HI FILM FANS,As we head into Winter, and the nights turn darker there’s no place better than the cinema to catch all the best entertainment!

Christmas sees two of the most anticipated films of the year unleashed - STAR WARS: RISE OF THE SKYWALKER and the film adaptation of the stage musical CATS.

Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones reunite for the period drama THE AERONAUTS Ewan MacGregor stars in the sequel to The Shining DOCTOR SLEEP. There’s an amazing cast for the modern day whodunnit KNIVES OUT, a film that’ll keep you guessing til the end.

For families there’s plenty to watch including FROZEN 2 and our season of festive Saturday Morning Pictures - THE POLAR EXPRESS, HOME ALONE and of course the annual favourite THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL. There’s also Matt Damon and Christian Bale in LE MANS ‘66, Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen in THE GOOD LIAR.

We are participating in the BFI BLOCKBUSTER season focusing on Musicals. SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN, SWEET CHARITY, WEST SIDE STORY and more all on the big screen. MY PICKI love Christmas movies with DIE HARD being a particular favourite. SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN is one of my all-time greatest films but of the current run films I have to say I’m most excited for STAR WARS. I’ve been a fan all my life so won’t miss this for the world!

DIRECTOR Mike Flanagan | STARRING Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson, Jacob Tremblay | SPECIFICATION (15) USA 2019. 152 Mins

SYNOPSIS Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Danny Torrance has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father’s legacy of despair, alcoholism and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant “shining” power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan’s own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra’s soul...

BUZZ It’s been nearly 40 years since Jack Nicholson tore up the Overlook Hotel in a frenzy. Stephen King has followed up his own novel with a new story about Danny’s powers from the original. Scary and chilling in a whole new way. Ewan McGregor looks like great casting and the trailer looks like it has retained some of the visual style of Kubrick’s classic horror. Perfectly timed for Halloween - come and give your self a good scare!

THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING

A BEAUTIFUL MIND

WILD ROSE

DIRECTOR Tom Harper | STARRING Felicity Jones, Eddie Redmayne, Himesh Patel | SPECIFICATION (PG) UK 2019. 101 Mins

SYNOPSIS In 1862, daredevil balloon pilot Amelia Wren teams up with pioneering meteorologist James Glaisher to advance human knowledge of the weather and fly higher than anyone in history. While breaking records and advancing scientific discovery, their voyage to the very edge of existence helps the unlikely pair find their place in the world they have left far below them. But they face physical and emotional challenges in the thin air, as the ascent becomes a fight for survival.

BUZZ The reteaming of Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones from the Oscar-winning THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING has been much hyped and doesn’t disappoint - they are both fantastic here. There’s a real sense of wonder and danger to the balloon sequences as they take to the skies in an untested craft going higher than anyone before them. British director Tom Harper follows up WILD ROSE with another great film.

THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY

DIRECTOR Ken Loach | STARRING Kris Hitchen, Debbie Honeywood | SPECIFICATION (15) UK 2019. 101 Mins

SYNOPSIS Ricky and his family have been fighting an uphill struggle against debt since the 2008 financial crash. An opportunity to wrestle back some independence appears with a shiny new van and the chance to run a franchise as a self employed delivery driver. It’s hard work, and his wife’s job as a carer is no easier. The family unit is strong but when both are pulled in different directions everything comes to breaking point.

BUZZ A spiritual sequel of sorts to Ken Loach’s I, DANIEL BLAKE. This is a hardline indictment of the gig economy and zero hour contracts. Exploring the damage they can have on the stable lives of families in the UK. The performances, largely by non-actors, are heartbreakingly beautiful. The film will send you reeling into the streets needing to discuss it with people. One of the most incendiary films of the year directed by 83 year old Ken Loach.

SYNOPSIS Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven leave Arendelle to travel to an ancient, autumn-bound forest of an enchanted land. They set out to find the origin of Elsa’s powers in order to save their kingdom.

BUZZ It’s been 6 years since FROZEN burst onto our screens and became a global phenomenon. The Disney animation has had spin-off films, a Broadway musical, theme-park attractions, hit songs and more merchandise than you could possibly imagine. But behind all that lies a genuine, emotional classic with cracking songs! So expectations could not be higher for this sequel. The cast are all back and we absolutely love Josh Gad as Olaf the Snowman!

