Based on the Nurse Mathilde books by Christianna Brand, NANNY MCPHEE is a delightful children’s film that tells the enchanting story of a governess who uses magic to rein in the behaviour of seven ne’er do well children in her charge.

Brown and attempts to tame his seven exceedingly ill-behaved children.
The children have managed to drive away 17 previous nannies and are certain they will have no trouble with this one.
But as Nanny McPhee takes control, they begin to notice their vile behaviour leads swiftly and magically to rather startling consequences.
As their behaviour changes, Nanny McPhee's arresting face and frame appear to change as well, creating even more questions about this mysterious stranger whom the children and their father have come to love.

Inside Job (12A)
Starring Matt Damon
In INSIDE JOB - a feature-length documentary about the 2008 global financial collapse - award-winning director Ferguson fixes an accusatory eye on the institutions, academics and federal representatives who were meant to act in the public interest.
He masterfully guides us through the history of finance and the factors that contributed to the economic crisis. The corruption and deception he unearths along the way are heartbreaking. Although his heavyweight polemics influence every pixel, his film oozes credibility through the words of its talking heads.
As well as exclusive footage of global leaders, chief execs of investment banks, financial lobbyists, business school deans and journalists, there are news reports of people who declined to be interviewed and profiles of Obama's current financial consultants - all key players, it transpires, in the 2008 disaster itself.

Howl (15)
Starring James Franco
Inspired by the eponymous poem by '50s Beat Generation icon Allen Ginsberg and from the directors of THE TIMES OF HARVEY MILK, HOWL is a non-linear biopic told, like the poem itself, in three parts. As Ginsberg, James Franco (127 HOURS) gives a committed turn, reenacting his character's debut performance of 'Howl' in 1955 at the Six Gallery Reading in San Francisco and in the second act reliving the birth of the Beat Generation in the '40s and '50s, with Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady and Ginsberg's life partner Peter Orlovsky all accounted for. The third part focuses on the 1957 obscenity trial that centred on the poem's controversial prose. Here Jon Hamm (THE TOWN) and David Strathairn (GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK) lock horns as rival attorneys, giving HOWL an injection of drama and context.

LOOSE CANNONS is a refreshing and light-hearted comedy from one of Italian cinema's brightest filmmakers.
