Hello everyone,It’s the New Year and that means one thing… Awards season! Throughout January and February we will have the Golden Globes, the BAFTA’s and the Oscars. It’s a great time for film lovers as the years best films all get released and this year is no different.

As always, we’ll be playing all the major films in contention for awards. Starting with THE DANISH GIRL from director Tom Hooper (THE KINGS SPEECH, LES MISERABLES). Rumours are abound that this could finally be Leonardo Di Caprio’s year with THE REVENANT. There’s some light hearted relief in the form of Tina Fey & Amy Poehler’s comedy SISTERS.

Sylvester Stallone is tipped for the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in CREED, some forty years after he won his first Oscar for the original Rocky. SPOTLIGHT and THE BIG SHORT both have amazing ensemble casts. Speaking of great casts, don’t forget DAD’S ARMY on Feb 5 - a full roster of British talent!

There’s also some hugely acclaimed indie films vying for awards attention with ROOM, a tale of one mother and son trapped in a room making their escape into the real world. YOUTH starring Michael Caine & Harvey Keitel.

Alongside our usual season of Saturday Morning Pictures for kids we have the family film GOOSEBUMPS for the February half term.

My PiCkROOM is absolutely amazing and demands to be seen! If you’re after a crowd pleaser then try CREED. I am the most excited to see THE REVENANT. It looks fantastic.

in tHe Heart of tHe Sea (12a)WHO MADE iT?Ron Howard

WHO’S iN iT? Chris Hemsworth, Cillian Murphy, Brendan Gleeson

ANyTHiNG ELSE?USA/UK 2015. 122 mins

WHAT’S iT ABOUT?In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size and will, and an almost human sense of vengeance. The real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. But that told only half the story. “In the Heart of the Sea” reveals the encounter’s harrowing aftermath, as the ship’s surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to do the unthinkable to stay alive.

WHy SHOULD i SEE iT? Ron Howard is a great director and the Moby Dick story has not been told on film since John Huston and Gregory Peck in 1958. Dramatic, exciting and harrowing the film reveals the true story behind the myth. Chris Hemsworth really comes into his own as an actor.

rHapSody / tWo pigeonS

This delightful Frederick Ashton double bill opens with his setting of Rachmaninoff’s

Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, using the music’s

dark turbulence and brilliance to inspire some of his most

thrilling choreography. Witty, impassioned and sublime,

this ballet was the pinnacle of Ashton’s romantic style. The

second half of the programme features Ashton’s delicate, deceptively comic The Two

Pigeons - a work rarely performed and a real treat for

ballet fans everywhere.
