Top Six at the Flix

Plaza Cinema Dorchester

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) is the follow-up to Cameron’s 2009 sci-fi blockbuster which remains the highestgrossing film of all time. It stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña and Sigourney Weaver, and is set more than a decade later than Avatar.

I Wanna Dance with Somebody (2022)

Directed by Kasi Lemmons (“Harriet”) from a screenplay by Anthony McCarten, the writer behind biopics such as Darkest Hour and Bohemian Rhapsody, the film has Naomie Ackie playing Houston, the late iconic R&B singer whose hit song inspired the title.

The Electric Palace Bridport The Banshees of Inisherin ( 2022)

‘Like In Bruges, The Banshees of Inisherin is a dark movie that is often downright hilarious.’ Uproxx. Mike Ryan

The Lost King (2022)

‘Like so many of Stephen Frears’ films, The Lost King works because of the compelling cast on hand.’ Collider Ross Bonaime.

Amazon Prime Easy A (2010)

A breakout film for Emma Stone. ‘It’s a funny, engaging comedy that takes the familiar but underrated Emma Stone and makes her, I believe, a star.’ Chicago SunTimes. Roger Ebert.

Mubi Talking About Trees (2019)

This poignant and witty documentary focuses on four directors whose careers were stalled by a military coup thirty years ago… Talking About Trees follows their mission to reopen a neglected outdoor movie theatre near Khartoum. What unfolds is a rather lovely poetic portrait of male friendship, cinephilic obsession and elegant dignity. The Guardian. Cath Clarke

Charlie Bicknnell’s Snow Angel puts some sassy style into festive fun

Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected, it is definitely not an evening for the faint-hearted!

Twisted Christmas is also at Winterborne Stickland’s Pamela Hambro Hall, on Friday 2nd December at 7.30pm. Both performances are promoted by Artsreach.

She’s no angel

LYME REGIS AND SWANAGE CABARET artist Charlie Bicknell comes to the Marine Theatre at Lyme Regis on Friday 2nd December and the Mowlem Theatre at Swanage on Friday 9th with her subversive, anarchic, and darkly hilarious show, Snow Angel.

Forget the usual festive fare, pantomimes, The Snowman and the poor little drummer boy, Snow Angel is a comic cabaret featuring Charlie, a diva, temptress, vocal sensation and acrobat, with singer Louise Innes and pianist David Harrod.

It’s a madcap, joyous and at times preposterous evening of festive frivolity with a sparkle of magic. From Michael Bublé and Tiny Tim to Frozen mashups and a tiny Eskimo—Santa will never seem the same!

Charlie Bicknell became a household name playing Delilah in BBC2’s This Life and subsequently starred as Scout in Ben Elton’s West End hit Popcorn. While continuing to work as an actress at the National Theatre and rep around the UK, she moved into cabaret and circus, performing all over the world.

Louise Innes is a versatile operatic mezzo soprano, who has sung at Covent Garden, Scottish Opera and the Festival Hall.

Snow Angel is also at Sturminster Marshall’s Memorial Hall on Saturday 10th December, also at 7.30pm.
