Three Times (12A) Beautiful new flick from acclaimed director Hou Hsiao-Hsien (so good they named him thrice). Dave Chappelle’s Block Party (15) Nothing to do with dreary indie (drindie?) from New Cross, this is actually a documentary about chirpy Chappelle’s attempts to put on a musical/comedy extravanganza in Brooklyn. Or is the whole thing just a dream in director Michel Gondry’s spotless mind…
Stormbreaker (PG) Teenager Alex Rider decides he doesn’t want to hang out with his mates swearing and happy-slapping old folks but would rather, like, save the world. Such a nice boy.
Driving Lessons (15) Dodgy Britcom which follows a mugging Ron Weasley as he learns how to drive/have it orf. Awesome; I Fuckin’ Shot That! (15) Beastie Boys fans are given a ‘license to ill’ and allowed to film the aging hip-hoppers (or should that be ‘hip-replacement hoppers’?) in concert. We’re particularly impressed by the use of a fuckin’ semi colon in the title. Fuckin’ sterling work, lads. Fuck. Grizzly Man (15) Timmy met the bear, the bear met Timmy. The bear was bulgy,
the bulge was Timmy. The New World (12A) Colin Farrell plays second fiddle to a bunch of trees, birds and, uh, breezes in Terrence Malick’s latest.
History Boys (15) Teacher encourages lads to ditch full-time education and have lots of gay sex. Be warned though – by following that course of action you’ll inevitably end up working with us at the PRSD. Three Times (12A) See Plymouth Arts Centre. Unconscious (15) Charming period comedy from Joaquin Oristrell. Hey, Joaquin, there’s nuffin funny about periods, y’know. Bleugh! Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait (PG) Arty thing about a famous footballer running around and spitting and stuff. Red Road (18) Director Andrea Arnold’s newie was hugely acclaimed in Cannes, almost eclipsing her fantastic work in the Saturday morning kids’ show No 73.
Wot no Sandwich Quiz? Live Flesh (18) According to Cptn, this Almodovar classic’s title is actually pronounced ‘Blive Blesh’. Crash (15) Set in a world where all human interaction, even conversations between mother and daughter, are coloured by racial hatred. Donnie Darko (15) Eagerly-awaited sequel to the Jimmy Stewart comedy Harvey.
