Published on March 29, 2016

There are few modern indulgences that beat settling into a dark cinema, laden with popcorn and ready to spend the next two to three hours with spies, wizards, lovers, musicians, dictators, ballet dancers, presidents and dinosaurs. As well as the NZIFF Autumn season and highly anticipated local releases Hunt for the Wilderpeople and Tickled, there's plenty afoot in Auckland cinemas this month, so we're here to give you a little hand choosing tonight's movie. We liked some, were less keen on others. See you at the candy bar.
