Mank, the highly-acclaimed new film from director David Fincher (Fight Club, The Social Network) arrives at the Princess this Friday; his first film since 2014's Gone Girl. 1930s Hollywood is reevaluated through the eyes of scathing wit and alcoholic screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz as he races to finish "Citizen Kane". It's a must-see in glorious black & white; on the big screen for a limited time, only! "Arguably the best-looking movie of the year, David Fincher's richly layered biopic stars Gary Oldman, in peak form as the hard-living Herman Mankiewicz." - Chicago Sun-Times

Kevin Costner & Diane Lane light up the screen together in the new thriller, Let Him Go opening this weekend. If you're in the mood for a knock-out, roller-coaster ride of a film this weekend, this is it. Stunning reviews as well... "Watching Diane Lane and Kevin Costner connect as a couple determined to retrieve their grandson is pure movie heaven." - Richard Roeper

Blumhouse Productions (who have created some of the best horror films this century, including Get Out) have taken the body-swap "Freaky Friday" trope, added in a good dose of horror/comedy & have come up with Freaky. It looks REALLY fun and has garnered great reviews from critics. "A delightful cross between Friday the 13th, Freaky Friday and Heathers. Enormously entertaining, funny and zany.." - NYC Film Guru

With unfettered access to the Zappa family trust and all archival footage, filmmaker Alex Winter explores the private life behind the mammoth musical career that never shied away from the political turbulence of its time.

"As a rock star who most people have heard of but couldn’t identify one of his songs, Frank Zappa had a somewhat perverse relationship to fame. The Zappa who comes through in Alex Winter’s appreciative but sometimes cutting documentary that bears the iconoclast’s name held the music industry in almost as much contempt as he did many of his fans.
