Cinema release inspirations including The Invention of Lying
Good morning and say hello to your weekend Boxwishers. Got any big plans? Now that we’re feeling the chill of autumn, outdoors shenanigans are being replaced by more cosy fun indoors and as such you might be heading to the cinema. And if so, we’ve got the rundown on all the major new releases coming your way from today. We’ve got small screen comedy hero Ricky Gervais letting loose in The Invention of Lying, sci-fi thrills and spills with Pandorum or don your red and green glasses to see Woody and Buzz Lightyear in all their 3D glory in Toy Story in 3D! Sounds good to us.
Why Not Re-live Gervais’s TV glories such as classic BBC sitcoms The Office and Extras. Check out the truth behind some well-worn phrases with the ‘Truth Translator’ at the movie’s official site. Or learn to tell when people are telling fibs with What Every Body Is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agent’s Guide to Speed-reading People.
If you see… Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster (no, not the footballer) star as two astronauts that awaken from hyper-sleep onboard an empty spacecraft, only to find they can’t remember anything and terrifyingly, that they’re not alone in scary sci-fi thriller Pandorum.
Why Not Enjoy a marathon of other sci-fi films from Pandorum’s producer Jeremy Bolts such as the Resident Evil trilogy, Event Horizon and Soldier. Travel into outer space with official online games such as the scarily titled “Hunters vs. Humans” at the movie site. Or spook yourself with the dark and brooding soundtrack by German film composer Michl Britsch.
If you see… Buzz and the boys return to the big screen in the 3D version of the celebrated Disney•Pixar favourite, Toy Story in 3D.
Why Not Find out how animation guru John Lasseter and his team produced the beloved children’s flick with Toy Story: The Art and Making of the Animated Film. Enjoy the characters in their purest form – as toys – whether your pick is Buzz, Woody or one of the supporting stars like Slinky Dog, Rex and Bulls Eye here. Or sing-along to classics like “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” with the CD, Toy Story Songs.
