But he spontaneously decides to complete Daniel’s journey, scattering his son’s ashes along El Camino de Santiago, which becomes a life-changing experience. Director Estevez took inspiration from Jack Hitt’s collection of stories, Off The Road, and contrived the perfect, personalised excuse for father and son to make the journey together. And what good travelling companions they prove. Sheen’s Tom is a widower and affluent Californian opthamologist who is on the golf course when he gets the call that his son has died in a freak storm while hiking in southern France. Tom is bewildered as well as bereft. The two had parted unpleasantly, Tom insistent on choosing a conventional life and getting on with it while Daniel opted to wander the world, arguing, ‘You don’t choose a life, you live it.’ On a rare impulse, Tom decides to honour Daniel’s philosophy by embarking on the El Camino de Santiago himself. The physical demands of walking 800 km and the unwanted company of fellow travellers are initially things Tom endures in his impatience to reach journey’s end. But along the way, nudged by visions of Daniel savouring a small incident, a gorgeous landscape, a moment, Tom finds himself looking inwards and letting himself experience the journey itself. En route he attracts a band of inescapable companions, each with a tale to tell, including an exuberant, wining and dining, dope-smoking Dutchman, a bitter Canadian and a talkative Irish author with writer’s block. Camaraderie, revelations and misadventures come with the blisters. Bedecked with an eclectic score, humour and tears, it’s a mood piece as much as it’s about characters... Sheen’s subtle performance – surly, uptight, cautiously poignant – builds in emotional impact, prompting one’s own reflections on the journey of life.” - Angie Errio, Empire<P><a href="http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=907">Advance Tickets</a> ~ <a href="http://www.imdb.com/Title?1441912">IMDB on Film</a> ~ movies@citycinema.net (City Cinema) Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:00:00 -300 http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=907&date=1328742000 http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=907 Only <B>3</B> days left to see this film.<P><B>Rated:</B> 14 Accompaniment (Substance Abuse, Language May Offend)<BR> <B>Runs:</B> 123 minutes<BR><B>Director:</B> Emilio Estevez<BR><B>Country:</B> US/Spain<BR><B>Released:</B> 2011<BR><B>Starring:</B> Martin Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Deborah Kara Unger, James Nesbitt<BR><BR>“After the sudden death of his globe-trekking son Daniel, Tom (Martin Sheen) flies to the Pyrenees to collect his body.

Precise, lucid and thrillingly disciplined, this story of boundary-testing in the early days of psychoanalysis is brought to vivid life by the outstanding lead performances of Keira Knightley, Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender... Shaking off any dusty remnants of a period biographical piece, the film tackles thorny psycho-sexual issues and matters of professional ethics with a frankness that feels entirely contemporary... Of all of Cronenberg's films, A Dangerous Method reminds most of the brilliant Dead Ringers, if only because they both so breathtakingly embrace the dramatic dualities within humans, especially when they brush up against the primal subjects of sex and death... The dialogue is constantly confronting, articulate and stimulating, the intellectual exchanges piercing at times. Cronenberg's direction is at one with the writer's diamond-hard rigor; cinematographer Peter Suschitzky provides visuals of a pristine purity augmented by the immaculate fin de l'epoch settings, while the editing has a bracing sharpness than can only be compared to Kubrick's. Along with Knightley's excellent work as a character with a very long emotional arc indeed, Fassbender brilliantly conveys Jung's intelligence, urge to propriety and irresistible hunger for shedding light on the mysteries of the human interior. A drier, more contained figure, Freud is brought wonderfully to life by Mortensen in a bit of unexpected casting that proves entirely successful.” - Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter<P><a href="http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=915">Advance Tickets</a> ~ <a href="http://www.imdb.com/Title?1571222">IMDB on Film</a> ~ movies@citycinema.net (City Cinema) Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:45:00 -300 http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=915&date=1328913900 http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=907 Only <B>2</B> days left to see this film.<P><B>Rated:</B> 14 Accompaniment (Substance Abuse, Language May Offend)<BR> <B>Runs:</B> 123 minutes<BR><B>Director:</B> Emilio Estevez<BR><B>Country:</B> US/Spain<BR><B>Released:</B> 2011<BR><B>Starring:</B> Martin Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Deborah Kara Unger, James Nesbitt<BR><BR>“After the sudden death of his globe-trekking son Daniel, Tom (Martin Sheen) flies to the Pyrenees to collect his body.

Laure is a 10-year-old girl who lives with her parents and younger sister. They move in the summer, and in their new neighbourhood the short-haired, boyish Laure is assumed to be male. That suits her just fine. What child doesn't welcome the chance to reinvent himself or herself? Laure is athletic, and quickly impresses her new friends with her soccer skills. She's a good fighter, too, and the other kids are impressed with her. Even her little sister goes along with the boy ruse, because she loves the idea of having a big brother to defend her. In her new boy guise, Laure is careful to play soccer without her shirt on and spit in public as required. All the kids she hangs around with know her as Michael. A local girl, Lisa even develops a crush on Laure. There are a few problems. For one thing, Lisa is hoping to be in the same class as her new friend but the class list shows nobody named 'Michael'... The performances from the children are what makes Tomboy a tiny perfect gem of a film. Zoe Heran and Malonn Levana are superb, and you will completely believe in their characters and in their relationship as sisters. Filmmaker Celine Sciamma offers an understated look at identity in general, and any conclusions to be drawn are entirely up to you. Her award-winning film is, among other things, a celebration of certain childhood freedoms and the joy of games of make-believe; would that figuring out who we are and what we're doing in life could always consist of play.

