Saturday 15th February The Critic
(2023)15 (DRAMA/CRIME/MYSTERY)
Director: Anand Tucker
With Ian McKellen, Mark Strong, Lesley Manville, Gemma Arterton
Runtime: 95 mins
​
Set in 1930s London, The Critic revolves around a feared theatre critic named Jimmy Erskine (Ian McKellen), his loyal assistant, a newspaper owner (Mark Strong) who wants to get rid of the critic, and an actress (Gemma Arterton) who has been devastated by his excoriating theatrical reviews.
The critic's determination to survive ensures that the other characters are caught in a web of blackmail, deceit and murder.
​
WHY WATCH THIS FILM? For the fantastic cast.
“McKellen . . . relishes another devious character to sink his teeth into, devouring every scene, a deliciously caustic turn that will provide him with nothing but the finest notices.” The Guardian
​
“This period drama may be a bit slow during some scenes, but the devious dark plot is such a pleasant surprise the payoff is worth it. On top of that, The Critic has a beautiful score, excellent set design, and great cinematography.” Film Threat

Saturday 29th March Gladiator II
(2024) 15 (ACTION EPIC)
​
Director: Ridley Scott With Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington Runtime: 148 mins
After his North African home is conquered by the tyrannical twin emperors who now lead Rome, Lucius (Paul Mescal) is forced to enter the Colosseum as a gladiator under the control of Macrinus (Denzel Washington). He must look to his past to find strength to return the glory of Rome to its people.
​
WHY WATCH THIS FILM?
At 86, Ridley Scott probably doesn’t have many more epics in him!
“The movie’s vitality gets a boost when it steps out from the original’s shadow, as it does with gusto whenever Denzel Washington is onscreen. He turns in a lip-smacking performance as Macrinus, a Machiavellian former slave now living in high style off the profits of his stable of gladiators and patiently plotting a secret agenda to acquire greater wealth and power. . . Washington brings such blinding charisma, steely authority and sly humor to the role that his self-made man with a devious plan is very much his own character, one almost worthy of a standalone film.” The Hollywood Reporter
“What could have been a ponderous, predictable sequel to a much-loved Oscar-winner instead turns out to be a fun romp. However Gladiator II fares this awards season, it’s a hell of a ride.” Empire
“Scott’s return to the Roman arena is something of a repeat, but it’s still a thrilling spectacle and Mescal a formidable lead. We are entertained.” The Guardian
