Jobs
6 September

For modern geeks, Steve Jobs came close to a god. His impact can be seen throughout modern culture, with his death in 2011 for some as tragic as John Lennon’s in 1980. While Ashton Kutcher sure looks the part, is his acting up to portraying Jobs rising from young college drop-out to a modern day Da Vinci? Watch out for the wacky Josh Gad as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.

R.I.P.D.
6 September

If you’ve enjoyed Men in Black, then R.I.P.D. should be straight up your alley. Based on a comic book, the movie follows the Rest In Peace Department, which tracks and disposes of spirits that have not ‘crossed over’ and are still haunting the earth.

The movie does not star John Edward, but rather Ryan Reynolds and our favourite dude, Jeff Bridges, as an old Wild West sheriff that seems to have as much dust on his voice as on his boots.

Welcome to the Punch
20 September

It seems as if Scotsman James McAvoy (X-Men: First Class) is turning into the go-to British bloke for action movies. His latest, Welcome to the Punch, also features our favourite baddie, Mark Strong (Sherlock Holmes), as an ex-criminal returning to London when his son is wounded in a botched robbery. Detective Max Lewinsky (McAvoy) sees this as his last chance to arrest Strong in what soon becomes a do-or-die quest for survival by both parties. 

Behind the Candelabra
27 September

No one can accuse Matt Damon of having a limited range. From the actor that once played World Cup rugby winning Francois Pienaar, comes something slightly more, well, flamboyant, in Behind the Candelabra.

Damon is Scott Thorson, love interest to piano player extraordinaire Liberace, portrayed with all the razzmatazz by an excellent Michael Douglas. Behind the Candelabra might not be for everyone, but should provide some acting gold.
