We recently had an onscreen proposal with one of our customers hiring a screen and delivering a private message video before the film, a grand gesture which was a success just going to prove that romance is still out there!
A couple of big films are released to coincide with the
Date Night and a scattering of event cinema productions too.

New Releases
Bob Marley: One Love
The latest music biopic and this one follows the career and influence of the reggae master.
In the late 1970s Bob is trying to use his fame and music to heal the rifts in Jamaican politics. The country is experiencing difficulties with violence and virtual civil war threatening the lives of all islanders.
Marley tries to find a peaceful way to reconcile his fellow Jamaican’s but his message of love often falls on deaf ears.
On one occasion an attempt to assassinate the musician and his wife soon makes the family take stock of the situation and make a life changing decision about the future.
Featuring all of Marley’s greatest hits and the film has been produced with the co-operation and blessing of his family so we are in for a real treat. Kingsley Ben Adir encapsulates Marley brilliantly and he is supported by the excellent Lashana Lynch as Rita.

Pat’s Film Club
Moonrise Kingdom and Harold and Maude
Another classic screening and this Sunday, February 18 has Pat’s Film Club delivering a double bill with Moonrise Kingdom and Harold and Maude.
Moonrise Kingdom is a Wes Anderson special when two somewhat isolated 12-year olds become friends and then fall in love, they take the drastic action of escaping to the wild to be together. The film has an amazing cast as usual with Bruce Willis, Bill Murray Frances McDormand and of course Tilda Swinton all on board.
Harold and Maude is the 1971 Hal Ashby movie that features a young man with a morbid fascination and a rather obsessive fascination with death. So much so he attends as many funerals as he possibly can.
On his regular outings he befriends Maude, another funeral goer, but one that likes to celebrate life and fast approaching eighty, Maude is trying to enjoy what time she has left. A very unusual friendship and bond develops between the two and they are opposites in so many ways but they somehow have a great understanding of one another.
