Christoper Schobert.

Odeon Dorchester

Ticket to Paradise (2022). Julia Roberts and George Clooney. “I would believe Ticket to Paradise was found in a 1998 time capsule: the film has the naif and adorable romantic tone of that decade” Espinoff. Randy Meeks.

Cineworld Weymouth

Jackie Brown (1997). 25th Anniversary rerelease of the Quentin Tarantino classic. “Jackie Brown is about two-and-a-half hours long, but it zips by like a film half that length, and every second the iconic Pam Grier is on screen in her titular role as a money-smuggling flight attendant is a second worth relishing.” Nashville Scene. D. Patrick Rodgers.

Amazon Prime

Fury (2014). Brad Pitt stars as tank commander Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier. “This isn’t disposable popcorn entertainment, or a winking “war” film like Inglourious Basterds. Ayer’s aim here is a film that will stick, and stick with you. And he achieves it.” The Wrap. James Rocchi.

Giant adventures

CERNE ABBAS GRINTER is a giant. She lives alone in her huge, cold house, surrounded by vast snowy gardens, enclosed by high, frost-covered walls. She shuts out the world, because long ago the world shut her out. So she hides, safe and quiet in her icy home. Outside her towering walls, the world is changing and there is very little green left. But one day, some children, tired of playing on hard roads and rooftops, find a chink in the wall and climb through. Their brave adventure will change the course of their lives—and Grinter’s—for ever.

Tessa Bide and Soap Soup Theatre bring the story of The Selfish Giant to Cerne Abbas village hall on Wednesday 26th October at 3.30pm. This is a magical show with powerful storytelling, captivating puppetry, enchanting music and a sprinkling of magic, that the whole family will love.
