The Aviator – Wednesday 19 September 2012 7pm WAT | Studio Universal | PG

Howard Hughes led a remarkable life. The son of a wealthy family, Hughes was not content to sit back on his wealth; rather, he was driven by a fierce sense of competition and a burning desire to pursue the dream of human flight.

The movie follows Hughes at different periods of his life, chronicling his quixotic stint as a Hollywood director, his tenuous, borderline insane aviation ventures and his tumultuous romances with some of Hollywood’s hottest stars.

Tragically, the movie also offers an unflinching depiction of the mental illness which was to prove Hughes ultimate downfall.
Starring
Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes
Cate Blanchett as Katherine Hepburn
John C Reilly as Noah Dietrich

50 First Dates – Wednesday 19 September 2012 7:30pm WAT | SONY | PG

A young woman with short-term memory loss relives the same day over every day – much like Groundhog Day, except that each morning she wakes up with a mental slate that’s been wiped clean of the previous day’s happenings.

Henry, a vet at an oceanarium in Hawaii is a serial “first dater” – going out with and dumping pretty tourists – until he meets Lucy in a diner.

But the next day, she looks right through him, as if she’s never seen him before. Thinking he may have found the love of his life, Henry goes to extraordinary lengths to make her fall for him anew every day.
Starring
Drew Barrymore as Lucy
Adam Sandler as Henry
Rob Schneider as Ula
