Talking Pictures: The Jungle Book Swings In!

It’s an amazing week at the cinema – and on Talking Pictures!  London Mums’ resident film critic, Freda Cooper, takes a look at Disney’s live action version of  The Jungle Book and its director Jon Favreau talks about re-making a classic in The Big Interview.  Military thriller Eye In The Sky is also out and Helen Mirren pays tribute her co-star, Alan Rickman.

The DVD line-up includes David Lean’s The Sound Barrier, released in 1952 but on DVD for the very first time, and Tim Roth as a home care nurse in Chronic.

There’s a new number one at the box office and a helping of movie news and your essential guide to the movies is packed into exactly 20 minutes.  Your essential guide to the movies is on iTunes, TuneIn and right here:
