Ever determined to get his mark, even if they drive more powerful cars than his own customised Audi A4, Chan Cheung works on his own vehicle through the night ever fine-tuning his engine to give him that all-important extra edge. But he soon meets his match in Jiang Xin, a crack escape driver with a penchant to rev up a literal smokescreen, and then manoeuvring an extreme drift technique to rotate the car while stationery.

"A funny, sentimental, deeply moving celebration of the experience of movies and movie-going" Philip French, The Observer "Bathe in the graceful, moving simplicity of one of cinema's great love songs to cinema" ***** Empire Magazine Many filmmakers have successfully translated their first, uniquely personal experiences of the wonder of cinema on to the screen but perhaps none with so much warmth and romantic affection as Writer/Director Giuseppe Tornatore with Cinema Paradiso. From its original release in 1988, Cinema Paradiso went on to transcend its arthouse/foreign language limitations and charmed mainstream audiences the world over, winning many awards along the way. Now, on December 13th 2013, Arrow Films is releasing a 25th Anniversary Edition of this very special film at cinemas across the UK - an opportunity to share the experience of loving movies with someone you love this Christmas. Set, and filmed, in Tornatore's hometown in Sicily, Cinema Paradiso is a generation-spanning story of friendship, love and filmmaking. Salvatore [Jacques Perrin], now a successful film director, returns home for the funeral of Alfredo [Philippe Noiret], his old friend and mentor who was projectionist at the Cinema 'Paradiso', the focus of his childhood imagination and adult reminiscences. Soon memories of his first love affair with the beautiful Elena and all the experiences that shaped his life come flooding back, as Salvatore reconnects with the community he left 30 years earlier. Classic scenes throughout are imbued with humour and pathos -- Toto peeping illicitly through the curtains as the priest censors every inflammatory love scene; the moment when Alfredo takes pity on the villagers unable to squeeze into the cinema and projects the film onto a building outside in the town square; and the heart-breaking final kissing montage - are all complemented by Ennio Morricone's lilting romantic score and the sun kissed Sicilian locations. Enchanting in every way, Cinema Paradiso on the big screen will make you wide-eyed with childlike wonder all over again. www.arrowfilms.co.uk
THE BANK JOB is inspired by an extraordinary true event, a daring, unsolved robbery, which took place more than 35 years ago in London. A highly-charged thriller, directed by Roger Donaldson and starring Jason Statham and Saffron Burrows, it interweaves a heady combination of intrigue, scandal and danger and has been described by its producers as "an amazing untold story of murder, sex and corruption". In September 1971, thieves tunnelled into the vault of a bank in London's Baker Street and looted safe deposit boxes of cash and jewellery worth millions and millions of pounds. None of it was recovered. Nobody was ever arrested. The robbery made headlines for a few days and then disappeared - the result of a UK Government 'D' Notice, gagging the press. This film reveals what was hidden in those boxes. The story involves murder, corruption and a sex scandal with links to the Royal Family - a story in which the thieves were the most innocent people involved. http://www.bankjobmovie.co.uk RELEASED IN UK CINEMAS 29TH FEBRUARY
