Lincoln
(M) Contains violence and offensive language
|

Steven Spielberg's political biopic of the 16th President of the USA, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner. Focusing on the final four months of his life, Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis, winner of the Golden Globe for this performance) clashes with members of his cabinet on the road to abolishing slavery and ending the American Civil War.
Unsatisfied that his Emancipation Proclamation will be enough to safeguard the freedom of slaves after the conclusion of fighting, Lincoln seeks to push a 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution through the House of Representatives that would formally bring slavery to an end. To do so, Lincoln will need to convince members of his own Republican party and win over enough Democrats to pass the vote. The task will require the politician's famed debating and speechmaking skills, but also a dabble in unsavoury methods in the shadows of democracy. Kushner's screenplay is based on Doris Kearns Goodwin's biography Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. The cast also includes Sally Field as Lincoln's wife, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as his son, Tommy Lee Jones as a Congressional leader and Jackie Earle Haley as the secessionists' Vice-President.

Superman: Man of Steel

Superman gets a cinematic reboot in this upcoming film directed by Zack Snyder (Sucker Punch) and "godfathered" by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight). While a sequel to Bryan Singer's Superman Returns (2006) had been announced, several delays and the success of The Dark Knight derailed the plans (which included Brandon Routh returning as Supes) and the project became a "reboot" with a new team. Hinting at a darker ender, screenwriter David S. Goyer says of the film: "We’re approaching Superman as if it weren’t a comic book movie, as if it were real... I adore the Donner films. It just struck me that there was an idealist quality to them that may or may not work with today’s audience."

Epic sci-fi actioner from Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth) centering on a battle for Earth between massive monsters and human-manned robots. Stars Idris Elba and Charlie Day.
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, rose from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: huge, manned robots, called Jaegers. On the verge of defeat, the forces protecting mankind turn to two unlikely heroes - a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) - who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. The pair are the world's last hope against the mounting apocalypse. Del Toro promised at Comic-Con 2011 that the film will feature “the finest f**king monsters ever committed to screen.”
