Stars: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jeff Goldblum, Ted Levine, James Cromwell, Toby Jones, B.D. Wong, Rafe Spall, Daniella Pineda, Geraldine Chaplin, Kamil Lemieszewski, Justice Smith, Peter Jason | Written by Colin Trevorrow, Derek Connolly | Directed by J.A. Bayona
“Oh, yeah, ooh, ahhh, that’s how it always starts – then later there’s running and screaming.” That’s the philosophy behind every movie in the Jurassic Park franchise, summed up in a nutshell by Jeff Goldblum’s Dr Ian Malcolm in The Lost World (1997). The latest addition to the franchise – a sequel to 2015′s Jurassic World and the fifth instalment in the series overall – sticks closely to that basic formula, while simultaneously trying to make things a little different this time round. Unfortunately, when it comes to provoking both wonder (the oohs and ahhhs) and terror (the screams), there’s a definite sense that the franchise has been hit by the law of diminishing returns.

Stars: Dave Bautista, Pierce Brosnan, Ray Stevenson, Amit Shah, Martyn Ford, Kamil Lemieszewski, Ralph Brown, Lara Peake, Lucy Gaskell, Alexandra Dinu | Written by Jonathan Frank | Directed by Scott Mann
Dave Bautista’s solo action career continues its hot streak (see also: Bushwick) with Final Score, a ludicrous-but-fun Die Hard homage that sees the big man taking on terrorists at a football match in London. The film might have its flaws, but it delivers enough action-packed entertainment to ensure Bautista won’t be facing relegation anytime soon.
As established – albeit to outlandish extremes – in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, Bautista’s screen persona is essentially strong-but-sensitive, and he sticks closely to that template for his portrayal of Us military specialist Michael Knox, who arrives in London to visit the widow (Lucy Gaskell) and teenage daughter of his fellow soldier and best friend, who’s recently been killed in action.

This week sees the release of Entebbe (or 7 Days in Entebbe depending on where you are), the most recent retelling of the events of July 1976 in which an Air France plane was hijack by terrorists.
The film stars Rosamund Pike, Daniel Brühl, Eddie Marsan, Kamil Lemieszewski, Ben Schnetzer, Nonso Anozie, Denis Ménochet and Lior Ashkenazi.
The blurring of the life between good and evil was of paramount interest to both actors and director, and the film tries to find the human motivations behind both sides of the conflict. The nuanced voices of the film convey an understanding of the characters and the actors talk about the underlying belief of the actions their characters carry on. This film takes great pains to be provocative and challenging for its audience, and it is all the better for it.
The director talked about how the script took a different perspective to other films made about the same event.

Guy Ritchie's King Arthur will be heading for an August home release. Here are the details we have so far...
King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword had an extremely rocky road to the big screen.

Once billed as a Knights Of The Round Table cinematic universe-starter for Warner Bros, there was already a little blood in the water for Guy Ritchie's take on the Medieval tale when the initial release date got pushed back an entire year. When it finally arrived in cinemas a few months back, it was clear that there had been some big problems along the way, and the movie ended up being a massive flop for the studio.
