Triple-bill of war features. 'Lebanon' (2009), directed by Samuel
Maoz, depicts 24 hours in the life of four Israeli paratroopers at
the outset of the 1982 Lebanon invasion. Shot almost entirely from
inside the tank in which they are travelling, the film follows the
soldiers as they attempt to clear an area of hostile fighters while
suffering from the multiple stresses of combat. Yoav Donat, Itay
Tiran, Oshri Cohen and Michael Moshonov star. 'Saints and Soldiers'
(2003) is set in Belgium in December 1944, where German troops open
fire on unarmed American prisoners of war in what would be dubbed
the Malmedy Massacre. A stranded R.A.F. pilot, Oberon Winley (Kirby
Heyborne), holds the key to German intelligence which could prevent
further atrocities, but can the Americans help free him from his
perilous position behind enemy lines? 'Assault On the Pacific:
Kamikaze' (2007) is a Japanese World War II drama about a squadron
of Kamikaze pilots fighting in the Pacific. The film follows the
training and final moments in the lives of the young pilots as they
bid farewell to their families and girlfriends and prepare to
embark on their suicidal missions against the US Navy over the
Pacific Ocean. Toru Emori and Katsutaka Furuhata star.

December 1944. The German army rampages through the frozen wastes of Belgium's Ardennes Forest.
Among the many Allied prisoners taken en route, a small band of American soldiers manages to escape. Without weapons and without food, ravaged by the cold, the men are determined to make it back to their own frontline...but as their perilous journey takes its toll, loyalties become divided and lives hang in the balance.
A mesmerising, hallucinatory journey through the hellish landscape of war-ravaged Europe, based on real life events, Saints & Soldiers tells the story of ordinary men and the mission that made them heroes.
Things have started to get quite . . . peculiar . . .
Having defeated the monstrous threat that nearly destroyed the peculiar
world, Jacob Portman is back in Florida, where his story began.
Joined by Miss Peregrine, Emma and their peculiar friends, life has
become carefree. They spend days at the beach, and take part in
'normalling' lessons.
But it's not meant to last.
The discovery of Jacob's grandfather's subterranean bunker leads to
clues about his double-life as a peculiar operative.
Jacob begins to learn more about the dangerous legacy he's inherited,
and the truths that were part of him long before he walked into Miss
Peregrine's time loop.
Now, the stakes are higher than ever as Jacob and his friends are
thrust into the untamed landscape of American peculiardom - a world
that none of them understand.
New wonders, and dangers, await in this darkly brilliant next chapter
for Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, illustrated with haunting
vintage photographs- in full colour.

The epic new novel from the internationally acclaimed and best-selling author of 1Q84.
In Killing Commendatore, a thirty-something portrait painter in Tokyo is abandoned by his wife and finds himself holed up in the mountain home of a famous artist, Tomohiko Amada. When he discovers a strange painting in the attic, he unintentionally opens a circle of mysterious circumstances. To close it, he must complete a journey that involves a mysterious ringing bell, a two-foot-high physical manifestation of an Idea, a dapper businessman who lives across the valley, a precocious thirteen-year-old girl, a Nazi assassination attempt during World War II in Vienna, a pit in the woods behind the artist’s home, and an underworld haunted by Double Metaphors.
A tour de force of love and loneliness, war and art – as well as a loving homage to The Great Gatsby – Killing Commendatore is a stunning work of imagination from one of our greatest writers.

When we first meet him, Chappie is a punked-out teenager living
with his mother and abusive stepfather in an upstate New York
trailer park. During this time, he slips into drugs and petty
crime. Rejected by his parents, out of school, and in trouble with
the police, he claims for himself a new identity as a permanent
outsider; he gets a crossed-bones tattoo on his arm, and takes the
name Bone. He finds dangerous refuge with a group of biker-thieves,
and then hides in the boarded-up summer house of a professor and
his wife. He finally settles in an abandoned school bus with Rose,
a child he rescues from a fast-talking pedophile.
There Bone meets I-Man, an exiled Rastafarian, and together they
begin a second adventure that takes the reader from Middle America
to the ganja-growing mountains of Jamaica. It is an amazing journey
of self-discovery through a world of magic, violence, betrayal, and
redemption.
