Hi guys,
Sorry for the radio silence last week, I forgot to send out the weekly
email, I am sure some of you missed it. (Well probably not but I can
only hope) Anyway we have two great films for you this week which will
be unfortunately our last week of films for this term, except for a
special showing later on in the term of which I will provide more
information later. Without further delay here our our times for this week:
Tue, 15 Feb 18:00 - The Incredibles
Tue, 15 Feb 20:45 - House of Flying Daggers
Thu, 17 Feb 18:00 - House of Flying Daggers
Thu, 17 Feb 20:45 - The Incredibles
Here are the usual descriptions as ever provided by IMDb:
The Incredibles - IMDb Rating: 8.2
Mr. Incredible is a superhero; or he used to be, until a surge of
lawsuits against superheroes submitted by the people they've saved
forced the government to hide them in witness protection programs so
they could lead normal, anonymous lives. Now known exclusively by his
secret identity, Bob Parr, he lives with his wife Helen, formerly
Elastigirl, and their three children Violet, Dash, and Jack Jack. He
works as an insurance claims specialist, and he's fed up with his pushy
boss and his immoral profession, but his wife's worked too hard to build
a normal life for her family to abide his nostalia for heroism. When Mr.
Incredible's offered the chance to play the role of hero again by a
mysterious informant, he jumps at the opportunity, but when it turns out
to be a trap set by an old nemesis he had a hand in corrupting, the
whole family must reveal themselves to save Mr. Incredible and countless
innocents.
The House of Flying Daggers - IMDb Rating: 7.5
During the reign of the Tang dynasty in China, a secret organization
called "The House of the Flying Daggers" rises and opposes the
government. A police officer called Leo sends officer Jin to investigate
a young dancer named Mei, claiming that she has ties to the "Flying
Daggers". Leo arrests Mei, only to have Jin breaking her free in a plot
to gain her trust and lead the police to the new leader of the secret
organization. But things are far more complicated than they seem...
Thats all for now, thanks,
Toby

Hi guys,
Sorry for the lateness of this email but I forgot to do it over the weekend.
Anyway the films for this week are I Heart Huckabees and Enduring Love.
Please note these correct times as the posters are wrong for the 2nd
showing each day on the posters.
Tue, 01 Feb 18:00 - I Heart Huckabees
Tue, 01 Feb 20:30 - Enduring Love
Thu, 03 Feb 18:00 - Enduring Love
Thu, 03 Feb 20:15 - I Heart Huckabees
I Heart Huckabees
Determined to solve the coincidence of seeing the same conspicuous
stranger three times in a day, Albert hires a pair of existentialist
detectives, who insist on spying on his everyday life while sharing
their views on life and the nature of the universe.
Enduring Love
On a beautiful cloudless day a young couple celebrate their reunion with
a picnic. Joe has planned a postcard-perfect afternoon in the English
countryside with his partner, Claire. But as Joe and Claire prepare to
open a bottle of champagne, their idyll comes to an abrupt end. A hot
air balloon drifts into the field, obviously in trouble. The pilot
catches his leg in the anchor rope, while the only passenger, a boy, is
too scared to jump down. Joe and three other men rush to secure the
basket. Just as they secure the balloon, the wind rushes into the field,
and at once the rescuers are airborne. Joe manages to drop to the
ground, as do most of his companions, but one man is lifted skywards. As
Joe, Claire and the other rescuers watch this strangely beautiful sight,
they see the man fall to his death. Recalling the day's events at dinner
with his friends Robin and Rachel, Joe reveals the impact the accident
has had on his battered psyche. Ironically the balloon eventually lands
safely, the boy unscathed. But fate has far more unpleasant things in
store for Joe. Going to retrieve the body of the fallen man with fellow
rescuer Jed Parry, for example, turns out to be a very bad move. Jed
feels an instant connection with Joe--one that, as the weeks go by,
becomes ever more intense.
Also for the next two weeks we have:
Tue, 08 Feb 18:00 - Napoleon Dynamite
Tue, 08 Feb 20:00 - Garden State
Thu, 10 Feb 18:00 - Garden State
Thu, 10 Feb 20:30 - Napoleon Dynamite
Tue, 15 Feb 18:00 - The Incredibles
Tue, 15 Feb 20:45 - House of Flying Daggers
Thu, 17 Feb 18:00 - House of Flying Daggers
Thu, 17 Feb 20:45 - The Incredibles
But after them there is no more for the rest of the term unfortunately
as other societies are using the concert hall.
Thanks,
Toby
