Its that Friday Night Again

Yes, this coming Friday is once again Friday Film Night.

This Friday's Family Film is Kung Fu Panda 3. Just in case you are interested this is a synopsis of the story – In 2016, one of the most successful animated franchises in the world returns with its biggest comedy adventure yet, KUNG FU PANDA 3. When Po's long-lost panda father suddenly reappears, the reunited duo travels to a secret panda paradise to meet scores of hilarious new panda characters. But when the supernatural villain Kai begins to sweep across China defeating all the kung fu masters, Po must do the impossible-learn to train a village full of his fun-loving, clumsy brethren to become the ultimate band of Kung Fu Pandas!

Perhaps more importantly for number three in the franchise, it wowed 86% of the critics who considered it had the requisite visual splendour, but like its rotund protagonist, this sequel's narrative was also surprisingly nimble, adding up to animated fun for the whole family. Starting at 6.00 pm, doors open at 5.30 pm, the run time is 1hour 40 minutes.

The adult film is the feature length remake of "Dad's Army" and as such really needs no introduction. The original TV series is still a popular feature of Saturday night viewing. In this new film, with Toby Jones taking the part of Captain Mainwaring, it is 1944 and World War II is reaching its climax. The Allies are poised to invade France and finally defeat the German army. But in Walmington-on-Sea morale amongst the Home Guard is low. Their new mission then – to patrol the Dover army base – is a great chance to revive spirits and reputation, that is until glamorous journalist Rose Winters arrives to write about their exploits, setting the pulses racing and putting the local women on red alert. MI5 then discover a radio signal sent direct to Berlin from Walmington-on-Sea. There's a spy on the loose! The outcome of the war is suddenly at stake, and it falls to our unlikely heroes to stand up and be counted. Starting at 8.00 pm, doors open at 7.30 pm, the run time 1 hour 40 minutes.
