Soul Music (Universal, PG, 3 hours 6 mins)
There’s a weird music taking over the land – it’s fast, it’s furious and they call it The Music with Rocks in. And what’s more, it’s alive… Even more sinister, Death has disappeared, but who could possibly be qualified or willing to step into his black cape and wield the scythe?

Moist von Lipwig A fraudster and conman has to choose between being hanged, or put Ankh-Morpork's ailing postal service back on its feet. Not an easy choice to make…
But he's got to see that the mail gets through, come rain, hail, sleet, dogs, the Post Office Workers Friendly and Benevolent Society, the evil chairman of the Grand Trunk Semaphore Company, and a midnight killer.
Getting a date with Adora Bell Dearheart would be nice, too.
Maybe it'll take a criminal to succeed where honest men have failed, or maybe it's a death sentence either way.
Or perhaps there's a shot at redemption in the mad world of the mail, waiting for a man who's prepared to push the envelope…
