The Trench tells the story of a group of young British soldiers on the eve of the Battle of the Somme in the summer of 1916, the worst defeat in British military history. Against this ill-fated backdrop, the movie depicts the soldiers' experience as a mixture of boredom, fear, panic, and restlessness, confined to a trench on the front lines.

Hoodwink poster
4.9

Hoodwink is based on the true story of an Australian con artist who briefly won the hearts of the media (if not the authorities). John Hargreaves stars as a criminal serving time in a New South Wales prison. He's not partial to the physical labor required of the convicts, so he hits upon a labor-saving plan. Hargreaves pretends to be totally blind, thus lightening his work load....and carries off the hoax for years.

The Incredible Will & Greg is a concentrated burst of comedy starring comedy duo Will Andrews and Greg McHugh. The purposeful Pointy Man shows how to attract the object of your desires using only the power of the point, whilst the heroic Dr Frank cures a woman who hasn't spoken for three years whilst staging a three act play about a hippie with a lisp. The loveable Tony Carter has the driving lesson from hell and the infamous Spanish Man With A Cup gets involved in a hostage negotiation. The Incredible Will & Greg also sees the return of Gary Tank Commander.
