Three decades ago mastermind George Miller broke every rule. As we head into the final month before its release, Warner Bros. Pictures brings you stunning new posters and the ultimate Legacy Trailer for MAD MAX: FURY ROAD.
With new footage and a reminder of all the power, chaos and madness from the franchise, this is one not to be missed.
Oscar-winning filmmaker George Miller’s movie revisits his own post-apocalyptic trilogy featuring the anti-hero known as Mad Max. Tom Hardy stars in the role of Max Rockatansky, alongside Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keough, Hugh Keays-Byrne and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max (Tom Hardy) believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa (Charlize Theron).
They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne), from whom something irreplaceable has been taken.
Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows.
Composer Junkie XL (RUN ALL NIGHT, the upcoming BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE with Hans Zimmer) has composed the score.
MAD MAX: FURY ROAD opens in UK cinemas May 14; US theaters May 15.

Starring Guy Pearce, Cobie Smulders, Kevin Corrigan, Brooklyn Decker and Giovanni Ribisi, check out thetrailer for RESULTS – in theaters and on demand May 29.
Recently divorced, newly rich, and utterly miserable, Danny (Kevin Corrigan) would seem to be the perfect test subject for a definitive look at the relationship between money and happiness. Danny’s well-funded ennui is interrupted by a momentous trip to the local gym, where he meets self-styled guru/owner Trevor (Guy Pearce) and irresistibly acerbic trainer Kat (Cobie Smulders). Soon, their three lives are inextricably knotted, both professionally and personally.
Writer/director Andrew Bujalski (Computer Chess, 2013) returns with a fun, intimate fable that’s utterly grounded in real life. As wrinkles turn into complications, then blow up into full-fledged issues, the talented ensemble keeps the pensive tone light and the complex plot breezy. The end result is a charming shaggy-dog tale that’s been hitting the gym: taut, limber, and powerful.
The latest Earth Day release from Disneynature, MONKEY KINGDOM, is the charming story of Maya, a toque macaque living in the rainforest of Sri Lanka, whose world is changed when her son Kip is born. Anxious for her son to have all the best that life in their troop has to offer, Maya tries, not always successfully, to climb the social ladder and advance up the pecking order of the troop. At the top sits alpha male Raja, and his harem of top females and offspring that get the best beds, the best food and the best treatment.
After an attack on their home, Castle Rock, by a neighboring troop of monkeys, Raja is injured and the troop must now rely on Maya and her mate Kumar’s jungle smarts and street savvy to survive. One particularly hilarious sequence shows the local town and markets overrun with monkeys, stealing every piece of food they can get their little monkey hands on. After a few days of gorging and building up their strength, Maya and the rest of the troop, led by Kumar, are now ready to launch the fight to get their precious home back.
Narrated by Tina Fey, MONKEY KINGDOM is directed by Mark Linfield, who worked on Disneynature’s terrific CHIMPANZEE and co-directed by Alastair Fothergill, who has had a hand in almost all of the Disneynature features, including BEARS, and AFRICAN CATS.
Once again, Linfield, Fothergill and crew capture some of the most spectacular images of the jungle and its’ inhabitants that most humans would never have the opportunity to see. Composer Harry Gregson-Williams brings the ancient ruins and jungles to life with his score. As with the previous Disneynature features, the end credits give audiences a glimpse into what the actual filming was like (monkeys taking selfies, anyone?). MONKEY KINGDOM is spellbinding.

Starring Meryl Streep and Carey Mulligan, here’s your first look at SUFFRAGETTE.
Heading to cinemas during the upcoming awards season, SUFFRAGETTE is the first ever feature film to tell the inspirational story of the foot soldiers of the early feminist movement who risked everything in the fight for equality.
SUFFRAGETTE is a moving drama that will empower all who are striving for equal rights in our own day and age. The stirring story, inspired by the early-20th-century campaign by the suffragettes for the right of women to vote, centers on Maud (played by Carey Mulligan), a working wife and mother who comes to realize that she must fight for her dignity both at home and in her workplace. Realizing that she is not alone, she becomes an activist alongside other brave women from all walks of life. The early efforts at resistance were passive but as the women faced increasingly aggressive police action, the suffragettes become galvanized – risking their very lives to ensure that women’s rights would be recognized and respected.
Ruby Films’ Alison Owen, an Academy Award nominee as producer of Elizabeth, and Faye Ward are the producers of SUFFRAGETTE, which is directed by Sarah Gavron (Brick Lane) from a screenplay by Abi Morgan (The Iron Lady).
Starring Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter, Brendan Gleeson, Ben Whishaw and Meryl Streep as Emmeline Pankhurst, SUFFRAGETTE will open in UK cinemas nationwide on October 30, 2015; Focus Features will release the film in the U.S. Fall 2015.

“Oh no, Mrs. Robinson. I think, I think you’re the most attractive of all my parents’ friends. I mean that!”
THE GRADUATE will screen at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium Friday April 17th at 7:30pm.
THE GRADUATE (1967), director Mike Nichols’ second feature after he debuted with WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOLF? (1966), is still a delightful classic and a nostalgic piece of its time, to say the least. Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman, 30 years old at the time, convincingly playing someone a decade his junior) is fresh out of college, and comes back to his rich parents’ house in a California suburb. Bored and undecided about what to do with his life, Benjamin is seduced by a friend of the family, middle-aged Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft, who was actually only 36). When Mrs. Robinson’s daughter Elaine (Katharine Ross) shows up, Benjamin is forced to take her on a date. He hesitates at first and even tries to humiliate her by bringing her to a strip club, but he soon wants to marry her.
THE GRADUATE’s witty screenplay (by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry, based on a novel by Charles Webb) and the unforgettable songs by Simon & Garfunkel are the perfect combination of joy & melancholy. Hoffman is terrific, Ross is charming, and Anne Bancroft is outstanding. I wouldn’t go as far as call Benjamin a true rebel – he’s way too passive for that. I’d argue Mrs. Robinson is more of a rebel than he is for most of the story, although she herself is trapped in a world of misery when Ben and her daughter decide to rebel together and give happiness, or at least freedom, a try. No matter how you judge this film today, THE GRADUATE still has the fresh smell of young alienation and passion intact. St. Louis-area movie lovers will get a chance to experience THE GRADUATE in all of its big screen glory when it screens this Friday, April 17th at 7:30 at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium (470 E. Lockwood in Webster Groves). It’s part of Webster University’s Centennial Film Series – a look at the Movies that Defined the Past 100 Years.

$6 for the general public $5 for seniors, Webster alumni and students from other schools $4 for Webster University staff and faculty
