with the subject heading RED or WILD TARGET to go in
the draw for that movie. Only winners will be contacts.
RED is fast pace and has explosive action scenes, clever dialogue
and continuous humour releasing nationally in all major cinemas on 28
October. Frank
(Bruce Willis), Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovich) and
Victoria (Helen Mirren) used to be the CIA’s top agents –but
the secrets they know just made them the Agency’s top targets. Now
framed for assassination, they must use all of their collective cunning,
experience and teamwork to stay one step ahead of their deadly pursuers
and stay alive. To stop the operation, the team embarks on an
impossible, cross-country mission to break into the top-secret CIA
headquarters, where they will uncover one of the biggest conspiracies and
cover-ups in government history. http://www.red-themovie.com
Hilarious new comedy called WILD TARGET is
a crime come love story, a laugh-out-loud crowd pleaser, releasing in all
major and selected independents on November 11. A non-stop British comedy
farce in tradition of Death at a Funeral and Keeping Mum. Bill Nighy is Victor Maynard, a
middle-aged, solitary assassin, who lives to please his formidable Mother
(Eileen Atkins), despite his own peerless reputation for lethal
efficiency. His professional routine is interrupted when he finds himself
drawn to one of his intended victims, Rose (Emily Blunt). He spares her
life, unexpectedly acquiring in the process a young apprentice, Tony
(Rupert Grint). Believing Victor to be a private detective, his two new
companions tag along, while he attempts to thwart the murderous
attentions of his unhappy client (Rupert Everett). http://www.iconmovies.com.au/Movies/W/Wild%20Target.aspx
