What’s Opening In Cinemas This Week: The Colours Of Time Flow Through Glenrothan While Trying To Avoid The Mummy!

The superb Colours Of Time, Brian Cox’s directorial debut Glenrothan and Lee Cronin’s The Mummy lead the releases this week at your local cinema.

It is a big week for cinema releases. While we have one huge release in the shape of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, there is plenty of smaller fare that deserve your attention. Films like the superb Colours Of Time, Brian Cox’s directorial debut Glenrothan, and the musical version of Kiss Of The Spiderwoman are also vying for your box office cash. Alongside eight other titles opening in screens, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

We saw the film earlier this week, and were blown away by it. I had this to say about the film:

“#ColoursOfTime is a wonderfully amusing, dramatic, and fulfilling film that showcases the talents of all involved.

A dual narrative works wonders as the past and present combine into something marvelously uplifting.

A real cinematic treat.”

THE BLUE TRAIL

MetFilm-Release date: Friday 17th April 

Cert: 15

We saw the film about a month back, and had a great time with it. I said after seeing the film:

“#TheBlueTrail is a heartwarming, gentle, but sinister look at a futuristic, alternative way to treat our elderly.

The film is handled with grace, the subject is handled well, and the comedy lightens the tone.

I’m with the mischievous protagonist all the way!

Enjoyable and fun.”

DIAMANTI

Vue Lumiere-Release date: Friday 17th April

Cert: 15

Again, we saw the film around a month ago, and while we found it enjoyable, it did have some places where it was heavy going. I said after the film:

“#Diamanti (Diamonds) is a fun Italian comedy drama that displays the strength of women and the stresses they face daily.

While the film is good and enjoyable, it does become heavy going at times.

The performances are good and emotional, though, powering the film through.”
