SCREENING

SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD 6.00pm Based on the incredible graphic novels by Bryan Lee O’Malley, and directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz), Scott Pilgrim vs The World is a hilarious homage to the 8-bit gaming world, widely acclaimed as the best videogame film ever made. Scott Pilgrim is a 22 year old slacker who plays bass guitar for a garage band. When the dropdead gorgeous Ramona V. Flowers rollerblades into his life, Scott falls head over heels for her, but there’s a major catch: Ramona’s seven evil ex-boyfriends stand in his way, each one more violent and malicious than the last and all equally intent on obliterating her new love interest! DIR: EDGAR WRIGHT | USA | 2010 | 112 MINS | 12A
