Movies This Week

At BFBS, we’re celebrating Movie Moments That Matter

In honour of Mother's Day this Sunday, BFBS Extra brings you some fantastic films.

Emily imagines the transformative, exhilarating, and uplifting journey to womanhood of a rebel and a misfit, one of the world's most famous, enigmatic, and provocative writers in this week's premiere.

Mermaids centres around the nomadic life of an attractive mother and her two daughters in 1960's America. Starring Cher, Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci.

An unskilled young fairy godmother ventures out on her own, to prove her worth by tracking down a young girl whose request for help was ignored in Godmothered.

 In a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman ordered to kill Snow White, becomes her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen in Snow White and the Huntsman.

Mother's Instinct follows housewives Alice and Celine, best friends and they seem to have it all. However, when a tragic accident shatters the harmony of their lives, guilt, suspicion and paranoia begin to unravel their sisterly bond.

Then Mother's Day takes a dark turn in the remake of Carrie. After being pushed too far at her senior prom, a shy teenager unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town and her fanatically religious mother.
