Mr. Magorium posterJust the one new film open­ing this week: Mr. Magorium’s Won­der Empori­um about a magic toy­shop facing unex­pec­ted change. It stars Dustin Hoff­man and Nat­alie Port­man and is reviewed here, at Funer­als & Snakes. Magori­um is play­ing at Read­ings, Regent-on-Man­ners, Empire and Sky City Queens­gate.

It’s a quiet week before the big Box­ing Day and New Year’s Day releases which, by my cal­cu­la­tion, will see 13 more films open in cinemas around Wel­ling­ton.