It’s packed with superb British actors, all at the top of their game, with the lengthy book skilfully condensed into just over two hours of riveting narrative. All le Carré’s plot points have been retained. It’s 1973, and a Circus (MI6) mission to Budapest has ended badly in bloodshed. Following this fiasco, the head of the Circus, known as Control, is forced to retire, as is his right-hand man, the intuitive but mild-mannered George Smiley. But Smiley returns to work secretly at the government’s behest when it becomes clear there is a 'mole,’ or double agent, working for the Soviets from a senior position at the Circus. It could be the ambitious reformer Alleline (Toby Jones); dashing, urbane Bill Haydon (Colin Firth); the dogged, assiduous Bland (Ciaran Hinds) or officious, self-seeking Esterhase (David Dencik). All these roles are played formidably, yet Gary Oldman’s Smiley is the plum role. In large glasses, with lank hair and an ill-fitting overcoat, his Smiley looks unimpressive, but has a razor-sharp brain and a touch of ruthlessness... We’ve never seen Oldman like this before, and he’s simply stunning: his soliloquy about his only meeting with his counterpart, the Soviet super-spy Karla, is so engrossing you forget to breathe. Alec Guinness immortalised Smiley in the 1970s TV version of this story, yet Oldman is easily his equal. There’s a terrific extended set-piece scene involving Smiley’s young colleague Peter Guillam who must smuggle archived files from the Circus undetected. It’s funny, seductive and suspenseful all at once. Much of the credit for all this must go to director Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In). He captures scenes with silky fluidity, dispatching his cameras into nooks, crannies and improbable angles, finding a visual equivalent to the story’s hunt for complex solutions.... The best compliment to pay Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is to affirm that it does what every great film can do: it makes your heart pound, gets your pulses racing and sends your brain cells into overdrive.” - David Gritten, The Daily Telegraph<P><a href="http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=918">Advance Tickets</a> ~ <a href="http://www.imdb.com/Title?1340800">IMDB on Film</a> ~ movies@citycinema.net (City Cinema) Fri, 24 Feb 2012 20:30:00 -300 http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=918&date=1330129800 http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=918 Only <B>5</B> days left to see this film.<P><B>Rated:</B> 14 Accompaniment (Gory Scenes, Violence)<BR> <B>Runs:</B> 127 minutes<BR><B>Director:</B> Tomas Alfredson<BR><B>Country:</B> UK/France<BR><B>Released:</B> 2011<BR><B>Starring:</B> Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ciarán Hinds<BR><B>Awards:</B> Academy Award nominee for Best Actor, Score, and Adapted Screenplay.<BR><BR>“A superb adaptation of John le Carré’s brilliant, intricate Cold War spy novel, the film is a triumph.

Laure is a 10-year-old girl who lives with her parents and younger sister. They move in the summer, and in their new neighbourhood the short-haired, boyish Laure is assumed to be male. That suits her just fine. What child doesn't welcome the chance to reinvent himself or herself? Laure is athletic, and quickly impresses her new friends with her soccer skills. She's a good fighter, too, and the other kids are impressed with her. Even her little sister goes along with the boy ruse, because she loves the idea of having a big brother to defend her. In her new boy guise, Laure is careful to play soccer without her shirt on and spit in public as required. All the kids she hangs around with know her as Michael. A local girl, Lisa even develops a crush on Laure. There are a few problems. For one thing, Lisa is hoping to be in the same class as her new friend but the class list shows nobody named 'Michael'... The performances from the children are what makes Tomboy a tiny perfect gem of a film. Zoe Heran and Malonn Levana are superb, and you will completely believe in their characters and in their relationship as sisters. Filmmaker Celine Sciamma offers an understated look at identity in general, and any conclusions to be drawn are entirely up to you. Her award-winning film is, among other things, a celebration of certain childhood freedoms and the joy of games of make-believe; would that figuring out who we are and what we're doing in life could always consist of play. This is the sort of film that stays with you long after you've seen it.” - Liz Braun, Jam!

It’s packed with superb British actors, all at the top of their game, with the lengthy book skilfully condensed into just over two hours of riveting narrative. All le Carré’s plot points have been retained. It’s 1973, and a Circus (MI6) mission to Budapest has ended badly in bloodshed. Following this fiasco, the head of the Circus, known as Control, is forced to retire, as is his right-hand man, the intuitive but mild-mannered George Smiley. But Smiley returns to work secretly at the government’s behest when it becomes clear there is a 'mole,’ or double agent, working for the Soviets from a senior position at the Circus. It could be the ambitious reformer Alleline (Toby Jones); dashing, urbane Bill Haydon (Colin Firth); the dogged, assiduous Bland (Ciaran Hinds) or officious, self-seeking Esterhase (David Dencik). All these roles are played formidably, yet Gary Oldman’s Smiley is the plum role. In large glasses, with lank hair and an ill-fitting overcoat, his Smiley looks unimpressive, but has a razor-sharp brain and a touch of ruthlessness... We’ve never seen Oldman like this before, and he’s simply stunning: his soliloquy about his only meeting with his counterpart, the Soviet super-spy Karla, is so engrossing you forget to breathe. Alec Guinness immortalised Smiley in the 1970s TV version of this story, yet Oldman is easily his equal. There’s a terrific extended set-piece scene involving Smiley’s young colleague Peter Guillam who must smuggle archived files from the Circus undetected. It’s funny, seductive and suspenseful all at once. Much of the credit for all this must go to director Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In). He captures scenes with silky fluidity, dispatching his cameras into nooks, crannies and improbable angles, finding a visual equivalent to the story’s hunt for complex solutions....
