February Friday Film Night

An early warning to get February 26th into your diaries. On the 26th Friday Film Night will revert to its traditional pattern with a Family Film at 6pm, followed by an adult film at 8pm.

The family film will be The Good Dinosaur which had its premier on November 10th in Paris and was released in the UK on November 27th. The Good Dinosaur is a computer-animated comedy drama adventure produced by Pixar Animated Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Set in a world in which dinosaurs never went extinct, the film follows a young Apatosaurus named Arlo, who meets an unlikely human friend while travelling through a harsh and mysterious landscape. The film, along with inside out, marks the first time that Pixar has released two feature films in the same year.

The adult film will be Bridge of Spies, a historical drama thriller, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks as New York lawyer, James Donovan, and Mark Rylance as the Russian spy, Rudolf Abel. Based on the 1960 U-2 cold war spy plane incident in which the pilot, Gary Powers, was shot down and imprisoned by the Soviets. The film deals with the negotiations for a prisoner exchange for the KGB spy held in custody in the USA. The name of the film refers to the Glienicke Bridge which connects Potsdam with Berlin, where the spy exchange took place.

Just a reminder that there will be no children's film in January due to the length of the adult James Bond film, Spectre. Starting earlier at 7.15pm, should ensure that the film is finished soon after 10:00pm.
