A true story of hope and happiness
and a perfect sequel to its feel-good
predecessor
AN UNDENIABLY
TOUCHING AND
WHOLESOME FAMILY
AFFAIR, Dolphin Tale 2
tugs at the heart strings
and doles out real life
lessons.
Winter, the bottlenose
dolphin, first captured
our hearts in 2005 when
she was found entangled
in the ropes of a crab
trap, causing her to lose
her tail despite efforts to
save it at the Clearwater
Marine Aquarium (CMA).
A prosthetic flipper is
fitted, elevating her to star
status.
Her story went on to
inspire the book Dolphin
Tale and subsequently
the 2011 hit movie of the
same name. Winter now
returns in the sequel. This
time sees the staff at CMA
try to save her from being
transferred to another
aquarium after her
surrogate mother Panama
passes away.
Dolphin Tale 2 sees a
complete reunion of the
original cast, with Morgan
Freeman, Harry Connick,
Jr., Ashley Judd, Nathan
Gamble, Cozi Zuehlsdorff,
Kris Kristofferson, Juliana
Harkavy, Austin Stowell
and Austin Highsmith
all reprising their roles.
The characters are as
loveable and sentimental
as they were the first
time around, which this
time sees more drama
supplied by a blossoming
romance between Hazel
(Zuehlsdorff) and Sawyer
(Gamble).
When Winter is left
in isolation, an inspector

to find a new companion
for her to avoid being
transferred to another
facility. And so a fight
against time ensues,
eventually leading to the
rescue of another dolphin
called Hope. Now it’s up
to the team to help the
two dolphins in their new
found friendship, thus
ensuring Winter gets to
stay at CMA.
A feel-good family
film, Dolphin Tale 2 offers
earnest performances
from across the board,
especially that of Morgan
Freeman’s portrayal of the
kindly prosthetics expert.

Horror :
Annabelle (P13)
Starring:
Ward Horton,
Annabelle Wallis,
Alfre Woodard,
Brian Howe,
Eric Ladin, Kerry
O’Malley
Running time:
1 hr 48 mins
2
Programme
Based on the real-life story of a
supposedly haunted doll, Annabelle is
more than your average supernatural
scare-fest
Annabelle
of John and Mia Form as
they acquire a doll that
becomes possessed by a
demon named Annabelle.
Mia, shortly after giving
birth to baby Leah, who
becomes the target of
the demon doll, looks for
answers in a bookstore
run by a woman named
Evelyn. Her experiences
with the supernatural
provide some leads and
she tracks down Father
Perez, who sets about the
task of helping the couple
exorcise the evil spirit.
It may not be the
most original scare fest,
but Annabelle delivers a
cluster of fright-worthy
sequences and builds
tension in clever ways.
Director John R
Leonetti uses his keen
eye for cinematography
(as seen in The Conjuring)
to bloodcurdling effect,
culminating in a chilling
climax. Littered with
inventive set pieces, the
movie also does well to
capture the murderous
cult panic of the 1970s.
For many, Annabelle
will act as merely an
adequate transition
between The Conjuring
and its upcoming sequel,
slated for a 2016 release,
but the movie more than
holds its own and will
satisfy those looking for a
hefty, paranormal scare.
No doubting that you’ll be
left pale faced by the end.

WHEN DEMONIC
POWERS AWAKEN A
SEEMINGLY INNOCENT
DOLL, all hell breaks loose.
It has been some time
since an evil doll movie
has reared its sinister head
from the depths so when
Annabelle appeared in the
box office in all its creepy
glory, it was welcomed
with open arms. Well, as
much as a film centred on
a possessed ragdoll can be
anyway. Drawing parallels
with such classic flicks as
The Exorcist, Child’s Play
and Rosemary’s Baby,
Annabelle is a solid horror
outing that will keep you
on the edge of your seat
until the credits roll.
Serving as a prequel
to the 2013 supernatural
thriller The Conjuring, the
film follows the tribulations

Edge Of
Tomorrow
THINK GROUNDHOG
DAY MEETS STARSHIP
TROOPERS. Starring Tom
Cruise and Emily Blunt, Edge
of Tomorrow is much more
than your trite and clichéd
alien invasion action flick.
With characters whose
stories you’ll be highly
invested in and jaw-dropping
special effects, this is one not
to be missed.
When William Cage, a
military PR major with no
knowledge of actual combat
is thrown in at the deep end
to help fight off the Earth’s
alien invaders, it turns out to
be the first day of the rest of
his eternity. Cage gets lucky
on his first day on the job and
kills one of the alien ‘mimics’,
which sprays him with an
acid-like blood. When Cage
then dies on the battlefield,
he reawakens at the start of
his first day’s military training
and so begins his cycle of
restarting each time he dies
while fighting the aliens.
Taken under the wing of
hard-nosed Sergeant Rita
Vrataski, Cage’s knowledge
of his opponents and his
combat skills improve with
each day that he is forced to
relive in the ongoing struggle
against the invaders in the
quest for freedom.
Live. Die. Repeat.
Following his successful
roles in Jack Reacher and
Oblivion, Cruise is quickly
reinventing himself as a
solid leading man of the
action movie genre. Cruise
is working hard to cast aside
the two stereotypes that
have plagued him his whole
career – that he is too short
to be believable in action
roles and that his summer
blockbusters will flop.
Under the directorial
guidance of Bourne trilogy
executive producer, Doug
Liman, Cage’s ongoing battle
with figuring out not only
how to beat the aliens, but
break the time loop cycle will
leave you gasping for more
popcorn throughout.

THIS GROUND-BREAKING
NARRATIVE MEMOIR
received international
acclaim by critics and
audiences for its direction,
screenplay, production
value and its faithfulness
to Solomon Northup’s
memoir. The movie quickly
gained popularity with its
stellar cast and impressive
cinematography. Sometimes
difficult to watch but a true
history of the slavery era
in the United States, the
movie brilliantly captures the
sentiments and emotion from
the time. With immaculate
attention to detail, the film
garnered many awards and
was highly acclaimed by
critics.
The blockbuster hit movie
earned three Academy
Awards, including Best
Picture. It received a Golden
Globe Award for Best
Motion Picture – Drama
and also took home the
BAFTA Award for Best
Film. Chiwetel Ejiofor also
brought home the award
for Best Actor in his role as
Solomon Northup. Lupita
Nyong’O who played Patsey,
the young slave girl, was also
nominated for her role.
The writer for this
emotional film, John Ridley,
was residing in Amsterdam
where Anne Frank was a
national hero. When he read
the book, he knew that the
story needed to be heard
and so the screenplay was
born. Backed by Brad Pitt’s
production company, Plan
B Entertainment, and with a
budget of US$20 million, the
film grossed highly at the box
office with US$178,417,961.
The elegant music scores
were composed by Hans
Zimmer, composer for the
Pirates of the Caribbean
movies and more.
After the Oscar wins,
both Steve McQueen
(producer) and John
Ridley (screenplay writer)
got into a feud over the
screenplay credit. McQueen
was denied his share and
Ridley was vindicated by
Fox Searchlight, the film
distributor. This was later
denied by Ridley bringing the
debate to an end.
