This Friday we premiere two new films from England, both based on true stories of siblings and both completely different! Legend is the highly anticipated bio-pic of Ronald and Reginald Kray, identical twin gangsters who menaced London during the 1950s and 1960s. Telling the story from the perspective of Reggie Kray's wife, Legend features not one, but two knock-out performances by Tom Hardy, who does double-duty playing the twins. Look for daily screenings of Legend at both the Original and the Twin. A Royal Night Out takes a historical fact and spins a delightful tale out of it: On V.E. Day, the official end of WWII, princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, aged 19 and 14, were permitted to slip out of Buckingham Palace to go out and join the rest of London for the massive celebrations. Sarah Gadon and Bel Powley are marvellous as the sisters, who pretend for one thrilling night that they are commoners, just like everyone they meet. A Royal Night Out also stars Emily Watson and Rupert Everett (as the King and Queen).
