There's new, old and everything in between on Presto for April.
But without doubt, the movie that will get everyone's attention in April has to be Jurassic World, the box office super hit that was one of the biggest movies of 2015, and all time, will be available for unlimited streaming on April 17. Less well received at the box office, and by critics, is Adam Sandler's homage to video games, Pixels, arriving April 24.
It's not just new releases that will be worth watching in April, as there are a couple of critically acclaimed hits that will be well worth your time, including the Scorsese/DiCaprio collaboration Shutter Island, as well as Clint Eastwood's 2008 hit Gran Torino. There's also Billy Elliot, Nell (a personal favourite), Chocolat and many many more.
And just in time for the school holidays, family favourites such as Stuart Little, Stardust and The AristoCats will keep the little ones (and the big ones that are young at heart) busy.
There's also some great TV joining Presto in April, starting with two very difference perspectives of war in two HBO productions, The Pacific and Generation Kill, the latter in particular is a great introduction to modern warfare and the source of many recent war related pop-culture references, from other TV shows and movies, to countless video games. HBO's John Adams and Showtime's The Affair will give you insight on history and on contemporary issues alike.
