5th August
Father Of The Bride (2022)
Don’t expect to see Steve Martin in this third movie adaptation of the classic 1949 novel as this is a new take on the story about a man coming to terms with his daughter’s upcoming nuptials. Andy Garcia is the father of the title trying to maintain his own marriage while helping his daughter arrange hers and while it isn’t quite as good as the movies that came before, it can still be applauded for its Latino representation.
6th August

Michelle Monaghan, Jai Courtney, and Jason Clarke star in this new thriller about a group of agents at a black site compound whose lives are put in peril when a dangerous inmate called Hatchet escapes the facility and starts hunting down the people who imprisoned him. The film has been compared to the action thrillers that Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger used to make, so if you’re a fan of their films, you might get a kick out of this one.
13th August

In post-civil war Kansas, a doctor is summoned to a small town in the Ozarks by his uncle, but on his arrival, he soon discovers the seemingly utopian paradise he has travelled to is surrounded by a menacing, supernatural presence.

15th August
Day Of The Dead: Season 1
The Walking Dead is almost over but fear not, as the SyFy Channel is debuting the latest series to feature the undead. As you may have guessed, this is (loosely) based on George A Romero’s movie of the same name and follows the lives of several people as they try to survive the first 24 hours of a zombie invasion. Unfortunately, this won’t go down in history as one of the best zombie series ever made as the reviews for this have largely been negative.
19th August
Jackass Forever (2021)
After 11 years, the Jackass crew are back and they are still taking pleasure from inflicting great amounts of pain on one another. Expect bee stings, bear attacks, spider bites, and paintball shots to the crotch in this incredibly stupid but somehow still entertaining comedy extravaganza.
21st August
A Journal For Jordan (2021)
Denzel Washington directs this emotional drama about 1st Sgt. Charles Monroe King (Michael B. Jordan) who authors a journal for his infant son that is filled with life advice for the boy’s future. When King is killed in action, the journal is passed to his son by his wife Dana, who reflects on her relationship with Charles while trying to raise their child. This sentimental drama wasn’t a big hit with critics but it contains enough lump-in-the-throat moments to please anybody looking for a tear-jerker.
22nd August
House Of The Dragon: Season 1
This prequel to Game of Thrones is set 200 years before the fall of the Iron Throne and chronicles the descent of the House Targaryen into a civil war that became known as the ‘Dance Of The Dragons.’ Matt Smith, Paddy Considine, and Olivia Cooke are among the cast of this 10-episode series that has already been given the green light for a second season.
26th August
Sing 2 (2021)
Buster Moon has his eye on big things in this sequel to the entertaining original as he wants to take his latest show to the glamorous Redshore City and become the most successful koala in showbiz. There’s only one problem: a talent scout isn’t convinced Buster has what it takes to hit the big time. The story takes a backseat to the musical performances of the talented voice cast who sing their hearts out in this enjoyable but formulaic tale.
28th August
Jockey (2021)
An ageing jockey prepares himself for one last race but his life is made complicated when a talented young rookie rider arrives on the scene claiming to be his son. Clifton Collins Jr. and Moises Arias star as the horse racing pro and the aspiring up-and-comer in this critically acclaimed movie.
