It's a real mixed bag here, noticeably we see the long running Resident Evil making its final entry for the big screen, whilst the the Underworld franchise seems to be gearing up for a lot more episodes with their newest saga: Bloodlines. Will Smith's new film looks like a clever take on the themes in A Christmas Carol and the high concepts of Passengers and Get Out have me completely intrigued. As for Officer Downe...what can one really say?

Trailer Watch - Past, Present & Coming Soon (2016)

12/5/2016

You know the score, plan your films and visits to the cinema galore!

BATTLEDREAM CHRONICLE (2016)

Following a worldwide war, a new type of international slavery is born, where the plantation, this time is a video game. In order for slaves to remain alive, slave-players must collect a certain amount of points, per month to live. The rule is play or die, win or die...but behold, a revolution is coming! Release Date: May 2016.

NEVER BACK DOWN 3: NO SURRENDER (2016)

Michael Jai White is back, both as the character Case Walker and the films director. Showing us that he can do it all with equal skill, MJW acts, fights, directs and brings the pain with style and panache, this time around, focusing on his character. Expect some veteran, martial artistry mayhem! US Release date: 7th June (2016)

LIGHTS OUT (2016)

The unseen has always been where scary lived, so Lights Out seeks to wholly capitalise on one of the world's most scariest dimensions of the normal - the dark. James Wan of the Insidious and The Conjuring franchises serves as producer, so you know exactly what type of shocks are in store. US Release Date: 22nd June (2016)

PARALLELS (2015)

In this high concept Sci-fi story, a group of unsuspecting people are lured to and into a building...that jumps universes. Headed for an alternate Earth adventure, time, space and what you think you know about dimensions will be challenged. Available to rent, buy or stream from Amazon.

BLOOD FATHER (2016)

Mel Gibson's fall from grace has not seen him completely out of the movie world. Though I imagine he has to suffer distribution woes from his lack of star power. Playing a father-bear, that you really shouldn't poke to provoke, Mel is out to protect his daughter from drug dealers, ink some bodies as well as smash a few in the process. US Release Date: 26th August (2016)

LET US PREY (2014)

I can't remember how I bumped into this gem of a film, but what a find! It has moments that remind me of a less theatrical version of The Crow and director Brian O'Malley is definitely one to watch. A lone avenger has come looking for some unruly people, that have condemning secrets...he's come to play judge, jury and executioner. Available to rent, buy or stream.

THE CONJURING 2 (2016)

Those paranormal detectives are back and they are about to face a very malevolent entity. This time James Wan directs and contributes to scribing duties. Since Insidious 4 is a long way away, get your supernatural, sinister story scares from this for now. UK Release Date: June 17th (2016)

QUEEN OF KATWE (2016)

An introduction to the game of chess, changes the life of 10 year old, corn seller Phiona Mutesi forever. A true story of heart warming sentiment, Queen of Katwe is a story of heart, perseverance and the importance of family and community. Release Date: 23rd September (2016)

PAN-AFRICAN-CARIBBEAN CINEMA RELEASES & EVENTS

For films of the African-Caribbean diaspora that don't often get picked up by international distributors or have lengthy pan-UK releases, there are organisations that hold multiple screenings of such hard-to-see films. One such organisation is Black History Walks, who recently played both Dear White People and Nzinga - Queen of Angola this year. Below, is a timetable of upcoming events and screenings, including Battledream Chronicle's viewing. Click on the timetable to go directly to their Facebook page.

RACE (2016)

A biopic on the athletics legend Jesse Owens finally gets his due. Winner of 4 gold Olympic medals, Jesse Owens single handedly destroyed the Nazi Aryan myth about the 'master' race. Release Dates: USA & Canada February 16th, Germany May 5th, UK See Timetable Above!

ASSASSIN'S CREED (2016)

In 2007, a computer game called, Assassin's Creed was released by Ubisoft. 9 years later it is one of the biggest gaming franchises to date. Consequently, it was only a matter of time before the obvious cinematic elements that so easily lent themselves to being a film, became one - here it is. Expect sequels galore just like the game. Release Date: September 2016

SWISS ARMY MAN (2016)

A marooned man, who has given up on survival, comes across a dead body that reinvigorates his own will to survive. Using the body for all manner of survival (hence the title) we are taken on one crazy adventure. If you thought Radcliffe was radical in Horns, he just went one step further into Bat s**t crazy territory in this here production - good on him. US Release Date: June 24th (2016)

Films - The Ones You Might Have Missed In 2014 & 2015

25/3/2016

With the amount of films and TV shows coming out per year, it's understandable why a few good films can pass you by. Here are few good ones to go back and have a look at.

STRETCH

Somewhere between After Hours, The Transporter and Get Him To The Greek, this movie was an unexpected surprise. Funny, sharp and eventful, Stretch lends itself to being very rewatched...a lot.

FINAL GIRL

A malevolent brotherhood is about to meet its match, in a form that they won't see as 'danger'. This neat little film is a testament to what small budget cinema can achieve with good ideas, skill and perfect execution.

HOW TO SEDUCE DIFFICULT WOMEN

Deliberately misleading this film is not what you think it is and it's much appreciated! Without giving anything away, the final summation is quite profound as we discover that it is not women that are difficult, but relationships that are dynamic and complicated.

BEYOND THE LIGHTS

Similar to The Bodyguard but without the schmaltz, BTL is very much a tale from the heart and speaks on the price of fame, as well as the desperation that can drive us to attain its status in the first place.

BELLE

A tale of class, society and race is spun where questions of identity are put under a microscope. This delve into high society, shows us, just how ridiculous and confusing caste systems are. Elegantly told, Belle still has punches you won't see coming.

THE FINAL GIRLS

This genre defying, ode to cliche will make you enjoy ridiculing all the norms of the horror movie. A film inside a film, this gentle warp of reality sets up a great premise where even when you know what's coming...it doesn't always play out that way.

DEADLY VIRTUES: LOVE, HONOUR & OBEY

Another film that takes you in one direction and then deviates elsewhere, Deadly Virtues: Love Honour & Obey has an interesting message about living with the enemy. You will feel influences from other psychological dramas, but this one definitely has its own voice and tone.

DOPE

I prayed that this film wouldn't be a series of cliches and it was 75% pleasing. Part of its structure and astuteness is that you need you to understand what the hood cliche is, but the overall message and engaging leads still makes this worth a watch.

RETURN TO SENDER

95% Of this film is shot via the screen of computers and just like you can't escape your own social media addiction, this format will not deter you in anyway. Made for $1million it grossed $64million at the box office and is engaging from start to finish. The acting is very natural and for anyone who uses social media, the appeal broadens because it could be you in their positions...it could be you facing some...non-plot spoiling reviewer - gotcha!
