30 32 After Hours S W E I REV MOVIES PREDICTABLE PLOT Keeping Up with the Joneses Cast: Zach Galifianakis, Isla Fisher and Jon Hamm Genre: Comedy, Action Director: Greg Mottola In theatres: 20 October 2016 With elements of fun, romance and international espionage, this plot has more bends than a snake’s back, although overall it is pretty predictable. Set in an ordinary suburban cul-de-sac, this film has a fairly typical ‘there’s something suspicious about the new neighbours… wonder what they’re hiding?’ set up. Even so, the lead characters suit their roles as the relatable and curious couple/ sleek undercover spies who aren’t great at blending in perfectly, and with a couple of unexpected surprises along the way, this film provides the audience with some good laughs. – EMMA R OVERKILL DAY CLEVER, COOL CRIME Independence Day: Resurgence Ocean's Eleven Cast: Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman Genre: Action, Sci-Fi Director: Roland Emmerich Released: 24 June 2016 There’s a reason why sometimes it’s best to leave the past in the past. Sequel to the original 1996 movie, Independence Day: Resurgence is sadly a case of different movie but same same. Bigger ships, more explosions and same loose storyline equals an average movie. – CHELS http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1628841/ Cast: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts Genre: Crime, Thriller Director: Steven Soderbergh Released: 7 December 2001 When it comes to diversity in movies, nothing beats an ensemble cast. One of the best examples of this in recent times was the 2001 remake of Ocean’s Eleven. Drawing on a who’s who of Hollywood star power at the time, the witty, fastpaced adventure sees a group of con artists come together in an attempt to pull off the greatest heist ever. If you haven’t seen this one yet, be sure to check it out!. – TONY http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0240772/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
