On The Screen
Minions - October 10, 10:30am & 12:30pm 
GE Theatre - Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, the Minions have evolved through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable masters of the time. Yet, it is in 1960s New York that they find their biggest baddest boss of all time: Scarlet Overkill.
Landfill Harmonic - October 10, 2:30, 4:30 & 6:30pm
GE Theatre - Close your eyes and listen to Bach's Cello Suite No.1. You would never guess the instrument is crafted from an old oil can, a beef tenderizing tool and a discarded pasta making device.
A View From The Bridge - October 11, 1pm 
GE Theatre - National Theatre Live Encore Series: The great Arthur Miller confronts the American dream in this dark and passionate tale. In Brooklyn, longshoreman Eddie Carbone welcomes his Sicilian cousins to the land of freedom. But when one of them falls for his beautiful niece, they discover that freedom comes at a price.
Japan's SHIN GODZILLA! - October 11, 12 & 15 
GE Theatre - SHIN GODZILLA is a reboot of the legendary series. This time, the beast arrives with the force of a giant tsunami, devastating modern Japan on a scale thought unimaginable, all while Japan's political and military leaders flounder, flub and pass the buck.
