Three new movies hit the big screen

THERE are three spectacular movies showing at The Majestic this weekend, with something for everyone.

New on screen is the true drama “Jesus Revolution”, about a national spiritual awakening in the early 1970’s and its origins within a group of teenage hippies in Southern California.

The film tells the story of a young Greg Laurie (Joel Courtney) being raised by his struggling mother, Charlene (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) in the 1970s.

Laurie and a sea of young people descend on sunny Southern California to redefine truth through all means of liberation.

Inadvertently, Laurie meets Lonnie Frisbee (Jonathan Roumie), a charismatic hippie-street-preacher, and Pastor Chuck Smith (Kelsey Grammer) who have thrown open the doors of Smith’s languishing church to a stream of wandering youth.

What unfolds becomes the greatest spiritual awakening in American history. Rock and roll, newfound love, and a twist of faith lead to a Jesus Revolution that turns one counter-culture move- ment into a revival that changes the world.

The next movie is a one-time opportunity to appreciate a special retro feature by Stephen Spielberg from 1985 – the sci-fi adventure comedy “Back To The Future”, which is great for all ages.

Marty McFly, a typical American teenager of the 80s, is accidentally sent back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered DeLorean “time machine” invented by a slightly mad scientist.

During his often hysterical, always amazing trip back in time, Marty must make certain his teenage parents-tobe meet and fall in love - so he can get back to the future.

The colourful animated family adventure comedy, “The Super Mario Bros Movie”, based on the world’s biggest selling game, continues this weekend and is a wonderful family experience.

A Brooklyn plumber named Mario travels through the Mushroom Kingdom with a princess named Peach and an anthropomorphic mushroom named Toad to find Mario’s brother, Luigi, and to save the world from a ruthless firebreathing Koopa named Bowser.
