The Light and the Luxe will be showing new movies The Danish Girl and at The Light will be Joy, as well as several shows of Star Wars.

It stars Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander in roles that are sure to net them Oscar nominations.

Jennifer Lawrence is on our screens again, taking the lead role in Joy.

Joy Mangano founded a business dynasty by inventing the Miracle Mop. She plots her course through four generations of her Italian-American family and sees her becoming a matriarch in her own right.
