New Releases At Movie Mix 21st May 2009!

Firstly an apology, since we downloaded Internet Explorer 8 it seems the blog has not been updated due to a technical hitch. We have gone back to Internet Explorer 7 and hopefully the problem will fix itself!

This week we have four new releases: The Reader, Beverly Hils Chihuahua, Seven Pounds and The Spirit. Watch the trailers to help you decide.







The Reader begins in Germany shortly after the end of WW2 when teenager Michael Berg becomes ill and is helped home by Hanna, a stranger twice his age. Michael recovers from scarlet fever and seeks out Hanna to thank her. The two are quickly drawn into a passionate but secretive affair.

Michael discovers that Hanna loves being read to and their physical relationship deepens. Hanna is enthralled as Michael reads to her from 'The Odessey', 'Huck Finn' and 'The Lady With The Little Dog.' Despite their intense bond, Hanna mysteriously disappears one day and Michael is left confused and heartbroken.

Eight years later, while Michael is a law student observing the Nazi war crime trials, he is stunned to find Hanna back in his life - this time as a defendant in the courtroom. As Hann's past is revealed, Michael uncovers a deep secret that will impact both of their lives. The Reader is a haunting story about truth and reconciliation, about how one generation comes to terms with the crimes of another.