As Betty opens her home and life to him, Roy is surprised to find himself caring about her, turning what should be a cut-and-dry swindle into the most treacherous tightrope walk of his life

BUZZ The big sell for us here is the pairing of Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen facing off against each other. Bill Condon has a great back catalogue of films including GODS AND MONSTERS with Ian McKellen, DREAMGIRLS and the writer of CHICAGO. Based on the best-selling novel by Nicholas Searle. A great twist on the traditional con-artist film.

From Harlan’s dysfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Harlan’s untimely death.

BUZZ Garnering great reviews from audiences around the world at festivals, Rian Johnson’s whodunnit is a perfect update on Agatha Christie for modern times whilst not losing the classic structure that makes the genre so popular. Johnson has gathered a fantastic A-List cast around him, all having a delightful time chewing the scenery and dropping red herrings. We really hope to see Daniel Craig’s Detective Blanc back for more adventures.

THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING

DIRECTOR Fernando Meirelles | STARRING Jonathan Pryce, Anthony Hopkins | SPECIFICATION (12A TBC) Italy/UK 2019. 126 Mins

SYNOPSIS An intimate story of one of the most dramatic transitions of power in the last 2,000 years. Frustrated with the direction of the church, Cardinal Bergoglio requests permission to retire in 2012 from Pope Benedict. Instead, facing scandal and self-doubt, the introspective Pope Benedict summons his harshest critic and future successor to Rome to reveal a secret that would shake the foundations of the Catholic Church.

BUZZ An absolutely wonderful drama from CITY OF GOD director Fernando Meirelles. Essentially a two hander but made beautifully cinematic, the performances are a real treat and watching Pryce and Hopkins bounce off of each other is electric. More than just two men talking to each other, the film covers the back-story of the two men and how they became the Popes they are. Accessible, enjoyable, very moving and a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes at the Vatican.

SYNOPSIS American car designer Carroll Shelby and driver Ken Miles battle corporate interference, the laws of physics and their own personal demons to build a revolutionary race car for Ford and challenge Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966.

BUZZ Renamed LE MANS ’66 for the UK, the international title is FORD VS FERARRI. This features excellent performances by both Damon and Bale bouncing off each other brilliantly. The racing sequences are thrilling as they plunge you into the cars of the 60s at 200mph round the tight bends. Showing the human cost of the drive for perfection, with as much drama off the track as on it. It’s a great slice of history with actors at the top of their game and makes the motor-racing accessible for non-fans.

DIRECTOR Scott Z. Burns | STARRING Adam Driver, Annette Bening, Jon Hamm | SPECIFICATION (15) USA 2019. 120 Mins

SYNOPSIS Thriller based on actual events. Idealistic staffer Daniel J. Jones is tasked by his boss Senator Dianne Feinstein to lead an investigation of the CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program created in the aftermath of 9/11. Jones’ relentless pursuit of the truth leads to findings that uncover the lengths to which the nation’s top intelligence agency went to destroy evidence, subvert the law, and hide a shocking secret from the American public.

BUZZ You can tell that this film struck a chord with the cast as there a lot of high profile actors here filling out smaller roles. The peek behind the curtain of the CIA intelligence gathering and the political machinations that leads to their announcement is fascinating and terrifying. Adam Driver gives yet another fantastic performance and is becoming one of this generations finest actors. Look out for him in MARRIAGE STORY coming soon as well.

SYNOPSIS A World War II satire that follows a lonely German boy named Jojo whose world view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother is hiding a young Jewish girl in their attic. Aided only by his idiotic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler, Jojo must confront his blind nationalism.

BUZZ After winning the audience award at Toronto Film Festival, this film has just become the favourite for Best Picture at the Oscars in 2020. It’s a wild ride that forces you to ask questions of yourself and takes a serious look at the incitement of hate. But also has a good laugh along the way. Director Taika Waititi is a highlight as Adolf Hitler and the young actors are sublime as they take the dramatic weight of the film, leaving established actors to handle the comedy.
