The BFG, or Big Friendly Giant (played by Mark Rylance), is a monstrous-seeming figure who kidnaps the 10-year-old heroine Sophie (Ruby Barnhill), reaching his enormous hand through an upper window of her London orphanage and carrying her off to Giant Country far over the sea.
As it turns out, the BFG wishes Sophie no harm, beyond keeping her prisoner forever to stop the rumour of his existence from spreading.
All the same, Giant Country is a fearsome place, inhabited by a crew of larger, nastier giants with names such as Bloodbottler (Bill Hader) and Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine Clement) who like nothing better than to snack on kids.
Jason Bourne sees Matt Damon return to the role of the lethal former CIA operative in the latest of the popular series.
Bourne has gone off the grid, surviving as a bare-knuckle boxer in post-austerity Greece.
He's brought back into the fray by former ally Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles), who has quit her job as a CIA analyst to join a hacker organisation along WikiLeaks lines, obtaining secret files that shed light on Bourne's mysterious father (Gregg Henry).
Bourne's reappearance draws the attention of the CIA, who call on an assassin (Vincent Cassel) to neutralise the threat. So he finds himself on the run yet again, ending up in Las Vegas at the launch of an advanced social network called Deep Dream.
