Hey all, Just a quick reminder that this Saturday we are showing the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The box office opens at 13:45 and the first film starts at 14:00 and the last film will finish around 00:40. Tickets will cost £7 before the first film, £5 before the second film and £3 before the third film. There will be an intermission about half way through each film (toilet break and a chance to top-up the drink at the bar). This is an excellent way to recover from the Summer Ball (not too early, and not too taxing). I suggest you bring a pillow (to sit on if nothing else!) If you can't make Saturday or are only interested in watching Return of the King we will be showing it again on Tuesday and Thursday at 18:00. The schedule is as follows: Sat, 22 May 14:00 - Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 17:45 - Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 21:15 - Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Tue, 25 May 18:00 - Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Thu, 27 May 18:00 - Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Tue, 01 Jun 18:00 - Cold Mountain 21:15 - House of Sand and Fog Thu, 03 Jun 18:00 - House of Sand and Fog 20:45 - Cold Mountain Tue, 08 Jun 18:00 - Dawn of the Dead 20:15 - Shaun of the Dead Thu, 10 Jun 18:00 - Shaun of the Dead 20:15 - Dawn of the Dead See you all there, Tim -- iCU Cinema Beit Quad Prince Consort Road South Kensington London SW7 2BB Phone: 020 7594 8098 Fax: 020 7594 8065 email: cinema(a)imperial.ac.uk web page: http://union.imperial.ac.uk/cinema

02 May '04

Hi guys, We have two great films for you this week, School of Rock and American Splendor. Also don't forget we have the Lord of the Rings Trilogy on the 22nd of May! Tue, 04 May 18:00 - School of Rock Tue, 04 May 20:30 - American Splendor Thu, 06 May 18:00 - American Splendor Thu, 06 May 20:30 - School of Rock School of Rock: Hell-raising guitarist with delusions of grandeur Dewey Finn (Jack Black) has been kicked out of his band. Desperate for work, he impersonates a substitute teacher and turns a class of fifth grade high-achievers into high-voltage rock and rollers. American Splendor: Harvey Pekar is file clerk at the local VA hospital. His interactions with his co-workers offer some relief from the monotony, and their discussions encompass everything from music to the decline of American culture to new flavors of jellybeans and life itself. At home, Harvey fills his days with reading, writing and listening to jazz. Harvey meets Robert Crumb, a greeting card artist and music enthusiast. When, years later, Crumb finds international success for his underground comics, the idea that comic books can be a valid art form for adults inspires Harvey to write his own brand of comic book. An admirer of naturalist writers like Theodore Dreiser, Harvey makes his American Splendor a truthful, unsentimental record of his working-class life, a warts-and-all self portrait. First published in 1976, the comic earns Harvey cult fame throughout the 1980s and eventually leads him to the sardonic Joyce Barber, a partner in a Delaware comic book store who end ups being Harvey's true soul mate as they experience the bizarre byproducts of Harvey's cult celebrity stature. Also here is the timetable for the rest of the term: Tue, 25 May 18:00 - Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Thu, 27 May 18:00 - Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Tue, 01 Jun 18:00 - Cold Mountain Tue, 01 Jun 21:15 - House of Sand and Fog Thu, 03 Jun 18:00 - House of Sand and Fog Thu, 03 Jun 20:45 - Cold Mountain Tue, 08 Jun 18:00 - Dawn of the Dead Tue, 08 Jun 20:15 - Shaun of the Dead Thu, 10 Jun 18:00 - Shaun of the Dead Thu, 10 Jun 20:15 - Dawn of the Dead Thanks, Toby -- iCU Cinema Beit Quad Prince Consort Road South Kensington London SW7 2BB Phone: 020 7594 8098 Fax: 020 7594 8065 email: cinema(a)imperial.ac.uk web page: http://union.imperial.ac.uk/cinema

[Cinema-List] Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.
by Cinema 23 Apr '04

