Upcoming Sunday Cinema Presentations

Ryan Bingham (George Clooney), a corporate hatchet man who loves his life on the road, is forced to fight for his job when his company downsizes its travel budget.

Precious Jones is a high-school girl with nothing working in her favour. She is pregnant with her father's child - for the second time.

Precious's instincts tell her one thing: if she's ever going to break from the chains of ignorance, she will have to dig deeply into her own resources.
