Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
Starring Eddie Redmayne, Jonny Depp and Jude Law, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is the second instalment in the magical franchise, which is an offshoot to J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series.
When rumour has it that Gellert Grindelwald is heading to Paris, a young Dumbledore enlists the help of former student, Newt Scamander to stand against one of the most dangerous wizards of all time.
There’s only one problem: Newt is notoriously known for being bad at taking orders and there’s great speculation as to whether he’ll be prepared for the dangers that lie ahead this time around. Loyalty and friendship are pushed to their limits during this dangerous mission that divides the wizarding world.
Family Favourite
Smallfoot
This hilarious family comedy puts a twist on the classic ‘Bigfoot’ tale. This time, a Yeti living high up on a remote, snowy mountain is the one who stumbles across a terrifying discovery, a human!
A host of Hollywood stars lend their voices to this adorable animation, including Channing Tatum, Zendaya, Gina Rodriguez, and even LeBron James, in a film that shows us that just because someone is different, it doesn’t mean they’re scary.
Leaving Soon

Drac ends up falling in love with the ship’s captain, Ericka. But there’s more to this mysterious woman than meets the eye…
