Next Film: Midnight in Paris (12A) - Wednesday 15th February 2012
Gil (Owen Wilson) and Inez (Rachel McAdams)travel to Paris as a tag-along vacation on her parents' business trip. Gil is a successful Hollywood writer but is struggling on his first novel. He falls in love with the city and thinks they should move there after they get married, but Inez does not share his romantic notions of the city or the idea that the 1920s was the golden age. When Inez goes off dancing with her friends, Gil takes a walk at midnight and discovers what could be the ultimate source of inspiration for writing. Gil's daily walks at midnight in Paris could take him closer to the heart of the city but further from the woman he's about to marry.
Directed by Woody Allen and also starring Kathy Bates and Michael Sheen.
The Help (12A) - Wednesday 21st March 2012
Based on the hit ‘reading group’ novel by Kathryn Stockett. This is a wonderful film, the sort that gets lost in the multiplex mayhem. Set in Mississippi during the 60s, Skeeter (Emma Stone) is a southern society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends' lives - and a Mississippi town - upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families. Aibileen (Viola Davis), Skeeter's best friend's housekeeper, is the first to open up - to the dismay of her friends in the tight-knit black community. Despite Skeeter's life-long friendships hanging in the balance, she and Aibileen continue their collaboration and soon more women come forward to tell their stories - and as it turns out, they have a lot to say. Along the way, unlikely friendships are forged and a new sisterhood emerges, but not before everyone in town has a thing or two to say themselves when they become unwittingly and unwillingly caught up in the changing times. “I cannot remember the last time I saw a movie that inspired me, made me cry, made me laugh, and made me sad, angry, and hopeful, all at the same time - this is what The Help strives and aims for, without making it cheesy. All in all, this is a DEFINITELY MUST SEE movie. I personally believe that it is one of the best movies of 2011.” imdb correspondent.
The Iron Lady (12A) - Wednesday 18th April 2012
Meryl Streep is Margaret Thatcher, Jim Broadbent as Denis and Richard E Grant as Heseltine. This is irresistible. Wonderful comment from an imdb correspondent too young to remember who she is: “Tells the story of a woman who smashed through the barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world. The story concerns power and the price that is paid for power, and is a surprising and insightful portrait of an extraordinary and complex woman” Hmm! Some of us remember differently!
