Films for Oct/Nov
Blade Runner – The Final Cut 04/10 (Cinema City)
What’s better than seeing the new Blade Runner movie on the big screen? Seeing the original Blade Runner movie at Cinema City. Well, I say the original, but this is yet another replicant of the original, and you know what they say about replicants – they’re either a benefit or a hazard. Which will this be? See it to find out.
The Death of Stalin 19/10
Period comedy co-written and directed by Armando Iannucci (Alan Partridge, The Thick Of It) chronicling the events that followed the death of the infamous Soviet dictator. If you like sharp political satire peppered with swearing, then this is for you. Featuring an array of talent including Olga Kurylenko, Steve Buscemi, Jason Isaacs and Paddy Considine.
Jigsaw 30/10
Would you like to play a game? How about a memory game? Remember how good Saw was, how cleverly it was revealed, and how it all fell into place brilliantly? Now let’s play spot the difference. This is more like a secondhand board game. Some key pieces are missing, it doesn’t work, and after it’s finished you’ll wonder why you bothered.
Murder on the Orient Express 03/11
The classic Christie murder mystery gets a facelift. Kenneth Brannagh directs and stars as Hercule Poirot, detective extraordinaire, who spends a luxury train journey trying to uncover who done it. Features a first class cast including Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Michelle Pfeiffer, Daisy Ridley, and Dame Judi Dench to name but a few.

Chicken Town: World Premiere
I’ve never seen a movie that can jump between comedy and grounded realism with such ease and respect. ..... There is real, genuine importance in this movie. Even after becoming properly engrossed in these characters and the themes present in the movie, I keep on thinking that there are deeper meanings that will register with me on a rewatch.

SOUP presents THE BOWL
I know I've said it before, but it can't be understated how rare it is to see a brave new fledgling sitcom appear - never mind locally! I have to mention that the soundtrack to the episode was entirely original, which is unbelievably impressive for a project such as this. The leaflet I was given prior to the screening said that the pilot promised to be ‘bold, vibrant and entertaining’ - and that's absolutely what it is. That sums it up pretty well. There's a lot to be proud of here. I can't wait to say ‘I knew them when' years down the line.
