THE DEATH CURE (M)
APRIL 25
When this final instalment in the dystopian
Maze Runner trilogy finally made it to screens, it was
a relief for many reasons. Production was shut down
abruptly in 2016 when star Dylan O’Brien (pictured
left) was injured on set in a life-threatening accident.
After reportedly falling into the path of a car while
filming a stunt, the movie’s release was pushed back
by almost a year so O’Brien could recover
and return to finish. While the circumstances
were shocking, the release of the sci-fi thriller
was worth it – ending the saga with a bang.

with spirited young boy Miguel
in this moving animated adventure from
Disney Pixar. Despite his family’s baffling

dreams of being a musician and, when

Former Prime Minister Winston Churchill
is having a moment. But despite the
abundance of stories out there focusing
on the resolute British icon, this
drama depicting his defining
era as the newly appointed leader
who guided the UK through early
WWII stands above the rest – much
like Churchill himself. Gary Oldman
(pictured) is transformed in his
Oscar-winning role as the formidable
man who unwaveringly changed
the course of history.

It’s officially the grand finale
for the Barden Bellas. After
winning the World Championships
the disbanded sorority sisters aren’t
doing so well, so they come together
for one last time to participate in
a USO (United Services Organization)
tour. Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson, pictured
left) and the a cappella girls are going
global as they compete with a group
(led by Aussie Ruby Rose) who can
play instruments. This is a fun swan
song that’s full of comedy and music
- with a bit of action thrown in.
