Recent films have included: -

Water for Elephants (12A) Directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Reese Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson and Christoph Waltz. Jacob defies his parents by running away to the circus. With superb 1930's detail, this is an old fashioned family film which is an emotional, inspiring and romantic epic. A well received entertainment for a moderately good sized audience.

Mao's Last Dancer (PG) directed by Bruce Beresford and starring Chi Cao, Bruce Greenwood & Kyle MacLachlan.
A drama based on the autobiography by Li Cunxin. At the age of 11, Li was plucked from a poor Chinese village by Madame Mao's cultural delegates and taken to Beijing to study ballet. In 1979, during a cultural exchange to Texas, he fell in love with an American woman. Two years later, he managed to defect and went on to perform as a principal dancer for the Houston Ballet. A lovely and engaging film much enjoyed by a good sized audience.

True Grit (15) directed by Ethan Coen and starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon & Hailee Steinfeld.
A tough U.S. Marshal helps a stubborn young woman track down her father's murderer.

Made in Dagenham (15) directed by Nigel Cole and starring Sally Hawkins, Bob Hoskins & Andrea Riseborough.
A dramatization of the 1968 strike at the Ford Dagenham car plant, where female workers walked out in protest against sexual discrimination.

The King's Speech (12A) directed by Tom Hooper and starring Helena Bonham Carter, Colin Firth, Guy Pearce, Geoffrey Rush, Michael Gambon, Timothy Spall and many others. Winner of four Oscars, including 'best film'.
A capacity audience thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful film - shown by spontaneous applause at the end. We were very sorry to have to refuse entry to some people, but we cannot exceed the legal limit set by fire regulations. Sadly we cannot offer a second showing either, as the film distributors will not allow it.

RED (12A) directed by Robert Schwentke and starring Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren and Karl Urban. An action-comedy spy thriller loosely inspired by the three-issue comic book series of the same name created by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner. In the film, released in October 2010, the title is derived from the designation of retired agent Frank Moses (Bruce Willis), meaning 'Retired, Extremely Dangerous'.

From Time to Time (U) directed by Julian Fellowes and starring Maggie Smith, Timothy Spall, Hugh Bonneville, Anne Reid. A haunting ghost story spanning two worlds, two centuries apart. When 13 year old Tolly finds he can mysteriously travel between the two, he begins an adventure that unlocks family secrets laid buried for generations.
It is especially appropriate that Julian Fellowes' film, made in Dorset and a celebration of the glories of the English countryside, should get a unique release not just in urban cinemas but also in nearly 50 villages across the length and breadth of the UK.

Ondine (12A) directed by Neil Jordan and starring Colin Farrell, Alicja Bachleda, Alison Barry.
The story of an Irish fisherman named Syracuse who discovers a woman in his fishing net, whom he believes to be a selkie or mermaid. She says her name is Ondine, which means 'she came from the sea'. His daughter Annie comes to believe that the woman is a selkie, a magical seal/woman creature, while Syracuse falls helplessly in love.

The Ghost Writer (15) directed by Roman Polanski and starring Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, Kim Catrall, Olivia Williams. All agreed that this was a very exciting and entertaining film.

It's Complicated (15) directed by Nancy Meyers and starring Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin.
A very entertaining film much enjoyed by a good-sized audience. For the first time, people were invited to bring a glass of wine with them and sit at small tables and this proved very sociable.

The Last Station. (15) Directed by Michael Hoffman , starring Christopher Plummer, Helen Mirren, James McAvoy, Paul Giamatti, Anne Marie Duff, Kerry Condon (won two Oscars). A much better audience enjoyed a truly wonderful, atmospheric evocation of the Russia of Leo Tolstoy.

Invictus. (12A) Directed by Clint Eastwood, starring Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon (both Oscar nominated). A disappointing audience for an outstanding film.

Is Anybody There? (12A) directed by John Crowley and starring Anne-Marie Duff, Bill Milner, Davis Morrissey, Leslie Philips, Michael Caine, Sylvia Syms. A real feel-good film to end the season. A good audience thoroughly enjoyed it and went home smiling.

Doubt (15) with Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Viola Davis. Directed by John Patrick Shanley (and based on his own stage play).
A tough, wonderfully acted story of tensions in the Church following the Vatican Two reforms. A very rewarding drama. All the above stars were nominated for Oscars.

Cheri (15) with Michelle Pfeiffer, Kathy Bates, Rupert Friend. Directed by Stephen Frears.
Elegant ,witty,with three splendid actors at the centre. Michelle Pfeiffer is at home as the belle époque beauty of Colette's eponymous novel.

Morris - A Life with Bells (12A) with Lucy Akhurst, Emily Bagshawe, Brodie Bass, Thomas Coombes, Derek Jacobi. Directed by Lucy Akhurst.
If you enjoy folk dance you must see this film. If you enjoy England you must see this film. If you enjoy laughing you must see this film. This film is a mocumentery in the tradition of This Is Spinal Tap and was well received by the Morris Dance community.
