STARZPLAY
01. Moana (2016) FF This is the animated quest story of a young Polynesian girl (voiced by Auli‘i Cravalho), chosen by the ocean to reunite the earth spirit, Te Fiti, with an ancient relic and halt a devastating blight on her home island. The titular character teams up with a disgraced demi-power, voiced by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, and a wild-eyed scene-stealing pet chicken.
02. The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) NFF
Director Martin Scorsese deftly adapts the memoirs of Jordan Belfort, charting the rise and subsequent fall from grace of a Wall Street stockbroker (Leonardo DiCaprio). It’s a rags to private yachts, wild excess, amorality and Lamborghinis – and then back-again – story.
03. Bad Boys (1995), NFF
Two Miami cops, Marcus (Martin Lawrence) and Mike (Will Smith), investigate a Mafia drug ring. The police’s Internal Affairs unit uncovers a link to suggest that there’s an inside man within the force, and following a botched sting operation, Mike and Marcus are forced to turn rogue and follow the breadcrumbs to ultimately bring down the nefarious criminal organisation.
04. Wanted (2008), NFF

HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR COOL THIS SUMMER
This is a city that works hard, plays hard, but, on a boiling hot day, can feel like hard work. So look at this month’s magazine as a little cooling comfort pack to see you through the summer season. Let yourself be whisked off to our favourite indoor bars and hideaways – with AC, summery feels and maybe an ice-cold drink to keep you chill. Then dream of refreshing dishes to fill your belly. You’ve never had it so cool.
