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...

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.
