Film Night Tonight

Posted in Events, Films, Memorial hall on Friday April 15, 2011| Leave a Comment »

From the director of Calendar Girls comes a new comedy-drama with an all-star British cast.

The film stars the award winning Sally Hawkins as Rita O’Grady, who is the catalyst for the 1968 Ford Dagenham strike by 187 sewing machinists which led to the advent of the Equal Pay Act. Working in extremely impoverished conditions and for long arduous hours, the women at the Ford Dagenham plant finally lay down their tools when they are reclassified as “unskilled”.

With humour, common sense and courage they take on their corporate paymasters, an increasingly belligerent local community, and finally the government itself. The leader of the women’s struggle is fast-talking, no nonsense Rita, whose fiery temper and occasionally hilarious unpredictability proves to be a match for any of her male opponents, and is echoed by Barbara Castle’s struggle in the male-dominated House of Commons.

The film stars a host of Britain’s finest acting talent, including Sally Hawkins (Happy-Go-Lucky, It’s A Wonderful Afterlife), Bob Hoskins (The Long Good Friday, Mona Lisa), Miranda Richardson (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), and Rosamund Pike (Pride & Prejudice, An Education).

In the warm and comfortable Parwich Memorial Hall on
Friday 15th April at 7.45pm.

Film Night: This Friday

Posted in Films on Monday March 14, 2011| Leave a Comment »

The amazing story of the creator of Facebook – Mark Zuckenberg, who changed the way that we interact with each other. It explores the moment at which the most revolutionary social phenomena of the new century, was invented — through the warring perspectives of the super-smart young men who each claimed to be the creators.

The result is a drama rife with both creation and destruction; one that audaciously avoids a single point of view, but instead, by tracking dueling narratives, mirrors the clashing truths and constantly morphing social relationships that define our time.

Drawn from multiple sources, the film captures the visceral thrill of the heady early days of a culture-changing phenomenon in the making — and the way it both pulled a group of young revolutionaries together and then split them apart.

*4 Oscars
*4 Golden Globe Gongs
*4 Best Picture Gongs

Click here for The Guardian’s review

“[The film] is riveting: it zips along, told mostly in flashback, and communicates the pure exhilaration of this momentous social gear-change with aplomb. Most remarkably, it’s staggering to realise the events depicted here occurred in 2005; it looks like ancient history.”

When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge’s intentions of driving off the native humanoid “Na’vi” in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na’vi people with the use of an “avatar” identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand – and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.
