THE WELLS FILM CENTRE STORY
WELCOME W
e already know that 2017 is going to be a stunning year for films, and there are some massive blockbusters heading your way very soon. We’re happy to say though, that February seems to have its fair share of gems, too. Take the superb Manchester by the Sea for example. And the two war movies, Hacksaw Ridge and Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk both show the raw humanity of war that rarely gets put onto the big screen.
FEBRUARY 2017
On a slightly different note, those who loved The Lego Movie will adore The Lego Batman Movie. To find out showtimes for any of our films or Event Cinema, head to www.wellsfilmcentre.co.uk, check us out on Facebook, or ring us on 01749 673195 and we’ll be glad to help. Hope you enjoy the magazine, and see you in the cinema soon. Sally Cooper Proprietor, Wells Film Centre

Originally a village hall and scout hut, Derek built the cinema up from a single screen to the three state-of-the-art digital screens it now houses. In the last couple of years, Derek has passed the management of the Wells Film Centre over to his daughters Sally, Becky and Libby, who share Derek’s passion for film and will ensure that the Wells Film Centre remains a family business that the whole community can enjoy.

fter the success of The Lego Movie in 2014, a sequel was always going to happen. What wasn’t expected though, was that we’d also get a spin-off movie, too. And if you’ve seen any of the trailers for The Lego Batman Movie then you’ll be reassured to know that

it’s every bit as hilarious as the film that spawned it. As the trailers don’t seem to give much away, little is known of the film’s plot – apart from Batman having to stop The Joker from taking over Gotham. What got our Bat-juices really flowing though, was the list of supporting cast joining them. So you can expect to see the Lego versions of Harley Quinn, Bane, The Riddler, Two-Face, Catwoman, Poison Ivy and The Penguin. With a script every bit as sharp as the original Lego Movie, this could quite possibly be one of the funniest films you’ll see all year.

AMADEUS
STARRING The Royal Ballet CERT 12A RELEASE 8th Feb (7.15pm) LENGTH 180 minutes
STARRING Lucian Msamati CERT 12A RELEASE 2nd Feb (7pm) LENGTH 210 minutes
Wayne McGregor’s ballet triptych Woolf Works, inspired by the writings of Virginia Woolf, met with outstanding critical acclaim on its premiere in 2015. Each of the three acts springs from one of Woolf’s landmark novels: Mrs Dalloway, Orlando and The Waves – but these inspirations are also enmeshed with elements from her letters, essays and diaries.
Lucian Msamati (Luther, Game of Thrones, NT Live: The Comedy of Errors) plays Salieri in Peter Shaffer’s iconic play, broadcast live from the National Theatre, and with live orchestral accompaniment by Southbank Sinfonia. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a rowdy young prodigy, arrives in Vienna, the music capital of the world – and he’s determined to make a splash. Awestruck by his genius, court composer Antonio Salieri has the power to promote his talent or destroy his name. Seized by obsessive jealousy he begins a war with Mozart, with music, and ultimately, with God. After winning multiple Olivier and Tony Awards when it had its premiere at the National Theatre in 1979, Amadeus was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film.
SAINT JOAN STARRING Gemma Arterton CERT 12A RELEASE 16 Feb (7pm) LENGTH 180 minutes Joan: daughter, farm girl, visionary, patriot, kingwhisperer, soldier, leader, victor, icon, radical, witch, heretic, saint, martyr, woman.

Margot Fonteyn danced the role of the beautiful Princess Aurora in the first performance, with Robert Helpmann as Prince Florimund. The masterful 19th-century choreography of Marius Petipa is combined with sections created for The Royal Ballet by Frederick Ashton, Anthony Dowell and Christopher Wheeldon.

n Saturday April 29 the Wells Film Centre will be showing a Special Needs Screening of The Lego Batman Movie as part of Wells Festival of Film 2017. The screening starts at 11am (doors open at 10.30am) and tickets are completely free! To book your places, either pop into the cinema or call them on 01749 673195. Many parents say they find going to a public show difficult as some children (and adults) with special needs have sensory sensitivities to sound and light. For Special Needs-Friendly Screenings the soundtrack is turned down a little and the house lights remain on low in the auditorium. If anyone makes a noise or moves around then that is absolutely fine.
FILM SHOT IN WELLS RELEASED NEXT MONTH
I
f you remember, last year we brought you pictures of the film Another Mother’s Son, which stars Ronan Keating, John Hannah and Sherlock’s Amanda Abbington, and was shot in Wells, Priddy, Cranmore and Bath. Well now the film is finished and will be released next month. From Friday, March 24 it’ll be screened at the Wells Film Centre, and we’ve got a very special event planned, too.

HEALTH & VITALITY MOVE BETTER, FEEL FREE Is your physical activity becoming limited? Does your body have aches and pains that it didn’t used to? Do you want your body to move and feel better? The NHS, Age UK and GPs all agree that staying active is important for health and well-being. So too, is how we move, and being conscious of the quality of our movements. Movement is a fundamental part of life, our bodies, and how we move are a reflection of our life experiences. Lifestyle, age, injuries, operations and pain all inform our movements, especially the latter. Pain is often the focal point to tell us something is not quite right, what then? How often do you keep going, push through it, or not even feel it until is stops, or interrupts you in your everyday activities? How you move, the quality, your focus and intension are all important. There are many different activities you can do to get active but how do you learn to move better? There is no easy fix it takes time and effort but it can be done.
Update your action plan, and continue with sessions and keep moving.
