Here are some of the Hollywood and Bollywood movies releasing over the next few days, complete with trailers and some details about the films.
Gravity (3D)
Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (Clooney). But on a seemingly routine space walk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalski completely alone-tethered to nothing but each other and spiralling out into the blackness.
The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth...and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left.
But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space

About Time
The movie is the story of a young guy Tim Lake (Domhnall Gleeson) who at the young age of 21, discovers he can time travel. Tim can’t change history, but he can alter that what has happened or will happen in his own life. So he decides to make his world a better place...by getting a girlfriend. Sadly though, that turns out not to be as easy as he might have thought. Moving from Cornwall coast to London to train as a lawyer, Tim finally meets the beautiful but insecure Mary (Rachael McAdams). They fall in love, but then an unfortunate time-travel incident means he’s never met her at all. So Tim meets Mary for the first time again and again and again with a lot of clever time-travelling, in order to win her heart.
Cast - Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy, Tom Hollander, Margot Robbie
Director - Richard Curtis
Verdict - The film is very different from Richard Cutis' last movie, but does do a better job. The cast is brilliant and the Domhnall Gleeson as the lead is charming and engaging. Even thought the movie is about time travel, it's done in a very different way. The movie as a whole is a fun ride, and definitely worth a watch.
