Pixar’s new film is a sci-fi action adventure and the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear, the hero who inspired the toy. ‘Lightyear’ follows the legendary Space Ranger after he’s marooned on a hostile planet 4.2 million light-years from Earth alongside his commander and their crew. As Buzz tries to find a way back home through space and time, he’s joined by a group of ambitious recruits and his charming robot companion cat, Sox. Complicating matters and threatening the mission is the arrival of Zurg, an imposing presence with an army of ruthless robots and a mysterious agenda takes us back to the origins of legendary Toy Story hero Buzz Lightyear.

From visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge, Romeo and Juliet, The Great Gatsby) comes a biopic of The King of Rock n Roll, starring Austin Butler as Elvis Presley and Oscar winner Tom Hanks as his controversial manager Col Tom Parker. The story delves into the complex dynamic between Presley and Parker spanning over 20 years, from Presley’s rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America. Central to that journey is one of the most significant and influential people in Elvis’s life, Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge). A sensational film fit for a rollercoaster life.

She is welcomed with open arms by Eibhlín (Carrie Crowley), but her husband (Andrew Bennett) keeps Cáit at arms length. Slowly, but surely a warmth grows within this makeshift family and Cáit blossoms in their care. But in this house where there are meant to be no secrets, she discovers one painful truth.
