August's cinema has something for everyone starting off with two quite different 'Romcoms' - Heartbreaker (French) - the tale of a serial Don Juan who finally meets his match - and Killers (American) where an assassin finds love and finds it hard to give up his day job. The cantankerous green ogre is back for his next instalment in Shrek: Forever After (plus Donkey, Puss-in-boots and Fiona of course!) and the teenage vampires & werewolves are back we in another instalment of the Twilight saga Twilight: Eclipse. To end the month there's the family favourite Toy Story 3, Andy is off to college and taking Woody with him, but what will happen to the other toys? Have fun! |
