The King’s Man – 9 February
Yes, this WWI-set spy thriller prequel to Kingsman: The Secret Service was released in cinemas just a few short weeks ago, but if you missed it on the big screen – and chances are, considering the 8pm curfew, you probably did miss it – then you can check it out at home. Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton, Rhys Ifans and more feature.
The Thing About Harry – 11 February
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, this LGBTQ rom-com sees two high school enemies forced to drive together to a friend’s engagement party on Valentine’s Day. Along the way, will they discover they’ve more in common than they realised? Yeah, probably.
The French Dispatch – 16 February
Another very recent big screen release, Wes Anderson’s all-star comedy-drama about a newspaper’s eclectic mix of staff writers and their passions will likely be nominated for a few Oscars once they’ve been announced in the next week or two.
Predator & Predator 2 – 18 February
Arnie headlines this action movie that is actually a scary alien horror movie. The 1990 sequel, fronted by Danny Glover, swaps out the jungle for the sweaty future of Los Angeles in… 1997. It is actually still fun, if not a patch on the original.
