Lewes Cinema is deeply disappointed by the news that it will be evicted
from All Saints.
Firstly it is important to point-out that we were not consulted about this
AT ALL. We were given no opportunity to contribute to the decision.
We were given the news the same week as the local press - which is
unforgivable.
Having built-up the popular service for over 10 years the council are going
to make us leave All Saints and operate some sort of cinema service
themselves. This decision is apparently based on the false assumption that
there are 'large profits' in independent cinema which need to be 're-invested
in the community'.
The problem with this is that there are not large profits at all - in fact
sometimes we are lucky if there any profits. The council has based its
assumptions on false data.
If there are no large profits to be made why do we do it? It's a
labour-of-love! We like operating the service and the public likes what we do.
We have been completely overwhelmed by messages of support so-far and the
countless requests to launch a challenge/campaign against this unpopular and
unfair decision.
We will take advice this week and launch a campaign soon.. watch this
space!
There is a new criminal mastermind at large-Professor Moriarty
(Jared Harris)-and not only is he Holmes' intellectual equal, but his capacity
for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an
advantage over the renowned detective. When the Crown Prince of Austria is
found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan),
points to suicide. But Sherlock
Holmes deduces that the
prince has been the victim of murder-a murder that is only one piece of a
larger and much more portentous puzzle, designed by Professor Moriarty. The
cunning Moriarty is always one step ahead of Holmes as he spins a web of death
and destruction-all part of a greater plan that, if he succeeds, will change
the course of history.
Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a
best-selling phenomenon, The Help is the story of three very different, extraordinary
women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a
secret writing project about the injustices suffered by black domestic
housemaids, that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their
improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with
the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that
sometimes those lines are made to be crossed—even if it means bringing everyone
in town face-to-face with the changing times.
Deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humour and hope, "The Help" is a timeless
and universal story about the ability to create change.
MY WEEK WITH MARILYN is the true story of a star-struck boy who
falls in love with the biggest celebrity in the world, Marilyn Monroe. 23
year-old Colin Clark was determined to break into the film business and his
first job was The Prince and The Showgirl - the film that was set to be the
smash hit of the year famously uniting the biggest stars of the day, Marilyn
Monroe and Sir Laurence Olivier. On honeymoon in Britain with her new husband,
Arthur Miller, Marilyn is excited about the project but quickly becomes
desperate to run away from her Hollywood entourage, the pressures of work and
the press who hound her. For Marilyn, Colin is a welcome antidote and he
offers her everything she craves when, together, they escape the film set to
get closer in an idyllic Britain.
