Blitz
Synopsis
Jason Statham plays Detective Sergeant Brant, an old-style Copper, who is in trouble with the press when he beats up three hoodies who attack him with Carpet Knives when he tries to stop them breaking into his car. Brant is sent to a Police Psychiatrist but after helping his Boss, DI Roberts (Mark Rylance) cremate his wife, he immediately has to find a crazed serial killer calling himself the Blitz, who is bumping off Police officers.
Helped by his new partner, gay Sergeant Porter Nash (Paddy Considine), they track down weird Barry Weiss (Aidan Gillen). Weiss is clearly the killer but they don't have enough evidence and have to let him go. Brant then takes the law into his own hands and, aided by Nash, lures Weiss to his death, which they make look like another Blitz murder.

Clocks
Director: Yv Shells
Year: 2026
When Arlo arrives to find Marcus has cooked someone else’s favourite meal, a single question begins to unravel an evening that refuses to stay in the present. Through a fractured timeline set entirely within one dining room, we move between Marcus and Arlo and the relationship that came before, with Una, the woman he met at a late-night bus stop and once talked about marrying. The same table, the same chairs, the same arguments about trust, honesty and what it means to truly see someone. As the timelines bleed together, it becomes clear that Marcus has never fully left the past, and that Una’s ghost sits at every table he sets. When Arlo asks what her own favourite meal is and he cannot answer, the film’s quiet devastation lands completely. CLOCKS is a portrait of a man who loves generously but sees poorly, and the women who carry the cost. It asks what we owe the person in front of us while we are still in love with someone we lost, and whether a feeling ever truly ends.
