On the Basis of Sex CERTIFICATE 12A RUNNING TIME 120 MINUTES START TIME 7.45 PM |
|
|
The true story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, her struggles for equal rights, and the early cases of a historic career that lead to her nomination and confirmation as U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice. Ruth’s ultimate triumph against overwhelming odds is never in any doubt at all. Her secret powers come from studying and from always being the best-prepared student in the classroom or counsel in the court. Leder’s achievement is to have made such a rousing drama from such a dry storyline.
“On the Basis of Sex” does a brisk, coherent job of articulating what Ginsburg accomplished and why it mattered, dramatizing both her personal stake in feminist legal activism and the intellectual discipline with which she approached it. New York Times |

Call of the Wild CERTIFICATE PG RUNNING TIME 100 MINUTES START TIME 7.45 PM |
|
|
Buck is a big-hearted dog whose blissful domestic life gets turned upside down when he is suddenly uprooted from his California home and transplanted to the exotic wilds of the Alaskan Yukon in the 1890s. As the newest rookie on a mail-delivery dog sled team, Buck experiences the adventure of a lifetime as he ultimately finds his true place in the world.
[Harrison] Ford acts with pure soul here (he also narrates the film with his lovely storybook growl); it’s a minimalist performance, mostly very reactive, but the saintly gruffness of Ford’s thick-gray-bearded, sad-eyed presence helps to nudge Buck to life as a character. “The Call of the Wild” turns into a movie about a difficult but devoted dog and the master who’s a bit of a lonely old mutt himself. For all the wholesome cheesiness of much of the film, you’d have to have a pretty hard heart not to be touched by it. Variety |

Top Gun Maverick CERTIFICATE 12 RUNNING TIME 131 MINUTES START TIME 7.45 PM |
|
|
After more than 30 years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. Training a detachment of graduates for a special assignment, Maverick must confront the ghosts of his past and his deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who choose to fly it.
Irresistible Tom Cruise soars in a blockbuster sequel. The Guardian Top Gun Maverick is an awesome action film that lives up to the original film and way superior as well. It is one awesome thrill ride that will have the audiences gasping for air with its exhilarating aerial combat scenes. imdb |

|
|
In 1950s London, a widowed cleaning lady falls madly in love with a couture Dior dress, deciding she must have one of her own. After working to raise the funds to pursue her dream, she embarks on an adventure to Paris that will change not only her own outlook -- but the very future of the House of Dior.
Manville [Mrs Harris] is utterly convincing as a wide-eyed chirpy cleaner who comes into money and sets her heart on a Dior dress in this 1950s-set charmer The Guardian |

Phantom of the Open CERTIFICATE 12A RUNNING TIME 102 MINUTES START TIME 7.45 PM |
|
|
Amateur golfer Maurice Flitcroft achieves his late-in-life goal of participating in the British Open Golf Championship, much to the ire of the staid golfing community.
A wonderful, witty, heart warming gem of a film that will have you shouting at the screen for the (under)dog to have his day. Mark Rylance is utterly spellbinding as the would-be professional golfer Maurice Flitcroft, who dons more disguises over the years than Inspector Clouseau in order to dupe his way into The Open. This unbelievable tale is made even more delicious by the fact that it is based on a true story. Whether you are a fan of golf or not, no matter. It would take a hardened heart to be untouched by this marvellous movie Google.com Mark Rylance stars in this amiably daft film about real-life golfing eccentric Maurice Flitcroft, who gatecrashed the British Open in the 70s The Guardian |
