Films of the week

What to expect when you’re expecting
What To Expect When You’re Expecting is a star-laden comedy about what happens to couples when they start trying for a family. Jules (Cameron Diaz) and Evan (Matthew Morrison) are high-profile celebrities trying for a baby. At first it all seems positive: that is, until reality kicks in – a reality they get to share with a writer of books on how to look after babies, a photographer looking to adopt from somewhere far-flung and a bunch of highly competitive parents-to-be. And when those babies are born, things don’t get any better, with a “dudes” support group hardly making the whole thing feel any easier.

The Raid
The Raid is a fast-paced, violence-packed adrenaline ride of a thriller set in Jakarta. In the heart of the slums is a safe house where the city’s murderers, drug dealers and a very important drug lord hide out. When a SWAT team is sent in to clear it up, it looks like the days are numbered for the town’s baddies. But, thanks to a tip off, the SWAT team is expected, meaning the violent inhabitants of the safe house have time to lay a sophisticated ambush. Can the team make it through the murderous and highly armed criminals back to safety?

These films are showing at Dagenham Vue – Dagenham Leisure Park, Cook Road, Dagenham, RM9 6UQ.
