The Roses<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New to the Roses next week, but not to the local circuit, are Ali & Ava<\/a><\/em> and Flee<\/a><\/em>, both described in earlier newsletters. There is also the bold commitment to showing the Academy Award Best Picture winner on Wednesday and Thursday. Let’s hope it is available and not buried on Netflix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guildhall<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next week the Guildhall has further screenings of Belfast<\/a>, Flee<\/a><\/em>, and Nightmare Alley<\/a><\/em>. Also, “back by popular demand” apparently, for three further showings is the Spielberg version of West Side Story<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cineworlds<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new films at The Cineworlds this week look to be The Bad Guys<\/em><\/a>, Ambulance<\/em><\/a>, The Worst Person in the World<\/em><\/a>, and Umma<\/a>.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bad Guys<\/em> is a DreamWorks<\/em> animated feature about a gang of animal outlaws, headed by a pickpocket wolf voiced by Sam Rockwell. Ambulance<\/em> is a Michael Bay action-heist farrago starring Jake Gyllenhaal, who must need the money. The Worst Person in the World<\/em> is a romantic comedy-drama by Joachim Trier about a young woman in Oslo with a rackety lifestyle. Good to see a foreign language film in the multiplexes, although Gloucester doesn’t get it. Umma<\/em> is some sort of horror about a Korean woman (Sandra Oh) living on a farm in America, who imports the body of her mother, only to find it interfering with her equilibrium in some supposedly spooky way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrying on from last week are The Phantom of the Open<\/a><\/em> and The Nan Movie<\/em><\/a>. Last week I was predictably rude about The Nan Movie <\/em>without even seeing it. Since then I have discovered that the film has no director credit, something explored in an entertaining article in a website called Bleeding Cool<\/a>. Anyone interested in the damage being done to the dying art of cinema by ignorant financiers need look no further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tivoli<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tivoli has Ambulance<\/em>, plus last week’s stuff. Yawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sherborne<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Sherborne has Sing 2<\/em>, Uncharted<\/em>, The Duke<\/em> and Batman<\/em> at various points during the week. Then on Friday it has The Bad Guys<\/em>, Cyrano<\/em>, and a one-off screening of Hannah More<\/em><\/a>, a film made by some Bristol filmmakers about one of that city’s heroines, an 18th century writer, social reformer and campaigner against the slave trade. The opening caption of the trailer tells us young Hannah is in Fishponds, my birthplace. But don’t let you put that off. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
