Out This Week
Widows
When a gang of criminals are killed during a failed robbery, their widowed wives try to finish the business that their husbands could not. This dark comedy-thriller stars an incredible line-up including Viola Davis (Suicide Squad), Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby), Michelle Rodriguez (Avatar), Cynthia Erivo (Step) and Colin Farrell (In Bruges).
When one of the wives is raped by someone she was dating, the foursome decides to hatch a plan that will give her the revenge she deserves. The plan is simple: dump him in the middle of a desert without his clothes so that he has to hitch back to town naked. Things don’t go to plan.

The Girl in the Spider’s Web
Lisbeth Salander is back and she’s looking for revenge. Alongside Mikael Blomkvist, she’s pulled into another insidious mystery, which will take both of them down very dark roads indeed. Starring Claire Foy as the ruthless Salander and Sverrir Gudnason as Blomkvist.
When Lisbeth and journalist Mikael Blomkvist are drawn into a twisted mess of corruption, cybercrime, and espionage, things begin to get complicated. Figures from Lisbeth’s past creep into the mix, and she’s forced to confront the skeletons that spill out of the closet.
Family Favourite
The Grinch
The big green grump returns to our screens with a plot to ruin Christmas for the townspeople of Whoville. The Grinch (Benedict Cumberbatch) hates everything. He hates happy songs and happy people. He hates helping and kindness and friendship. But more than anything else, he hates Christmas.
This year, The Grinch has had enough. With a plan to ruin Christmas once and for all, The Grinch aims to disrupt the huge celebration. What The Grinch doesn’t plan for, however, is one little Who, who interrupts his plans with her own.
Leaving Soon
Johnny English Strikes Again
One of the UK’s greatest comedy talents, Rowan Atkinson, returns to his hilarious role as Johnny English, but there’s not long left to see the family favourite. The world’s greatest spy is brought out of retirement to save MI7 from a cyber-attack that’s left Britain – and Her Majesty – at risk.
Working with his assistant, Angus Bough (Ben Miller), Johnny travels to far-reaching and exotic locations to bring down those responsible for the hack, using analogue methods in a digital world. Can this old-school spy find victory against those who use technology for their own gains?