23 Apr '04

Welcome back everyone. During the break we went out and bought ourselves a brand new projector! Come along and see what we spent £20k of the Union's money on. So, not only do we have a big screen and top of the range audio system, we now have a high-end projector better than ones found in normal cinemas! The first weeks' film are an interesting pair with a Japanese theme as we have Lost in Translation and The Last Samurai for your viewing pleasure. I'm also please to announce that we are planning to show all three Lord of the Rings films on May 22nd (so look out for more information). Lost in Translation ------------------- Tuesday, 27th April 18:00 Thursday, 29th April 21:15 Bob Harris (played by Bill Murray) is an American film actor, far past his prime. He visits Tokyo to appear in commercials, and he meets Charlotte (Scarlett Johannson), the young wife of a visiting photographer. Bored and weary, Bob and Charlotte make ideal if improbable traveling companions. Scarlet is looking for "her place in life," and Bob is tolerating a mediocre stateside marriage. Both separately and together, they live the experience of the American in Tokyo. Bob and Charlotte suffer both confusion and hilarity due to the cultural and language differences between themselves and the Japanese. As the relationship between Bob and Charlotte deepens, they come to the realization that their visits to Japan, and one another, must soon end. Or must they? --imdb The Last Samurai ---------------- Tuesday, 27th April 20:30 Thursday, 29th April 18:00 American War Captain Nathan Algren (Cruise) trains and leads a group of Japanese soldiers to defeat a rebellion of the countries remaining Samurai. Algren is captured by the Samurai and soon becomes part of the village he is being held hostage in and finds that his true warrior is becoming unleashed as he trains to become a Samurai with the very people we once called his enemies. Soon, the Japanese forces begin to search for the Samurai again... ready to begin a war with them that will soon determine the fate of Japanese traditions, and their lives. --imdb The schedule for most of the rest of the term is: Tue, 04 May 18:00 - School of Rock 20:30 - American Splendor Thu, 06 May 18:00 - American Splendor 20:30 - School of Rock Tue, 25 May 18:00 - Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Thu, 27 May 18:00 - Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Tue, 01 Jun 18:00 - Cold Mountain 21:15 - House of Sand and Fog Thu, 03 Jun 18:00 - House of Sand and Fog 20:45 - Cold Mountain Tue, 08 Jun 18:00 - Dawn of the Dead 20:15 - Shaun of the Dead Thu, 10 Jun 18:00 - Shaun of the Dead 20:15 - Dawn of the Dead See you soon, Tim -- iCU Cinema Beit Quad Prince Consort Road South Kensington London SW7 2BB Phone: 020 7594 8098 Fax: 020 7594 8065 email: cinema(a)imperial.ac.uk web page: http://union.imperial.ac.uk/cinema

[Cinema-List] What kind of restaurant makes you cook your own food?
by Cinema 06 Feb '04

06 Feb '04

Hi Guys, We have two 'arty' films for you next week as part of the Arts Festival Week. We also have Paycheck showing as part of Picocon on Saturday. I am happy to announce that during the Easter Break the cinema is having a brand new projector installed (at the cost of around £20k), so these next few weeks are the last showings for our lovely old projector. Our time table is: Sat, 07 Feb 20:00 - Paycheck (Picocon) Tue, 10 Feb 18:00 - Buffalo Soldiers Tue, 10 Feb 20:15 - Bright Young Things Thu, 12 Feb 18:00 - Bright Young Things Thu, 12 Feb 20:15 - Buffalo Soldiers Buffalo Soldiers ---------------- 1989. The Berlin Wall is about to fall, and the world is about to be made safe for the new world order. But outside of Stuttgart, West Germany, at Theodore Roosevelt Army Base, Specialist Ray Elwood of the 317th Supply Battalion (Joaquin Phoenix) is about to find his own cold war turn white hot. Elwood's a lovable rogue, a conscript who's managed to turn his military servitude into a blossoming network of black market deals, more out of boredom than ambition. Officially, there's his day job as battalion secretary to the inept but caring Commander Wallace Berman (Ed Harris). On the side, there's everything from selling the locals stolen Mop'N'Glo to cooking heroin for the base's ruthless head of Military Police, Sgt. Saad. When a new top sergeant (Scott Glenn) arrives, with the avowed intention of cleaning the base up, Elwood thinks the new blood is nothing he can't handle, especially after he lays eyes on the top's daughter, rebellious Robyn (Anna Paquin). But that was before he figured in the $5 million in stolen arms that just landed on his lap, Berman's jealous wife, an insane Turkish drug dealer, and, of course, the resulting lust, betrayal, and murder. --imdb: http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0252299/ Bright Young Things ------------------- The first film directed by Stephen Fry this film is an adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's novel "Vile Bodies". It is a look into the lives of a young novelist, his would-be lover, and a host of young people who beautified London in the 1930s. --imdb: http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0325123/ After that we have a week of unconfirmed films and the rest of the term off except for a preview of The Girl Next Door. We are also pleased to bring you a preview of The Girl Next Door on March 12th. Tickets will be free and more details will be provided when available.
