New Film Releases: February 8-14 2019

The blockbusters return with a vengeance this week with Alita: Battle Angel and The Lego Movie 2, both in 3D and bog-standard old 2D. That doesn’t mean the end of the awards season releases, mind. This week brings Barry Jenkins’ follow-up to Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk, plus All Is True (go here for our review) and Boy Erased (go here for our review). There are also previews of horror sequel Happy Death Day 2 U on Weds and Thurs and Instant Family on Thurs.

Cinemas are attempting to coax lovebirds with a whole bunch of one-off Valentine’s Day screenings. If you don’t fancy seeing anything with Julia bloody Roberts in, the Watershed has a splendid alternative in the form of a preview of Border.

Oh, and if you need a larf, don’t forget that Slapstick’s delayed gala takes place at the Hippodrome on Sunday. There were still a few tickets left last time we checked.
