NEW CINEMA RELEASES

“Here’s our highlights from the film releases in Amsterdam this month.”

FROM 6 MARCH
Captain Marvel | SUPERHERO ACTION FANTASY | Dir: Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck | with Brie Larson, Ben Mendelsohn | Carol Danvers becomes the hero the universe needs as Earth becomes the battleground between two warring alien races.

FROM 21 MARCH
Us | HORROR | Dir-Scr: Jordan Peele (Get Out) | with Lupita Nyong’o, Elisabeth Moss | A family’s trip to their beach house “turns to chaos when a group of doppelgängers begin to terrorize them.” Too scary for @Cathycentral but horror buff @DavidSwatling is well up for it!

FROM 27 MARCH 
Dumbo | LIVE ACTION REMAKE | Dir: Tim Burton | with Eva Green, Michael Keaton, Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito | A young circus elephant is mocked for his big ears, until people find out they enable him to fly. His talent leads Dumbo, and the family who care for him, away from the struggling circus to the sparkling Dreamland, where all is not what it seems. (With music by Arcade Fire.)

FROM 28 MARCH 
Thunder Road | DRAMA COMEDY | Dir-Scr: Jim Cummings | with Jim Cummings, Kendal Farr | A divorced police officer who loses his mother has a personal crisis and but finds new meaning in raising his daughter. Can’t make it to the cinema? Make time for the 2-minute trailer, powerful enough all by itself.
