– “A Quiet Place 2”
A sequel to the hit 2018’s suspense thriller which takes moviegoers deeper into a terrifying world when the Abbott family must now face the terrors of the outside as they continue their fight for survival in silence. Forced to venture into the unknown, they quickly realize that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats that lurk beyond the sand path.
With the newly acquired knowledge of the seemingly invulnerable creatures’ weakness, grief-stricken Evelyn Abbott (Emily Blunt-“The Devil Wears Prada”) finds herself on her own, with two young teens, a defenceless newborn son, and with no place to hide. Now, 474 days after the all-out alien attack in the first film, the Abbotts summon up every last ounce of courage to leave their burned farm and embark on a peril-laden quest to find civilization.
With this in mind, determined to expand beyond the boundaries, the resilient survivors have no other choice but to venture into eerily quiet, uncharted hostile territory, hoping for a miracle. But, this time, the enemy is everywhere.
“DUNE” will premiere on Wednesday, November 10, at Screenville Cinemas of Island City Mall and Alturas Mall.
“No Time To Die”
premieres at Screenville
The world’s famous spy has left active service with MI6 and recruited by the CIA to find a kidnapped scientist in the much-awaited 25th James Bond film, “No Time To Die”, which will premiere worldwide on November 17, at Screenville Cinemas of Island City Mall and Alturas Mall.
Bond (Daniel Craig) is retired and enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
The deadly theft of a weaponized virus that can target a specific person’s DNA brings Bond back to the fold. He’s been replaced at MI6 by a new 007 named Nomi and James doesn’t really trust M. He’s convinced M knows more about the new threat.
“NO TIME TO DIE” will premiere worldwide on November 17, at Screenville Cinemas of Island City Mall and Alturas Mall.
