Action Iron Man (12A) is being screened at the Reel Cinema for another week from today.
This is Paramount Pictures and Marvel studios' big screen adaptation of Marvel's legendary super hero.
Oscar nominee Robert Downey Jr stars as Tony Stark/Iron Man in the story of a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon.
Instead, using his intelligence and ingenuity, Tony builds a high-tech suit of armour and escapes captivity.
When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armour and vows to protect the world as Iron Man.
Leatherheads (PG) is also showing at the Reel for a week.
Long before the days of jumbotrons, Astroturf and cheerleaders, multimillion-dollar paychecks and staggering endorsements, some men played football only for the love of the game. They were rough and crass. They were foul-mouthed and hardheaded. They were Leatherheads.
George Clooney is Dodge Connolly, a charming, brash football hero who knows that this burgeoning sport is currently attracting, at best, a smattering of loud, drunk fans who can't conceive of paying top dollar to attend an event. His games are free-for-alls that devolve into fisticuffs, and the situation is quickly deteriorating. But the captain is determined that it's possible to guide his team and league from bar brawls to packed stadiums.
After the players lose their sponsor and the entire league faces collapse, Dodge convinces agent CC Frazier to secure his rising college football star, Carter "The Bullet" Rutherford - who is filling stadiums with every game - for his ragtag ranks. Dodge hopes his latest move will help the struggling sport finally capture the country's attention.
A golden-boy war hero who mythically (and single-handedly) forced multiple German soldiers to surrender in WWI, Carter has dashing good looks and unparalleled speed on the field. This new champ is almost too good to be true, and Lexie Littleton (Renee Zellweger) aims to prove that's the case.
A cub journalist sent by her editor to play in the big leagues, spitfire newswoman Lexie suspects there are holes in Carter's war story. But as she digs, rookie Carter and veteran Dodge start to become off-field rivals for her fickle affections.
As the new game of pro football becomes less like the freewheeling sport he knew and loved, Dodge must fight both to keep his guys together and to get the girl of his dreams. Finding that love and football have a surprisingly similar playbook, he has one maneuver he will save just for the fourth quarter…
