The Kids Are All Right
Check out the clip above from The Kids Are All Right, which is in cinemas now. It's one of most endearing and genuine portraits of a contemporary family, with pitch-perfect performances from a superb cast, that includes Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo and Australia's Mia Wasikowska (best known as Alice in Alice in Wonderland.)
The Kids Are All Right is a Hopscotch favourite, ever since we first saw it back in January. It has now had a very successful American release, where it continues to screen far and wide and elicits quotes from critics like: "Funny, smart and sexy! This pitch-perfect movie charms audiences into a state of enlightenment." (It was Entertainment Weekly who said that.)
The film is now cinemas around Australia - to be precise in the following cities: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin, Gold Coast, Maroochydore, Cairns, Geelong, Newcastle, Fremantle and the Mornington Peninsula. So get to it!

Skyline
We are very excited to announce a new film we'll be releasing November 11 - and it's M.A.S.S.I.V.E. It's called Skyline, and is an end of the world sci-fi thriller by the Brothers Strause. The film takes place in a Los Angeles high-rise where a small group of survivors brave a mysterious attack of otherworldy origins. After a night of partying, friends wake to an apocalyptic event that transpires right outside the window of the condominium. Skyline is one of the most sophisticated effects-driven independent projects, with the Brothers Strause's Santa Monica-based effects house having created visuals for Avatar and Iron Man 2.

Centurion
Neil Marshall's butt-kicking new movie Centurion is here, and for fans of 300 it's not to be missed. From the Brit director that created a whole new level of fright with The Descent, Marshall has now turned his talents to the world of the Roman Empire and their attempt to take over Northern Britain, circa 117 AD. It's guerrilla tactics, sword fights, ambushes, suits of metal armour, a race of survival and one nasty chick warrior out for revenge - played by James Bond's Olga Kurylenko. As you'd expect from Marshall, it's an action-packed epic, viscerally shot and featuring two great lead characters in Roman soldier Quintus (Inglourious Basterds' Michael Fassbender) and his General, played by Dominic West, who will always be TV's The Wire's McNulty to so many of us.
Centurion is still in cinemas accross Australia, and is coming to New Zealand on September 9.
The extraordinary Serge
Gainsbourg
The remarkable life of charismatic French singer, songwriter, poet and artist Serge Gainsbourg is coming to Australian cinemas on October 28th. Gainsbourg is a bold imagining of the precocious talent whose music, style and joie de vivre is adored by many. Actor Eric Elmosnino embodies Gainsbourg perfectly, as lover, composer, performer, father and rebel.
The film features special effects from the makers of Pan's Labyrinth, creating playful visual touches to this stylishly directed bipoic. And for true Gainsbourg fans, it boasts a superb musical soundtrack from the pop genius of "Je T'aime... Moi Non Plus" to "Love on the Beat."

From the director of Amelie
Micmacs
Now out on DVD and Blu-ray is the Jean-Pierre Jeunet-directed Micmacs starring Dany Boon (Welcome to the Sticks). In true Jeunet style, it's a dazzling tale that combines an ingenious plot, colourful characters and loads of imagination.

Soon Bazil is adopted by a colourful band of misfits who reside in an elaborate cave in a junkyard. Each with their own unique talent, they become Bazil's key to finding the people responsible for his accident. And Bazil has his own unique kind of revenge in mind...
