TULLY

PADDINGTON 2

Charlize Theron is dynamite as Marlo, a mother struggling to deal with two toddlers and a newborn. When Marlo’s brother gifts her a nanny named Tully, her life suddenly changes. Tully is young, radiant and energetic, helping with demands of motherhood. But what happens when Tully has to move on?

A morning of free family fun. Themed activities in Buss Park followed by a family friendly film screening. Programmed to be inclusive to all members of the community and accessible to all abilities.

This biting dark comedy on the tribulations of young motherhood comes from the prescient pen of Diablo Cody, the genius behind Juno, Young Adult and the United States of Tara.

With a radiant performance from Mackenzie Davis as Tully, and electric direction from Jason Reitman, this is a quietly radical and thoroughly modern feminist take on life as a new mother in the 21st century.

The much-anticipated sequel to the worldwide hit family film finds Paddington happily settled with the Brown family in Windsor Gardens, where he has become a popular member of the community, spreading joy and marmalade wherever he goes.

While searching for the perfect present for his beloved Aunt Lucy’s hundredth birthday, Paddington spots a unique pop-up book in Mr. Gruber’s antique shop and embarks upon a series of odd jobs to buy it.

But when the book is stolen, it’s up to Paddington and the Browns to unmask the thief.

LA DOLCE VITA

OCEANS 8

Winner of the Palme D’Or at Cannes and setting the standard for world cinema in 1960, Italian maestro Federico Fellini (La Strada, 8 1/2) dramatically opened the eyes of cinema goers and critics alike with this searing critique of a celebrity-obsessed, hedonistic world as seen through the eyes of a fluff-peddling journalist.

Five years, eight months, 12 days...and counting. That’s how long Debbie Ocean has been devising the biggest heist of her life.

Marcello Rubini (Marcello Mastroianni) is a gossip columnist and would-be novelist who chronicles “the sweet life’ of fading aristocrats, second-rate movie stars and aging playboys in high society Rome in the 50s. Armed with his “paparazzi”, the philandering Marcello ultimately succumbs to loneliness and tragedy as he flees his obsessive, suicidal fiancée while vainly vying for the affections of a vivacious screen goddess (Anita Ekberg). Showcasing the sexy and truly audacious romp in the famed Trevi Fountain in glistening high definition black and white, as well as including a treasure trove of special features, La Dolce Vita remains a milestone of European cinema.

She knows what it’s going to take—a team of the best in their field, starting with her partnerin-crime Lou Miller. Together, they recruit a crew of specialists: jeweler Amita; street con Constance; expert fence Tammy; hacker Nine Ball; and fashion designer Rose.

The target is a cool $150 million dollars in diamonds - diamonds that will be around the neck of world-famous actress Daphne Kluger, who will be centerstage at the event of the year, the Met Gala.

The plan is rock solid, but everything will need to be flawless if the team is going to get in and get away with the ice. All in plain sight.

BENEATH HILL 60

Set in 1916, Queensland miner Oliver Woodward, finds himself amongst the mud and carnage of the Western Front, the bloodiest battlefield in history.

It’s the adventure of nine lifetimes! Long before he even met Shrek, the notorious fighter, lover and outlaw Puss in Boots sets out on a heroic adventure teaming up with mastermind Humpty Dumpty and the street-savvy Kitty Softpaws to steal the famed Goose that lays the Golden Eggs in a bid to save his town. This is the true story of The Cat, The Myth, The Legend... The Boots.

Deep beneath the German lines, Woodward and his secret platoon of Australian tunnellers attempt to out-manoeuvre and undermine the German offense by creating a great labyrinth of tunnels. After two years of claustrophobia, bloodshed, triumph and heartbreak, it all comes down to a single moment: a race against time to defend against an explosion of catastrophic proportions that could change the course of War.
