In The Dog House
One for the kids this week is this late release from Dream Factory. When you give a dog something to do, you know that no task is too big, especially when it comes to love. When a divorced mum starts dating again, her kids (and their dog) aren’t happy about it. So they start sabotaging the dates.
Will mum find out it was the kids? Will she blame the dog? And more importantly, who’ll end up in the dog house?
Manglehorn
Al Pacino is back with one of his strongest performances in years with Manglehorn. He plays the lead role as AJ Manglehorn, who’s desperately lost in love. Left heartbroken and moping around, he needs to snap out of it.
His son Jacob (Chris Messing) can’t convince him to get out of his rut but can new friend Dawn (Holly Hunter) help? We think she can.
Pacino really shines in this, which is almost a one-man-show. So if you’re a fan of the ‘say hello to my little friend’ legend, then this movie will suit you to a tee this opening Ramadan weekend.

The Homesman
Making its way to the majority of screens this weekend is Tommy Lee Jones’ latest project. It’s his project in that he wrote it, directed it and stars in it. Based on the book of the same name, Jones adapted this into a successful film that’s finally made its was to the UAE.
