In 2009 Somali pirates boarded the MV Maersk Alabama - the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in 200 years. Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Ultimatum) directs a tense and thrilling recreation of what followed, as the trigger-happy pirates demand a huge ransome, and the crew fight for their lives. The film is tipped for Oscar glory, and stars Tom Hanks as Captain Phillips, and Catherine Keener as his wife Andrea.

‘With his irrepressibly kinetic style, Greengrass could probably make the opening of a cereal box exciting…the film rips right along and never relinquishes its grip.’ The Hollywood Reporter

Philomena (12A)
Dir: Stephen Frears, UK/USA/France, 98 mins
‘Judi Dench is a delight in this moving, surprisingly funny, confounding delight of a film.’ The Guardian The new film from Stephen Frears (The Queen) tells the true story a retired nurse who sets out to find her son, taken from her and sold for adoption. Helping her in her quest is Martin Sixsmith, a former BBC reporter; together they search out clues, starting with the repressive Abbey where Philomena had her baby nearly 50 years before. Steve Coogan (who also co-wrote the screenplay) is excellent as Sixsmith, and Judi Dench is superb as Philomena, and is tipped for her second Best Actress Oscar.
