Arthouse roundup: Dec 15-21
Follow the main cinema links for dates, times and matinee screenings.
Follow the title links for movie details, friendship and maybe more.
The Art Of Breaking Up (U) Farce and furious French comedy - yes, we thought the term ‘French comedy’ was an oxymoron too.
A Scanner Darkly (15) An animated Keanu Reeves (hey, there’s a first time for everything) gets, like, totally bummed out in this excellent screen version of Philip K. Dick’s paranoid wheeze. Uh, dude.
Oklahoma! (U) So good, it’s got an exclamation mark in the title.
Hoodwinked (U) Gimcrack animated Red Riding Hood spoof. Grimm? You’re fucken right it is.
A Good Year (12A) Probably has a scene where Russell Crowe carries
a baguette.
The Departed (18) I’d rather Jack… Old man Nicholson steals the show in this perfectly acceptable policier - acceptable if you haven’t seen Infernal Affairs, that is.
Happy Feet (U) Animated flick warning of the perils of global warming, by way of a dancing penguin. Eat your heart out, Al Gore.
The Holiday (12A) Wifeswap chick flick from the person behind What Women Want. You don’t seriously need any more details than that, do you?!
Future Shorts December 2006 Programme (15) A host of films from those lovely Future Shorts johnnies.
