Shelton's uncle Sir Daniel Brackley (George Macready) tells him that all evidence for the slaying points to the culprit being the Sheltons' (now former) family friend Sir John Sedley (Paul Cavanagh).

When a young Tolkien (Harry Gilby) and his brother are orphaned, they're sent to live with a kind, wealthy woman while they complete their education. Tolkien is an artistic soul with a particular talent for language, but his passions are cut short in adulthood when the First World War breaks out. Tolkien (Hoult) and his old schoolfriends all enlist to fight, and the trauma of his experiences at the Battle of the Somme stay with him forever. As do his feelings for Edith Bratt (Collins), a fellow orphan who he meets after his mother's death. Flitting between his formative years at school and his life as a young adult exploring his passions and experiencing the harsh realities of war, Tolkien relays the great inspirations behind some of the most famous works of literature ever written.

In the 1960s, Ferrari are dominating the iconic test of construction and resilience. But the Italian manufacturer is failing financially, and needs a buyout to stay afloat. Enter Lee Iacocca (Jon Bernthal) and Henry Ford II (Tracy Letts), who run Ford. They put together a generous offer to buy Ferrari, but the company's owner Enzo Ferrari instead uses their interest to secure a more lucrative deal elsewhere, deliberately sticking a metaphoric two fingers up at Ford in the process. Henry doesn't take it well. In fact, he's so furious that he decides to embarrass Ferrari by wrestling their Le Mans crown from them. So he orders his company to build a car capable of winning the famous race and signs up Carroll Shelby (Damon), an ex-racing driver and car designer who was the last non-Ferrari driver to win Le Mans, back in 1959. Shelby and his close friend, mercurial driving talent Ken Miles (Bale), set out on a mission to humiliate Ferrari. But the course to victory never does run smooth. Edited for content.

There's nothing that doesn't upset Otto (Hanks). From the way people park their cars to littering and leaving gates open: Otto is prepared to get stuck into anyone not living up to his exacting standards. He even takes exception to a DIY store forcing him to buy six feet of rope when he only needs just over five... to hang himself. Because, you see, Otto's misanthropy has its origins in the death of his wife Sonya (Rachel Keller), who he yearns to join in the whatever-after. Then heavily-pregnant Marisol (Mariana Treviño) and her husband Tommy (Manuel Garcia-Ruflo) move in next door and they just won't let Otto be. Against all the odds, they gradually begin to crack Otto's rankled exterior by constantly asking him for favours and offering him small kindnesses. And before Otto knows it he's gone so soft he even has a cat. But is it enough to stop him from wanting to die? Featuring Hanks's own son Truman as the younger Otto. Directed by Marc Forster. A remake of the 2015 Swedish box-office smash, which itself was based on the book A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman.

Father Gabriel claimed he'd vanquished tens of thousands of demons in his sixty-year career. Russell Crowe plays him as a swashbuckling eccentric and ecclesiastical renegade who bimbles around Rome on a Lambretta and speaks with an accent we'll call 'difficult to place'. Following a controversial incident with a pig, he's dispatched by Pope Franco Nero to a village in Spain to assess the case of a young boy receiving unwelcome attention from the demon Asmodeus. But he ends up in the demon's sights himself and uncovers a dark history reaching back to the days of the Spanish Inquisition. Nobody expects this. Daniel Zovatto co-stars as Father Gabriele's Spanish sidekick Father Thomas Esquibel, and Ralph Ineson is the voice of Asmodeus. Not to be confused with The Exorcism, Crowe's other exorcist film from 2024, but a sequel to this one is also in development. If it isn't called Rock Me Asmodeus they'll be missing a trick.
