s most precious resource, a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential. Oh, and giant sandworms go about snacking on the cast, so be ready for a bit of everything. It has historically failed to sparkle on the silver screen, but director Denis Villeneuve looks to have hit the mark at last. A monster you can’t avoid any longer.

James Bond: No Time to Die
We’ve already spouted about how good the latest James Bond flick is, and we’re doing so again. Having thought he’d found the quiet life, 007 (Daniel Craig) is yanked back into the fold to bring down a mysterious villain (Rami Malek) who possess a dangerous piece of technology that could bring the world to ruin. It’s had rave reviews, so why have you waited this long to see it for yourself.

The Many Saints of Newark
Love The Sopranos? You’re going to love this origins flick centred around the man himself, Tony Soprano.

The famous mob boss had to start somewhere…

Out Oct 7. Rated 15.
The Addams Family 2
Just try to sit through this family-fun film without humming along to the famous tune of snapping your fingers. The most frightful (in a good way) of cartoon families are back on the silver screen for another romp around their spooky mansion. Wacky adventures ensue as the family embarks on a seemingly doomed quest to fit the norm while on vacation. We still love them, though.
Out Oct 7. Rated PG.
Willy’s Wonderland
Nicolas Cage has starred in his fair share of riotous, completely daft but absolutely belting movies down the years, and this could be one for the ages. After having car trouble, that man Nicky agrees to offset repair costs in return for cleaning a derelict amusement park. Before long, the fun centre’s animatronic mascots burst into life, chasing down the intruding Cage in an hilarious rage against the machine.
Out now. Rated 15+.
