Based on a novel by Espn's Rick Reilly, Missing Links features a foursome who conspire to graduate from their shoddy municipal course—one in which an elevated train passes through—to play at a fancy shmancy local club nearby. Hijinks, we imagine, ensue. Can't wait to see who... »

Morning Boxwishers and welcome to the end of another week. Yes, you’ve made it through the long slog and now can look forward to two days of downtime, and to help you choose how to spend it we’ve got the skinny on all the exciting new releases hitting your local cinema from today. There’s Will Smith on I’m-a-serious-actor form, a punchy comeback and dogs in clothes (yes, you heard me – Dogs In Clothes!) So whatever tickles your fancy, choose from one of these movie morsels…

If you see… Will Smith reunite with his The Pursuit of Happyness director Gabriele Muccino for Seven Pounds, the story of how one man looks to change the lives of seven strangers.

Why Not Catch The Pursuit Of Happyness and some of Big Willy’s other, more meaty attempts at drama such as Ali, The Legend Of Bagger Vance and 6 Degrees Of Separation. »
