A wooden puppet becomes a real child, A carpenter is prepared to believe this... They embark upon a journey to become father and son... This is the definitive adaptation of a masterpiece about a boy who learns how to be a son and a man who learns how to be a father. Set amongst the beautiful vistas of 19th Century Tuscany, Pinocchio is the tale of a young boy brought into the world by magic and utterly unprepared for what his new life has to throw at him. On this voyage of self-discovery Pinocchio (Robbie Kay, Hannibal Rising) invites danger at every turn, much to the heartbreak of the father who created him from wood, Geppetto (Oscar winner Bob Hoskins, Who Framed Roger Rabbit). Pinocchio's misadventures find him hunted by assassins, whisked away to the temptations of the Land of Toys, transformed into a donkey, placed centre stage at a traveling circus and swallowed by a giant shark. Plagued by shame, regret and the ever-present possibility of further corruption, Pinocchio's only chance of redemption and happiness is to find his way back to Geppetto.

On a journey that will change their lives forever, the passengers aboard Flight 42 are forced to fight in one of the greatest battles in history, World War Two. Trouble is, this is one struggle they could have never predicted having taken off in 2015. After reaching cruising altitude, warning signals are alerted on the Boeing 757's control system, the pilot is faced with an unidentifiable storm, one completely unrecognisable from anything seen before. As the plane is pulled closer to the cosmic void at the heart of the storm, they have no choice but to enter - inevitably risking certain death. With tensions rising and panic ensuing, they find themselves transported back in time to 1940, right in the middle of an aggressive air-raid attack between Allied and German forces. Faced with bombs and bullets, they have to make it back to the present day, but will they manage without indefinitely altering the course of history? Starring Robbie Kay (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Strangers Tides, Once Upon a Time) and Faran Tehir (Star Trek, Iron Man) Flight 1942 is a nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat thriller, guaranteed to stay with you long after viewing
You'll finding yourself rooting for this movie to take off in a sustained flight of comic inspiration, but it seldom does. It's too bad that it doesn't, given the casting, because both leads (Eric Idle and Robbie Coltrane) are capable of extreme funniness. Idle and Coltrane play a couple of low-level crooks who decide to get a piece of the action for themselves and abscond with the loot from a big score. But they're discovered before they can getaway and their only avenue of egress is into a convent. So they don habits and hide out by pretending to be nuns, teaching parochial school to budding young girls. Now think about the possibilities in that premise and anything you can think of is in the film (though Coltrane remains one of the funniest men alive). --Marshall Fine
