It just keeps getting better and better. Last week played with a range of our emotions. We learnt the truth behind the arrival of the much loved Mary Poppins, the secret obsession of heart throb Joseph Gordon Levitt, the brutal truth behind an arranged marriage to someone old enough to be your grandfather, oh and not forgetting the wonderful round up to the week with Frozen in 2D and 3D that was sure to bring out your inner child.
This week it’s set to happen all over again as we bring to you a variety of genres ranging from Thriller The Family to yet another marvelous Audience Choice; a cartoon animation chosen by none other than yourselves.

Our film in partnership with Phoenix this week is The Big City. After getting a job as a salesperson, life at home changes forever for a housewife from a middle-class, conservative family in Calcutta.

Saturday 8th March at 7pm (3D) and Sunday 9th March at 8pm (2D) : The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug
After what seems like forever, the second part of The Hobbit is finally here! After successfully crossing over (and under) the Misty Mountains, Bilbo Baggins with the aid of Thorin and company must seek aid from a powerful stranger before taking on the dangers of Mirkwood Forest. Of course, this isn’t the only dangerous task that they will have to face. But, where has Gandalf gone off to? And what is his secret business with the south?
Sunday 9th March at 5pm: Nebraska
Nebraska is the tale of an aging, booze-addled father, who makes the trip from Montana to Nebraska with his estranged son in order to claim a million-dollar Mega Sweepstakes Marketing prize. A father and son road trip gets waylaid at a small town in central Nebraska, where the father grew up and has scores to settle. Told with deadpan humor and a unique visual style, it’s ultimately the story of a son trying to get through to a father he doesn’t understand.
