Coming Soon – New Movies at Star Cinema for Next Month
A. Blakewater – November 4th
Horror meets sci-fi! Fans of both genres will be delighted by this intelligent and unique creation – is this really the fate of generations to come? The believable and enthralling plot is enhanced by excellent special effects and tremendous acting. Almost certainly a contender for nomination for a number of awards this year.
B. The Adventures of Genie – November 7th
This animated adventure is the sequel to last summer’s hit A Canine Tale. The story continues to follow the travels of Genie the spaniel and the other creatures he meets on his journey. Excellent graphics and lots of laughs for all members of the family. A variety of stars provide voices for their animal characters.

C. Between Two Points – November 10th
James Burgen’s real-life account of his journey across Antarctica reaches the cinema. This documentary-style motion picture is an education in itself and highlights the importance of environmental protection.
D. The Strangest Summer – November 14th
Tim Brown and Jennifer Nelson once again team up in the roles of a couple destined for romance. Set in the 1960s, the film gives us a light-hearted and nostalgic trip back in time. An excellent supporting cast and sound-track will no doubt make this one of the month’s more popular offerings.
IELTS General Reading Test
E. Tina and Bree – November 14th
Following the story of two first year university students leaving their home town for the first time and settling into life on the university campus.
Many genuinely funny moments that will bring back fond memories of university days.
F. Unimaginable – November 15th
Set in a different universe, this fantasy film – although having some great special effects – doesn’t bring anything new to the cinema screen that has not already been presented in several other films of this genre. For true fantasy movie fanatics only!

G. Family Planet – November 21st
