In Cinemas This Week

Big Mommas: Like Father Like Son - Ace FBI agent Malcolm Turner is forced to don a dress again and go undercover as livin' large granny Big Momma when his stepson, Trent (Brandon T. Jackson), witnesses a murder and must hide out at an all-girls school, disguised as a big-boned coed named Charmaine. Malcolm acts as house mother in Trent's dorm, and while the duo searches for the killer, security guard Kurtis Kool (Faizon Love) falls for Big Momma and Trent lusts after his classmates.

In A Better World - Danish director Susanne Bier delves into the realm of fathers, sons and their perceived burden of male responsibility with this Oscar-nominated, Golden Globe-winning drama about the interplay between two dysfunctional families. With his father working abroad, bullied Elias (Markus Rygaard) finds solace in a budding friendship with a volatile new student (William Jøhnk Nielsen). But the boys' shared revenge only seems to invite more violence.

Sanctum - Based on a true story and using technology developed by executive producer James Cameron, this breathtaking thriller follows the adventures of expert diver Frank McGuire (Richard Roxburgh), who heads an expedition to map a network of underwater caverns. When a tropical storm cuts off their exit, the team, including Frank's teenage son, must use all their resources and strength to avoid panic and find a route to the surface. (3D in selected cinemas)

Unknown - Liam Neeson stars in this taut thriller as a man who regains consciousness after an auto accident only to discover that another man is impersonating him, and that no one -- not even his wife (January Jones) -- recognizes his identity as the real Dr. Martin Harris. Finding himself with an unexpected ally (Diane Kruger), Harris struggles to solve the mystery and hang onto his own wits, while also being stalked by anonymous killers.
