What: Fast and Furious 7
When: April 3
Why: Vengeance, explosives, fast cars, crazy stunts, hot men, gorgeous women, solidarity … and of course, family. The Fast and Furious team is back and unsuspecting of a past that’s come to haunt them. After polishing off Owen Shaw (Luke Evans) in the last instalment, the gang is forced to face older brother Deckard Shaw as he attempts to seek revenge for his younger brother’s demise. Just when the crew thinks they can sit back and finally return to a normal life, they're forced to fight using everything they’ve got left. With a star-studded cast such as Vin Diesel, "The Rock," Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez and of course the late and deeply missed Paul Walker, Furious 7 is sure to thrill you to your very core.
What: Desert Dancer
When: April 10
Why: Why are we so attracted to what’s forbidden? Why can’t we just follow rules and be law-abiding citizens? How can something so beautiful be seen as such taboo? These are the notions running through the heads of Ashfin Ghaffarian (Reece Ritchie) and Elaheh (Frieda Pinto) as they struggle to seek solace through dance — all while living in a land drenched in political turmoil and bloodshed. With the help of a few others, they bravely start an underground dance group in order to escape the harsh reality of their close surroundings. Throughout the process, Ashfin and Elaheh not only learn to be at one with their chosen art — they also learn how to embrace and love each other.
What: The Age of Adaline
When: April 24
Why: Ever wonder what it would be like to hold onto your youth forever? To see the people you used to hang out with and have them stare at you, wondering if you’re the same person they once knew, or just a strange coincidence? Adaline Bowman, played by the stunning and elegant Blake Lively, knows this feeling all too well. After miraculously surviving a car crash, Bowman realizes that something strange happened to her that fateful night. Time passes by, but she seems to be in the same skin and the same frame of mind. The parties, the travels, the men and the fashion — they all seem too good to be true. That is, until her immortality becomes a reminder of the inevitable loss of everyone she has ever loved.
What: The Water Diviner
When: April 24
Why: Russell Crowe is one of the finest actors of our time. He’s played the honourable and courageous warrior in Gladiator, Superman’s biological father in Man of Steel, the famous arc buildier Noah and the paranoid schizophrenic genius John Nash in A Beautiful Mind. This is just a handful of Crowe's notable works. Crowe has been astounding audiences for years with his precision and emotional acting — not to mention his undeniable handsomeness. Now he’s back in The Water Diviner, a story about John Connor, a father in a desperate search for his three missing sons who haven’t returned after enlisting to fight in World War I. Connor’s journey takes him to the battlegrounds, where he tries to seek answers from the officers who fought alongside his boys. Each new revelation brings Connor closer to an astonishing discovery that reinforces the power of belief.
