NxNW6 film listings October 12-18th

Time again for the weekly West Hampstead film round-up brought to you by Mark - the Werner Herzog of NW6 (tweeting at @NxNW6).

Film Listings for Oct 12-18
This week’s round up includes the new film from local lad Tim Burton, the adaptation of a classic novel and news of an Oscar winner in town.

Film of the Week

On the Road* (2012, drama, 124 mins)

Adapation of the classic Jack Kerouac novel from Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries) starring Kristen Stewart and Viggo Mortensen. Notoriously difficult to put on film, the early word is that Walter may just have managed it. Great to see it getting such a wide release as well.
Showing from Fri at The Tricycle Cinema, Everyman Maida Vale, Everyman Belsize Park, Finchley Road Vue and the Swiss Cottage Odeon.

One-off screenings
Rust & Bone Q&A with Marion Cotillard - Sun 14, 18:15, Everyman Belsize Park £22
Preview of the new film from Jacques Audiard (A Prophet) followed by a Q&A from its Oscar-winning star. This event is sold out, but there are usually some returns on the day so it is worth checking if you missed out.
Led Zeppelin – Celebration Day Wed 17, 20:00 Finchley Road Vue £10.
Film of the now legendary concert at the O2 in 2007.
The Rolling Stones – Crossfire Hurricane Thu 18, 18:15, Finchley Road Vue, £12
Live feed from the London Film Festival as The Rolling Stones arrive on the red carpet and then introduce the new documentary ‘Crossfire Hurricane’. The film celebrates their 50 years together as a band.

Multiplexes

Finchley Road Vue
Frankenweenie 3D* (2012, animation horror, 87 mins).
Tim Burton project that was originally made 25 years ago as a Disney short but never released. Frankenweenie concerns a science experiment that brings a dog back to life but, as ever with Tim Burton, there are monstrous consequences. A 2D version will be released from October 18th to play alongside the 3D version. Bit cynical.
Ruby Sparks* (2012, romantic comedy, 104 mins)
The makers of 'Little Miss Sunshine' return with an odd fantasy film about a novelist with writers block who creates a woman into existence. Surely just a poor man's 'Weird Science'? With Paul Dano, Annette Bening and Antonio Banderas.
Pusher* (2012, crime thriller, 89 mins)
Unnecessary British remake of Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn’s first film from 1996. You would be better off hunting down the Danish original on DVD.
Hotel Transylvania* (2D & 3D 2012, animation, 91 mins).
Dracula animated film for the half-term with Adam Sandler.
On the Road*
Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted* (2D & 3D previews Sat & Sun only, more next week).
