Welcome to the February edition of the kinokulture cinema newsletter
After the successful launch of our new Digital Cinema last month we have a great selection of films lined up for February and are looking forwards to once again being a partner venue for the Borderlines Film Festival in March.
Borderlines is the biggest rural film festival in the UK running from 1st - 17th March.
Festival brochures detailing all the 90 films programmed into 39 venues throughout Shropshire and Herefordshire are available to pick up in The Guildhall and Oswestry Library.
Booking information for our screenings is at the bottom of the newsletter.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at our film screenings this month.
February Film Screenings at kinokulture cinema in
The Attfield Theatre | | |
 | Saturday 2nd February 7:30pm Seven Psychopaths (15) 'In Bruges' director, Martin McDonagh brings together an all star ensemble cast in this gleefully dark comedy thriller. A struggling screenwriter inadvertently becomes entangled in the Los Angeles criminal underworld after his oddball friends kidnap a gangster's beloved Shih Tzu. “Engagingly off-centre” *** Total Film “Enormously entertaining, endlessly quotable, perfectly cast and packed full of the richest acting you'll see from an ensemble cast all year.” **** - Empire Magazine | |
 | Saturday 9th February 7:30pm Sightseers (15) Chris (Steve Oram) wants to show Tina (Alice Lowe) his world and he wants to do it his way - on a journey through this sceptred isle in his beloved Abbey Oxford Caravan. Tina's led a sheltered life and there are things that Chris needs her to see - the Crich Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, the Keswick Pencil Museum and the rolling countryside that separates these wonders in his life. But it doesn't take long for the dream to fade. Litterbugs, noisy teenagers and pre-booked caravan sites, not to mention Tina's meddling mother, soon conspire to shatter Chris's dreams and send him, and anyone who rubs him up the wrong way, over a very jagged edge... “Comedies don't come much darker than this chillingly distinctive caravan caper from the makers of Kill List.” **** Peter Bradshaw – The Guardian “A dark little delight.” **** - Total Film | |
 | Saturday 16th February 7:30pm The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey (2D) (12A) Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson's first of a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands. Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even himself, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities... A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know. “Charming, spectacular, technically audacious… in short, everything you expect from a Peter Jackson movie.” ***** Matthew Leyland – Total Film | |
 | Wednesday 20th February Market Day Matinee 1:30pm Argo (15) Argo has been described as one of the best new films of the year and has already been tipped as a potential Oscar winner for Ben Affleck, who is both its star and its director. The $44 million Hollywood movie Argo tells the extraordinary story of how six American diplomats were smuggled out of Iran at the height of the 1979 Islamic revolution, in a subterfuge that involved an elaborately faked film project. The officials had narrowly avoided being among those captured when Iranian militants invaded the US embassy compound and took 52 other American staff hostage, sparking an international crisis that was to last for 14 months. “one of the best-made thrillers you’ll see all year and not one to be left in a hurry . . . or you’ll miss a fascinating closing-credits postscript that comes courtesy of President Carter himself.” ***** Mail Online
“A wonderfully lively and engrossing movie.” - Philip French The Observer “Ben Affleck's new film Argo is a tremendously accomplished thriller.” **** - Robbie Collin The Telegraph | |
