2007
Once is a modern-day musical about a busker and an immigrant and their eventful week, as they write, rehearse and record songs that tell their love story. Once not only has a ton of melodic singer-songwriter music from Glen Hansard, lead singer of the Irish group the Frames, and Marketa Irglova, a young Czech musician he's collaborated with, it's also got two as its stars. Described by Irish director John Carney as an "art house musical," Once was one of the unheralded small films that took people by surprise and became a sleeper hit at the Sundance Film Festival, winning the World Audience Award.

(PG)
2007
Music and Lyrics follows Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant), a washed up 80s pop star who’s been reduced to working the nostalgia circuit at county fairs and amusement parks. The charismatic and talented musician gets a chance at a comeback when reigning pop diva, Cora Corman (Haley Bennett) invites him to write and record a duet with her, but there’s a problem – Alex hasn’t written a song in years, he’s never written lyrics, and he has to come up with a hit in a matter of days. Enter Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore), Alex’s beguilingly quirky plant lady, whose flair for words strikes a chord with the struggling songwriter. On the rebound from a bad relationship, Sophie is reluctant to...

2007
An original musical film, ACROSS THE UNIVERSE is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and animation, the film is paired with many songs by The Beatles that defined the time.

Bride and Prejudice
(PG)
2005
In Bride and Prejudice, East meets West in a dazzlingly entertaining fusion of Hollywood and Bollywood unlike any interpretation of the classic novel that you have seen. The framework of the original is still very much in evidence, but the story is re-told with a spectacular splash of colour, and features razzle-dazzle song and dance numbers while it globe trots across India, London and LA. Cast as Lalita Bakshi – the counterpart to Austen’s Lizzie Bennet – is Bollywood superstar, Aishwarya Rai. Lalita is one of four daughters whose parents (Nadira Babbar and Anupam Kher) are trying to marry off. The arrival in their town of millionaire, Mr Balraj (Naven Andrews) and...
