Film Listings for Oct 5-11
Delighted to say that we will be taking 30 of you to the opening night of Skyfall in a couple of weeks. The tickets sold out in less than 24hrs, so sorry to those of you who missed out. We will be doing more events in the future so keep your eyes peeled. This week sees a small American indie film take the film of the week crown and a sequel to one of the biggest action films of recent time dominates the multiplexes.
Film of the Week
Liberal Arts* (2012, comedy drama, 97 mins)
Josh Radnor (Ted from 'How I met your mother') writes, directs and stars in this small American indie film about a college romance. With rising star Elizabeth Olsen and the Coen brothers regular Richard Jenkins. Perfect for a North London Sunday afternoon. Showing at the Everyman Hampstead and Maida Vale from Fri (for screen times see below).
Regular programme
The Tricycle Cinema
Looper
Decent sci-fi has been hard to come by this year (Total Recall and John Carter anyone?) but I'm pleased to say this bucks the trend. I thought it was a very solid popcorn flick, although not quite the masterpeice that some people would have you believe.
Fri-Thu 18:00, 20:45 (except Sun when 17:30, 20:00, ext screenings Fri at 14:30 and Sat at 15:30).
Berberian Sound Studio
Toby Jones (The Hunger Games, Tinker Tailor) takes the opportunity of a rare starring role in a film about the sound of horror. The film explores what happens when a sound engineer's work for an Italian horror studio becomes a terrifying case of life imitating art. Set against the backdrop of those amazing 70’s Italian giallo horror classics (Suspiria etc). Worth your time.
Sat 13:30, Sun 15:30
The Bourne Legacy
As a standard action film, it's fine, as the fourth film in the Bourne franchise, it falls well short of the first three.
Thu 14:30.
(£9.50 adult, £8.50 concessions, Mon £6 adult, £4.50 Brent resident).

Multiplexes
Finchley Road Vue
The Perks of Being a Wallflower* (2012, romantic drama, 103 mins)
The first break-out role post Harry Potter for Emma Watson is set in a high school. The plot involves an introvert freshman who is taken under the wings of two seniors who welcome him to the real world. Looks decent.
Taken 2* (2012, action, 91 mins)
Follow up to the ludicrously successful original from 2008. The word of mouth is amongst the worst seen for a film this year, unfortunately this is looking increasingly like a cynical cash in.
Sinister* (2012, horror, 110 mins)
Interesting looking horror with Ethan Hawke. Looks a cut above the rest.
The Knot* (2012, romantic comedy, 92 mins)
The one-man British film industry that is Noel Clarke returns with a romantic comedy set around a wedding day.

The latest Bollywood offering – part of the Vue’s new commitment to Indian cinema.
