QUANTUM OF SOLACE (12A)-

Quantum of Solace is the first time that the plot of a Bond film follows on directly from a previous film, Casino Royale (2006). There James Bond was betrayed by Vesper, the first woman he ever falls in love with (the second being Tracy, who is murdered on their wedding day at the end of Her Majesty’s Secret Service) who then kills herself, despite her love for him.

THIS is a sort of 21st century Christmas Carol, but though melancholy it does have a comic and romantic theme.
THE HOUSE BUNNY (PG)

WHEN the star of this show says "The eyes are the nipples of the face" you pretty much know what you are in for - girlie giggles all the way.

Mamma Mia! - How can I resist ya?
12:25pm Thursday 3rd July 2008
MAMMA MIA! (PG) AT the time I remembered wondering how on earth they were going to make a stage musical around Abba songs, and then being blown away with the result. The show was delightfully jolly with the audience singing along to all their favourite songs. The three women who created that worldwide smash stage hit were director Phyllida Lloyd, screenwriter Catherine Johnson, and producer Judy Craymer, and again they gather together only this time to bring it to the big screen.
THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL (12A)
10:52am Wednesday 12th March 2008
WHY is it that three quintessentially English roles have gone to a couple of Americans and one Australian? Having just won two substantial Oscars this year it must be plain for any idiot to see that Britain has talent. So when this film's director Justin Chadwick says they were just perfect for the roles because "they're great actors", it sticks in my craw. Though it is fair to say the Australian Cate Blanchett did a fine job as Queen Elizabeth I, I still think that it is insulting to Americans to assume they would be unable to cope with an unknown name in the lead, but it is an even greater insult to us. We have a treasure trove of talent in this country that is struggling to get noticed in a profession in which 88% are out of work. But we also have a myriad of big names as well, so shame on you Mr. Chadwick.
