The Witches
Available from Friday 5 March in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert PG
This magical modern adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s novel boasts a sparkling all-star cast. While staying with his grandmother (Octavia Spencer) at a hotel in 1960s Alabama, a young boy (newcomer Jahzir Kadeem Bruno) discovers a conference of fiendish witches led by the despicable Grand High Witch (Anne Hathaway). After being transformed into a mouse, our hero must team up with the other children in the hotel if he’s to have any hope of defeating them.
SAS: Red Notice
Available from Friday 12 March in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15
Based on the novel by former SAS operator Andy McNab, this action thriller stars Outlander actor Sam Heughan as Tom Buckingham, a suspended special forces operator. He intends to propose to Dr Sophie Hart (Hannah John-Kamen, Game Of Thrones) in Paris, but his plans are scuppered en route when a team of heavily armed mercenaries seize control of the train they’re on. With a hostage situation quickly building, Tom must act before mercenary leader Grace Lewis (Ruby Rose, Orange Is The New Black) fulfils her objective.
Finding The Way Back
Available from Friday 19 March in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert PG
Jack Cunningham (Ben Affleck) was a high school basketball star, but he quit before reaching his full potential. He’s now an ironworker struggling with alcoholism, but his life turns around when he’s recruited as the head coach of the basketball team at his old high school. They’ve only won one game and haven't made it to the play-offs since Jack was a student, but is it too late for Jack to relive the glory days?
Six Minutes To Midnight
Available from Friday 26 March in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 12
In August 1939, an English teacher disappears. He was working at a finishing school for girls on the south coast of England, attended by 20 German teens. Thomas Miller (Eddie Izzard, who also lent a hand in the screenplay) fills the position and is informed that his students are the daughters of high-ranking Nazis. Judi Dench plays headmistress Miss Rocholl, and James D’Arcy, Carla Juri, Jim Broadbent, David Schofield and Celyn Jones also star.
