In these challenging times when cinema-goers are required to stay in, Roadshow Films is giving movie lovers across the country the ability to experience some of the biggest cinematic releases in the comfort of their homes.

The films to be released over the next week, include DC Blockbuster BIRDS OF PREY AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN, Guy Ritchie’s sophisticated action-comedy, THE GENTLEMEN, thought-provoking true story JUST MERCY and high-octane Australian family film GO! amongst others.

The compelling slate includes films that were either partway through their theatrical run, or which have recently completed their theatrical run in Australia and New Zealand and are being released express to in-home as a temporary measure in response to the COVID-19 crisis and the forced closure of cinemas.

“These are some of our most popular releases of the year and we are pleased to be able to bring them into Australian homes, express from the cinemas, in these extraordinary times” said Joel Pearlman, CEO Roadshow Films. “Roadshow Films has been entertaining Australians for over 80 years and we remain committed to bringing the best quality local and international entertainment to Australian movie lovers.”

The early release films will be available to buy on digital download from this weekend.

Never taking itself too seriously, it fires off a lot of bursts of energy and then moves on quickly regardless of their level of impact. In this way, it buries those ineffective moments before they do too much harm to the forward momentum. The wise cracking bad guy has a long and successful history in film and turning that tradition around into a wise cracking bad girl is artfully accomplished.

Robbie is her usual magnetic self and even with the bleached white makeup, her true colours shine through. She is fast becoming a Hollywood institution. There is even a scene mid-film where she gets to pay homage to tinsel town’s all time favourite blonde and it shows how comfortably she has become assimilated into that most exclusive of clubs.

Shot almost entirely on a film set, the comic book feel is never far from the mind and the conversations and monologues are easy to see contained in speech bubbles. Setting the uneven moments aside, it’s clear that these girls just want to have fun and it’s difficult to resist the infectious sense of it all.
