May is near and so is a slate of larger-than-life stories waiting to be told. There’s something for every mood or occasion, so sit back, relax and press play!
Headlining this month’s picks is Zack Snyder’s Army Of The Dead, where a zombie outbreak leaves Las Vegas in ruins and walled off from the rest of the world. Scott Ward (Dave Bautista), former zombie hero, is faced with the ultimate proposition by a casino boss: Break into the zombie-infested quarantine zone to retrieve 200 million dollars before the city is nuked by the government. Only one thing’s for certain: survivors take all.
Next up not to miss is Jupiter’s Legacy, based on the American superhero comic book series by Mark Millar. The series follows the first generation of superheroes as they pass their torch to their children, and the subsequent tensions that arise.
Finally, find yourself captivated by Amy Adams in The Woman In The Window, as she takes on the role of an agoraphobic psychologist confined to her home, increasingly obsessed with her new neighbours across the street.
