Mindy Kaling makes a comeback starring alongside talented Emma Thompson in the American comedy-drama Late Night.

The film focuses on the differences between the co-stars’ culture and age gap in a humorous way, bringing many unexpected and pleasantly surprising twists and turns to the plot.

Just to quench the perceived public thirst for more skin-tight costumes, punching and quipping, the Marvel Cinematic Universe hits us with another fabulous instalment. It’s been at least 30 minutes since the last Spider-Man film and now our web-shooting hero has found himself embarking on a school trip to Europe. Still mourning the death of his mentor, he’s now tasked with teaming up with Mysterio, the master of trickery and illusion, to battle new existential threats in a world which have fundamentally changed forever. Excelsior!
Child’s Play
Fri 21 June, Cinema
Director Lars Klevberg brings us a fresh reboot of the 1988 slasher film of the same name Child’s Play. Following a similar storyline as the first film, a mother (Aubrey Plaza) gifts her lonely son (Gabriel Bateman) the infamous Chucky toy doll for his birthday. Voiced by Mark Hamill, the doll eventually reveals its wicked nature and evil intentions to the oblivious family. The modern take on this horror classic is sure to refrain the audience from ever buying a doll for their child again!

Netflix sci-fi hit Stranger Things season 3 is due to premiere on the 4th July following its US Independence Day theme. Executive producer and director of the show, Shawn Levy, confirms that “cinematically, it’s our biggest season yet” and that it will definitely be worth the wait. With all of the original cast returning to the Netflix screen, we can expect new and even ‘stranger’ encounters in the town of Hawkings. Not everything is what it seems to be, and the characters will have to face the challenges of growing up and discover new relationships beyond their regular basement set of Dungeons and Dragons.
