This successor to DreamWorks’ 2002 animated adventure Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron follows a city girl forced to move to a small frontier town where she bonds with a wild mustang named Spirit. When Spirit’s herd is captured by rustlers, the pair and their friends band together to save them.

Sneak Preview sessions June 10 – 16.  Release date: June 24

Starring the delightful trio of Ryan Reynolds, Salma Hayek and Samuel L. Jackson, this is the follow-up to the hilarious 2017 smash hit. It follows the outrageous friendship between bodyguard Michael Bryce (Reynolds), and assassin Darius Kincaid (Jackson) as they embark on saving Darius’s wife Sonia (Hayek).

Days of the Bagnold Summer sweetly draws you into the wobbly relationship between well-intentioned single librarian Sue Bagnold and her black-clad teenage son Daniel, who’d rather listen to Metallica than his mother.
The film boasts supporting turns by Rob Brydon and Alice Lowe, but belongs to its two leads. Long-suffering Sue is sympathetically portrayed by Monica Dolan, with Earl Cave’s Daniel a suitably lank-haired, pale-skinned picture of adolescent metal-head angst.

​★★★★ “Very likeable British film… beautifully directed” – David Stratton, The Australian.

★★★★ “It’s a love song to modern suburban Britain, with irony, bitterness and affection in equal measure.” – Sydney Morning Herald

“Funny. Keen observed. And surprisingly poignant.” – Sunday Telegraph Sydney

Dream Alliance is an unlikely race horse bred by small-town Welsh bartender Jan Vokes.

The group’s unlikely investment plan pays off as the horse rises through the ranks and puts them in the running for a national championship.

Cast: Toni Collette, Damion Lewis, Joanna Page, Siân Phillips, Owen Teale, Peter Davision, Nicholas Farrel, Peter Davison, Karl Johnson

“If audiences are looking for a little uplift after a long time locked down, if they want a feeling of hope and human connection, and if they long for just a good old-fashioned, Rocky-like feel-good story, then Dream Horse, is the must-see movie for them. Finally hitting theaters after debuting at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, it’s one of those small gems that somehow gets made in the shadow of blockbuster tentpoles and genre films. This true story of a small Welsh town and the unlikely racehorse champion that brings them together is a lovely movie designed to make you feel good about life. Nothing wrong with that.”  Deadline Film Review
