Comedy
Starring: Matt Damon Coco – Out November 22
Animation
Starring: Benjamin Bratt
This comedy-drama from director George Clooney
features two parallel stories that seek to expose the
dark underbelly of life in 1950s suburban America.
In one tale, white businessman Gardner Lodge (Matt
Damon) tries to pull off an insurance scam with
the help of his wife’s identical twin sister (Julianne
Moore). Meanwhile, a black family (Karimah
Westbrook, Leith M. Burke, and Tony Espinosa) who
recently moved in next door to the Lodges are forced
to confront the virulent racism of their community.
Oscar Isaac and Noah Jupe co-star. Written by
Clooney, Grant Heslov, and Joel and Ethan Coen. Despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban
on music, Miguel (voiced by newcomer Anthony
Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished
musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz (voice of
Benjamin Bratt).
Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself
in the stunning and colourful Land of the Dead
following a mysterious chain of events. Along the
way, he meets charming trickster Hector (voice of
Gael Garcia Bernal), and together, they set off on an
extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind
Miguel’s family history.

What starts out as a lavish train ride through
Europe quickly unfolds into one of the most
stylish, suspenseful and thrilling mysteries ever
told. From the novel by best-selling author Agatha
Christie, “Murder on the Orient Express” tells the
tale of thirteen strangers stranded on a train, where
everyone’s a suspect. One man must race against
time to solve the puzzle before the murderer strikes
again. Kenneth Branagh directs and leads an all-star
cast including Penélope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Judi
Dench, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Daisy Ridley
and Josh Gad. In the sequel to the 2015 global smash Daddy’s
Home, father and stepfather, Dusty (Mark Wahlberg)
and Brad (Will Ferrell), have joined forces to provide
their kids with the perfect Christmas. Their newfound
partnership is put to the test when Dusty’s old-school,
macho Dad (played by Mel Gibson) and Brad’s ultra-
affectionate and emotional Dad (John Lithgow) arrive
just in time to throw the holiday into complete chaos.
Directed by Sean Anders, this sequel from
Paramount reunites comedy heavyweights Ferrell and
Wahlberg in a laugh-a-minute movie which matches
the first instalment for entertainment.
