Silver Screen Weekly - What's Coming Up At The Cinema From Friday 21st June

 
Our film critic and media correspondent has been looking and trawling the new releases. Here's what you can see on the big screen this week.


From Friday 21st June

The Bikeriders (15)
This acclaimed drama thriller from writer/director Jeff Nichols (Mud), is inspired by Danny Lyon's 1967 book, and is a rip roaring work of cinema that some critics have compared to the unshakable cool of late '60s and ‘70s filmmaking or the great mob pictures of Martin Scorsese. The Bikeriders, set in the 1960s, follows the rise of the Vandals MC, a motorcycle gang, that has become a family for many of its members, but has also veered into criminality, threatening the original group's way of life. Starring Austin Butler, Tom Hardy and Jodie Comer, this is a movie packed with peak performances and compelling drama.


The Exorcism (15)
Russell Crowe leads this horror thriller about a troubled actor who begins to unravel during a new project. However, are his past demons getting the best of him? Or a literal demon. The Exorcism, is an exorcism movie with a difference, that benefits no end from a committed performance by Crowe and which sees director Joshua John Miller (The Final Girls) undercut the horror and frights with metatextual edge.


Something in the Water (15)
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, here comes another killer shark horror thriller, and this one has real bite. The film sees five girlfriends reunite for a destination wedding, renting a boat on the coast, before being set upon by a bloodthirsty shark. You’ve seen so many of these films before but this one has big screen panache, a thriller that swims fast and furious and a shark picture not to miss on the silver screen.
