Friday 18th May Stutton Cinema presents The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (18)
I am dying to see this English language film version of the late, talented Stieg Larsson book. Daniel Craig takes over the role of disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist who, while investigating the disappearance of a magnate's niece 40 years earlier, teams up with pierced, tattooed, punk computer hacker Lisbeth Salander, played by Rooney Mara - will she be as convincing as Noomi Rapace in the original Swedish movie?

Peninsular Pix presents The Shore and The Artist (12A)
The Shore, a gentle Irish film penned and directed by native Terry George, won the Oscar for Best Short Film, and we are delighted to offer a rare chance to see this on the big screen. Ciarán Hinds plays Joe, who returns to his home town after a 25 year gap, and meets up once more with childhood friend Paddy (Conleth Hill). How will they relate to each other after such a long absence, forced on them by the troubles. View the IMDB entry

The Artist, the first mainly silent film release since Mel Brooks' Silent Movie, is a loving tribute to the days before the talkies. Director Michel Hazanavicius, whose previous two films were slapstick comedies, also wrote the story, which sees star-struck Peppy Miller, played by Bérénice Bejo, bump into swashbuckling silent movie hero George Valentin, portrayed by Jean Dujardin. Their chance encounter, which sees Peppy kiss Valentin on his cheek in front of paparazzi, becomes a major event and Peppy pursues a career in the film industry. But as her star rises, Valentin faces the threat of the introduction of talkies . . .View the IMDB entry

Tickets are £4.00 on the door, or £3.50 in advance from the Rookery Farm Shop, the White Horse, Stutton Community Shop, Lloyd (326882) or Rosie (328315)

Peninsular Pix presents The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (12A)
This star-studded British adventure has been chosen for our first Peter Ward Memorial Movie, in memory of Peter, a great guy who passed away recently. Each September, we will show a film which he would have loved.

Our first follows a group of British retirees seduced by the promise of a luxurious life in India.
Dames Maggie Smith and Judi Dench join stalwarts Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Celia Imrie, Penelope Wilton and Ronald Pickup in a highly amusing adaptation of Deborah Moggach's novel, with Dev Patel providing a native flavour akin to his Slumdog performance as the desperate entrepreneur who will stop at nothing to keep the new guests happy at his hotel of the title.
