NEW IN CINEMAS THIS WEEK

Backtrack Boys– Aussie doco about rebellious young blokes who avoid jail by befriending a jackaroo and his dog-jumping team.


Book Week– I endured 20 minutes of this new Aussie comedy about a bitter, jaded, middle-aged high school teacher/wannabe novelist, who is also, of course, a babe magnet.

Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda– doco about the Japanese composer of the title.

An Interview With God– Journalist Brendon Thwaites interviews a man who claims to be (the Christian concept of) God (David Strathairn)

Beautiful Boy– A family copes with the son’s addiction.

Ghost Stories– 3 spooky events investigated by a sceptical British professor (Andy Nyman).

Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween– two youngsters accidentally bring a ventriloquist’s dummy to life, and it becomes Tony Abbott’s best friend.

Five Weddings– Romantic comedy-drama. An American journalist investigates the cultural mosaic of Bollywood weddings.


STILL IN CINEMAS: 
Bad Times at the El Royale– talky pattern play. The secrets of some stereotypes are revealed in the first 20 minutes, followed by 2 hours of tedium.

PROBABLY NOT IN A CINEMA NEAR YOU, BUT WORTH TRACKING DOWN: 
That’s Not Me (2017) A delightful Aussie comedy about sibling rivalry, starring and co-written by Alice Foulcher.
