Hi Guys,
We are nearing the end of term and you must all know what that means,
yes it is the famous (or should that be infamous) iCU Cinema All
Nighter. As usual we have a total of six films for your viewing
pleasure on Tuesday Night/Wednesday Morning. The lineup is as follows:
18:00 - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
20:30 - Taking Lives
22:30 - Kill Bill: Vol. 2
01:00 - The Station Agent
02:45 - Secret Window
04:45 - Van Helsing
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Joel (Jim Carrey) is stunned to discover that his girlfriend Clementine
(Kate Winslet) has had her memories of their tumultuous relationship
erased. Out of desperation, he contracts the inventor of the process,
Dr. Howard Mierzwaik (Tom Wilkinson), to have Clementine removed from
his own memory. But as Joel's memories progressively disappear, he
begins to rediscover their earlier passion. From deep within the
recesses of his brain, Joel attempts to escape the procedure. As Dr.
Mierzwiak and his crew (Kristen Dunst, Mark Ruffalo, Elijah Wood) chase
him through the maze of his memories, it's clear that Joel just can't
get her out of his head.
Taking Lives
A successful FBI profiler, Illeana Scott (Jolie), is summoned to help
out Canadian law enforcement in Montreal, to hunt down a serial killer
who assumes the lives and identities (hence the title) of the people he
kills as he travels across North America, which forces Illeana to adjust
to working in a strange city with a police team with which she doesn't
really fit in with. (Ethan Hawke plays a museum employee "deputized"
into acting as bait to lure the killer into a trap.)
Kill Bill: Volume 2
There were five on her list. Now it's three. O-Ren Ishii and Vernita
Green were the first to fall, now The Bride (Uma Thurman) is out to
finish the job by killing Elle Driver, Budd, and last of all, Bill
(David Carradine). If the final three aren't afraid now, they better
start, because she's coming for them. However, something has thrown off
her plans a bit. Her daughter (whom she was pregnant with as she was
getting married) is still alive. What affect this will have on her quest
for vengeance is unclear, but the question is, will The Bride have
actually succeeded in completing her ultimate goal, to kill Bill?
The Station Agent
When his only friend and co-worker dies, a young man born with dwarfism
moves to an abandoned train depot in rural New Jersey. Though he tried
to maintain a life of solitude, he is soon entangled with an artist who
is struggling with a personal tragedy and an overly-friendly Cuban hot
dog vendor.
Secret Window
Mort Rainey(Johnny Depp), a successful author, is passing through a hard
period in his life. After catching his wife sleeping with another man,
he divorces and moves away from the city to somewhere in the country.
One day a man appears at his door, presenting himself as John Shooter,
and accuses Mort of copying a story from him. Although Mort believes
things can be solved once he shows Shooter the original version, which
had appeared two years before Shooter's version [Shooter wrote his in
1997. Rainey's was published in early 1995.], he can't seem to be able
to get an original copy in the time limit set by Shooter. Strange things
start happening which prevent him from receiving the needed original and
Mort tries to find out who Shooter really is and if he is responsible
for the things which happen.
Van Helsing
During the late 19th century, famed monster hunter Dr. Gabriel Van
Helsing (Jackman) heads to Eastern Europe to battle with Count Dracula
(Roxburgh), the Wolf Man (Kemp), and Frankenstein's Monster (Hensley).
By his side is the ravishing Anna (Beckinsale), a member of a family
committed to ridding the world of evil.
Sorry for the length of the email, I just have one more thing to add, we
are also showing 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' and 'Van
Helsing' on Thursday 24th June, at 6:00pm and 8:30 pm respectively.
Thanks,
Toby

This week we have Starsky & Hutch and 50 First Dates for your viewing
pleasure.
Then it's All-Nighter time (oh, and the last week of term...) We've
fixed the times of all the films and they are posted below. Films will
be Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Taking Lives, Kill Bill: Vol.
2, The Station Agent, Secret Window, and Van Helsing. Tickets are sold
on the door (about 15mins. before) and will cost £3 for 1, £5 for 2, £7
for 3 and £10 for 4-6.
Starsky & Hutch is a movie based on the TV series of the same name. Set
in the 1970s in a metropolis called "Bay City," this is the tale of two
police detective partners, Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson (Owen Wilson), and
Dave Starsky (Ben Stiller), who always seem to get the toughest cases
from their boss, Captain Dobey, rely on omniscient street informer Huggy
Bear (Snoop Dogg) and race to the scene of the crimes in their souped-up
1974 Ford Torino hot rod. This story tells the story of their first big
case (as a prequel to the TV show), which involved a former college
campus drug dealer (Vince Vaughn) who went on to become a white collar
criminal. --imdb
In 50 First Dates Henry Roth (Adam Sandler) is a veterinarian living in
Hawaii who enjoys the company of vacationing women. He leaves the
playboy life behind after he falls for Lucy (Drew Barrymore), who
suffers from short-term memory loss. Since she can never remember
meeting him, Henry has to romance Lucy every single day and hope that
she falls for him. --imdb

Hi everyone
This week is the Week of the Dead (or Undead, rather).
Tuesday, 08 June
18:00 - Dawn of the Dead
20:15 - Shaun of the Dead
Thursday, 10 June
18:00 - Shaun of the Dead
20:15 - Dawn of the Dead
The first, Dawn of the Dead, is a remake of the 1978 George A. Romero
classic, and a "straight" Zombie film.
A young female nurse, named Anna, is caught in the middle of a
world-wide chaos as flesh-eating zombies begin rising up and taking over
the world and attacking the living. She escapes into the streets and is
rescued by a black police officer, named Kenneth. Together they find
shelter in a mall along with a group of other survivors. For a while
everything is ok, but pretty soon, they start running out of food, the
power goes out, and the dead keep finding ways to break through their
defenses. Realizing they're sitting ducks, they make a plan to head for
an island by using two armored mall shuttle buses to get across the sea
of zombies. (imdb)
Shaun of the Dead is a romantic-zombie-comedy from the UK, and as you
can guess, not quite so serious as Dawn of the Dead.
Shaun (Simon Pegg) is your below average thirty something who it seems
has no real goal in life. Lacking any real ambition. He drives his long
suffering girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) around the bend. He seems to
pay more attention to his fellow loser pals and housemates Ed (Nick
Frost)and Pete (Peter Serafinowicz). Other than his basic faults. Shaun
is other wise a decent enough sort. But soon realises how much Liz means
to him when with out warning. The undead begin to walk the earth (or to
shorten it down, Crouch End in London). Now it's a race against time for
Shaun to not only spring to the rescue of the girl he loves. But his
dear sweet Mum as well. After watching this. You'll never look at 'Dawn
of the Dead' the same way again. (imdb)
As you can see, 2 films that complement each other.
Also, don't forget next week, and our All-Nighter in the final week of term.
Tuesday, 15 June
18:00 - Starsky & Hutch
20:15 - 50 First Dates
Thursday, 17 June
18:00 - 50 First Dates
20:15 - Starsky & Hutch
Come along and have an enjoyable evening
Daniel
