THE COURIER - starring Benedict Cumberpatch - ends Thursday
THE COURIER is a true-life spy thriller, the story of an unassuming British businessman Greville Wynne (Benedict Cumberbatch) recruited into one of the greatest international conflicts in history. At the behest of the UK's MI-6 and a CIA operative (Rachel Brosnahan), he forms a covert, dangerous partnership with Soviet officer Oleg Penkovsky (Merab Ninidze) in an effort to provide crucial intelligence needed to prevent a nuclear confrontation and defuse the Cuban Missile Crisis.
"A solid spy drama about ordinary people caught up in Cold War espionage, Dominic Cooke's film is as meat-and-potatoes as its real-life hero." - Hollywood Reporter
"Cumberbatch is absolutely committed to the role, enduring a physical transformation that would impress the likes of Christian Bale." - NY Times
The Battle of the New Century - GODZILLA VS. KONG - Now Rampaging!
Legends collide in "Godzilla vs. Kong" as these mythic adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the globe. The epic clash between the two titans--instigated by unseen forces--is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the Earth.
Stars Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Kyle Chandler, and Lance Reddick. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of creature violence/destruction and brief language.
