Foxtel Magazine – August 2019

(Martin Jones) #1

AUGUST 28


Rocketman is the biopic Elton John


deserves – a touching musical


extravaganza that weaves some of


his most famous tunes, including Your


Song and Tiny Dancer, into the story


of his rise to fame. Taron Egerton (the


Kingsman films), who does all his own


singing, excels as the music icon, with


John’s glittery costumes and trademark


kooky sunglasses fitting him like a glove.


Co-starring Bryce Dallas Howard


(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom)


as John’s mother, Richard Madden


(Game of Thrones) as his manager


and lover John Reid, and Jamie Bell


as songwriting partner Bernie Taupin,


it’s an entertaining singalong delight.


TOP END


WEDDING (M)


AUGUST 14


Lauren (Miranda Tapsell) and


Ned (Gwilym Lee, both pictured)


are getting married, but first they


need to find Lauren’s mother


(Ursula Yovich), who has gone


AWOL in the Northern Territory


outback. Delightful viewing.


LONG SHOT (M)


AUGUST 14


When smart, sophisticated


politician Charlotte (Charlize


Theron) hires eccentric journalist


Fred (Seth Rogen) to be her


speechwriter on a presidential


campaign, a high-school crush


is reignited. A raunchy, reliably


hilarious rom-com.


THE CURSE OF THE


WEEPING WOMAN (M)


AUGUST 7


Linda Cardellini (pictured with


Roman Christou) plays Anna, who,


with her two children, is drawn


into a terrifying realm and stalked


by La Llorona (Marisol Ramirez)



  • a ghostly weeping woman


from an old Mexican folktale.


POKÉMON


DETECTIVE


PIKACHU (PG)


AUGUST 7


The first-ever live-action Pokémon


movie, this fun family offering delights


at every turn. Ryan Reynolds voices


wisecracking Detective Pikachu,


whose former partner on the force,


Harry (also voiced by Reynolds),


has mysteriously disappeared.


Teaming up with Harry’s son Tim


(Justice Smith), he sets out on


a hair-raising adventure to uncover


the truth. This lively collision of the


human and Pokémon worlds features


impressive CGI and ace performances


from Reynolds and Smith, not


to mention Kathryn Newton


(Big Little Lies) and Brit


stalwart Bill Nighy.
