Two new movies come to South African cinemas this week, in addition to Indian action thriller Jawan, and a special 4K IMAX return for Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense, in celebration of its 40th anniversary. Here’s what you can look forward to on the big screen.
Writer-star Nia Vardalos also assumes directing duties for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, the third film in the culture clash romantic comedy series. This time, the Portokalos family, including aunts and cousins, head to a family reunion in Greece. The journey begins when patriarch Gus passes, and insists his kin visit his home village. Pretty much the whole gang is back for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, including John Corbett, Louis Mandylor, Elena Kampouris, Gia Carides, Joey Fatone, and Lainie Kazan, and Andrea Martin.
We’re out of August, which means it’s Halloween season. There will be more horror films than usual releasing over the next two months, but one of the most high profile is definitely The Nun II, the follow-up to the most financially successful entry in the onscreen Conjuring Universe. Taissa Farmiga returns as Sister Irene to once more face the demon Valak (AKA the Nun, played by Bonnie Aarons), who surfaces at a boarding school in France during 1956.
