A first time drug mule is caught by law enforcement.
Vanaf 21 juli 2015 op Remain In Light: THE MULE
1983. Wanneer de naïve Ray Jenkins snel geld hoopt te verdienen als drugskoerier gaat alles mis. Betrapt door de politie met een dodelijke hoeveelheid heroïne in zijn lijf, besluit de drugskoerier om het bewijs letterlijk achter te houden. Op de hielen gezeten door de politie, criminelen en bezorgde familieleden wordt hij zo een levende tijdbom in zijn onmogelijke escapade.
'The Mule' is een komische nachtmerrie vol maagomdraaiende spanning, gebaseerd op waargebeurde feiten.
Cast: Hugo Weaving, Angus Sampson, Leigh Whannell

'Strong performances: Noble makes a suitably menacing crime boss, and Morrell and Hazlehurst bring a measure of fierce poignancy to their parental roles"'- Variety
'Directed by Mahony in a lean, no-frills style that’s entirely convincing where it counts' - Variety
'Toilet humor elevated to fiendishly smart art' - The Guardian

Stars:Viacheslav Fetisov, Scotty Bowman, Mark Deakins
Red Army is a feature documentary about the Soviet Union and the most successful dynasty in sports history: the Red Army hockey team. Told from the perspective of its captain Slava Fetisov, the story portrays his transformation from national hero to political enemy. From the USSR to Russia, the film examines how sport mirrors social and cultural movements and parallels the rise and fall of the Red Army team with the Soviet Union
"Red Army" was de naam van het Sovjet hockeyteam dat er tijdens de Koude Oorlog in slaagde om de grote westerse teams te verslaan. De voorbereiding en opleiding van de atleten verliep zeer Spartaans. Het hoofddoel was kampioenen produceren... en hen tegelijkertijd in bedwang te houden. Alleen Slava Fetisov, hun kapitein en een ware nationale held, durfde zich te verzetten tegen het regime.
Deze film dompelt je onder in de geschiedenis van het moderne Rusland.
Cast: Viacheslav Fetisov, Scotty Bowman, Mark Deakins

The Tubes, the San Francisco-based rock band whose 1975 debut album included the controversial rock anthem White Punks on Dope, celebrate their 40th Anniversary when they embark on a 9-date UK tour in August 2015. The tour kicks off at Bristol, The Fleece on August 3, followed Brighton Concorde 2 (August 4), Southampton, The Brook (August 6), London Clapham Grand (August 7), Manchester Club Academy (August 8), Glasgow, The Art School (August 9), Leeds Brudenell Arts Club (August 11), Edinburgh Liquid Rooms (August 12), and Wolverhampton Robin 2 (August 13).
The band's over-the-top theatrical visual live performances are known to millions of rock fans around the world for their combined quasi-pornography with outrageous satires of media, consumerism, and politics, epitomised by lead singer Fee Waybill’s deranged on-stage characters, such as the larger-than-life fictitious platform-booted, drugged out British glam rock star Quay Lewd. In 1977 The Tubes toured the UK, but many of their shows were banned due to British censorship. In February 1978 they released a ground-breaking live album entitled What Do You Want From Live - recorded at London’s Hammersmith Apollo in November 1977, and also made their UK television debut on The Old Grey Whistle Test.
The Tubes are best remembered for their 1983 single She's a Beauty, a top 3 U.S. hit single bolstered by a frequently-played music video in the early days of MTV. The current five-man line-up of The Tubes features four original members - Fee Waybill (lead vocals), Roger Steen (guitar), Rick Anderson (bass) and Prairie Prince (drums), plus David Medd (keyboards), the latter who’s played with the band since 2006. The upcoming tour will see The Tubes perform their classics including What Do You Want From Life?, Mondo Bondage, Sushi Girl, Talk To Ya Later, She’s A Beauty and White Punks On Dope.

With the help of his court-appointed psychiatrist, he pursues his office crush (Gemma Arterton). However, the relationship takes a sudden, murderous turn after she stands him up for a date. Guided by his evil talking cat and benevolent talking dog, Jerry must decide whether to keep striving for normalcy, or indulge in a much more sinister path.

De lieve en knappe Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) heeft een bizarre relatie met zijn kat en hond. Hij deelt het huis met zijn doortrapte kat Mr. Whiskers en trouwe hond Bosco. Terwijl Mr. Whiskers er alles aan doet om Jerry ervan te overtuigen dat hij een seriemoordenaar is, houdt Bosco hem op het rechte pad. Het is pas wanneer hij per ongeluk zijn bloedmooie collega Fiona (Gemma Arterton) vermoordt dat hij besluit om zijn medicatie terug te nemen. En de realiteit blijkt toch niet zo rooskleurig te zijn als hij had gehoopt.
