What’s new at the movies

It’s time to put pedal to the metal at Nu Metro cinemas in Pretoria this weekend, including Mams Mall in Mamelodi.

The Bad Boys, Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence), return to their roots in a highly-anticipated new action attraction: criss-crossing sea, land and air for an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride of note. Go large and experience Bad Boys For Life in the larger-than-life Xtreme or multi-sensory 4DX cinemas at Nu Metro Menlyn Park.

Bombshell, the award-winning, Oscar-nominated film about the Fox News scandal, starts showing in Nu Metro’s luxurious “in-cinema dining” VIP cinemas at Parkview and Menlyn.

Or, take the kids for Arctic Justice – the new animated adventure for families to enjoy on the Big Screen at Nu Metro Woodlands.

Girls’ Night Out

Ladies, the world of beauty is about to get ugly… Get ready to kick-start 2020 like a boss with Girls’ Night Out at Nu Metro Menlyn Park and Woodlands next Thursday, 30 January. Bookings are now open for a special pre-release screening of the hilarious new comedy Like A Boss – starring Tiffany Haddish, Rose Byrne, Jennifer Coolidge and Salma Hayek. See it first at the first GNO for 2020!

Bad Boys For Life (16 LSV)

Showing at all Nu Metro cinemas

Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett are back together for one last ride. Marcus is now a police inspector and Mike is in a midlife crisis. They unite again when an Albanian mercenary, whose brother they killed, promises them an important bonus.

Bombshell (16 LPSV)

Showing at Nu Metro Parkview & Menlyn Park

Starring South Africa’s very own Charlize Theron (nominated for the “Best Actress” Academy Award) alongside Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie, the sensational film is based on the real-life chain of events of the Fox News scandal, which saw multiple women accuse former Fox News CEO and chairman Roger Ailes of sexual harassment. “One of the most compelling stories of the #MeToo movement is told unflinchingly, empathetically and authentically, with Charlize Theron completely nailing the knotty character of Megyn Kelly,” says Empire magazine.

Arctic Justice (PG V)

Showing at Nu Metro Woodlands & Menlyn Park

A ragtag group of Arctic misfits has to band together to stop Von Walrus’ sinister plans and save the day in this new animated adventure. Jeremy Renner, Heidi Klum, James Franco, John Cleese, Anjelica Huston and Alec Baldwin are just some of the big names who lend their voices to this story about a fox trying to prove himself for a small job, but ends up having to save the world!
