Spectre Rating 12A I Running Time 148 mins I UK/USA I 2015 Directed by Sam Mendes Starring Daniel Craig, Christoph Waltz, Léa Seydoux Bond is back, and Daniel Craig is back, in a terrifically exciting, spectacular and delirious 007 adventure. Craig furthers his claim to be the best-ever-Bond in this high-octane film that explores our relationship with surveillance technology in an increasingly voyeuristic world, but never forgets to be uproariously entertaining. Pure action mayhem with a real sense of style.
Sun 10 Jan 3pm
Hotel Transylvania 2 Rating U I Running Time 89 mins I USA I 2015 Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky Voices Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, Steve Buscemi The follow-up to 2012’s monster hit, Hotel Transylvania 2 is a breathless sequel in which Dracula fears his 5-year-old grandson may not grow up to be vampire enough. Full of hilarious one-liners, slapstick and visual gags, the film maintains a breakneck pace throughout and will delight any Adam Sandler fan as well as lovers of the original film.
Sun 10 Jan 7.30pm
Macbeth Rating 15 I Running Time 113 mins I UK/France/USA I 2015 Directed by Justin Kurzel Starring Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, David Thewlis, Snowtown director Justin Kurzel’s big-screen rendering of the ‘Scottish play’ is a spittle-flecked war film full of post-Braveheart mud, warpaint and Kurosawa-style bloodshed. Michael Fassbender plays the future king of Scotland as a rugged warrior coming apart at the seams, with Marion Cotillard similarly mesmerising as Lady Macbeth. Raw, visceral and contagious, Macbeth stunningly updates Shakespeare for the 21st century.

The Lady In The Van Rating 12A I Running Time 104 mins I UK I 2015 Directed by Nicholas Hytner Starring Maggie Smith, Dominic Cooper, Jim Broadbent When Alan Bennett offered the temporary use of his drive to a homeless woman in the 1970s, she parked her battered van outside his front door and stayed for 15 years. With a stellar Maggie Smith in the title role, The Lady in the Van is a warm-hearted, moving adaptation that mixes a breezy charm with an underlying sadness.
Fri 15 Jan 7.30pm
Steve Jobs Rating 15 I Running Time 122 mins I USA I 2015 Directed by Danny Boyle Starring Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen A film about the great Apple designer, Steve Jobs is an intimate and theatrical biopic, adapted from the authorised biography by Walter Isaacson. It charts the rise, fall, and eventually unstoppable ascent of both the company and the man, played with typical intensity by Michael Fassbender in an entirely fluent and commanding performance.
Sat 16 Jan 7.30pm
Suffragette Rating 12A I Running Time 106 mins I UK I 2015 Directed by Sarah Gavron Starring Carey Mulligan, Meryl Streep, Helena Bonham Carter
Carey Mulligan turns in an electric performance as the heart of Sarah Gavron’s film about the British women’s suffrage movement. The story may take place in 1912, and the sets and costumes vividly and convincingly evoke a bygone age, but Suffragette is written, shot and acted with a hot-blooded urgency that reminds you the struggle it depicts is an ongoing one.
Tues 19 Jan 7.30pm (HOH) & Wed 20 Jan 11am/7.30pm
Brooklyn Rating 12A I Running Time 112 mins I Ireland/UK/Canada I 2015 Directed by John Crowley Starring Saoirse Ronan, Domhnall Gleeson, Michael Zegen Set in the 1950s, Brooklyn is the story of a young woman who leaves behind an adored mother and sister in her small home town in Ireland to start afresh in New York. Saoirse Ronan’s tremendous lead performance and Nick Hornby’s subtle screenplay power an intelligent, thoroughly gripping drama where the excitement of a new life is tempered by the anguish of homesickness, disloyalty and guilt.
Sat 23 Jan 1pm & Sun 24 Jan 3pm
The Good Dinosaur Rating U I Running Time 89 mins I USA I 2015 Directed by Peter Sohn Voices Raymond Ochoa, Jeffrey Wright, Steve Zahn An epic journey into the world of dinosaurs where an Apatosaurus named Arlo makes an unlikely human friend. Pixar’s second film of 2015, The Good Dinosaur is once again a triumph of breathtaking visuals and open-hearted storytelling, simultaneously showing the fragility and the wonder of life in another universally accessible, tough and smart tale.
Sun 24 Jan 7.30pm
Carol Rating 15 I Running Time 119 mins I UK/France/USA I 2015 Directed by Todd Haynes Starring Rooney Mara, Cate Blanchett, Kyle Chandler Based on Patricia Highsmith’s novel of lesbian love in 50s New York, Carol brilliantly captures the thrills, tears and fears of forbidden passion. Featuring a career-best performance from Cate Blanchett, somehow besting her own highest standards with a phenomenally subtle and heartbreaking turn, Carol is one of the most detailed and perfectly realised films of the year.
Sat 30 Jan 7.30pm
Bridge Of Spies Rating 12A I Running Time 141 mins I USA/India/Germany I 2015 Directed by Steven Spielberg Starring Tom Hanks, Eve Hewson, Amy Ryan, Alan Alda Based on the true story of the 1962 spy-swap involving American U2 spy-plane pilot Gary Powers who was captured by the Soviets. Bridge of Spies is an elegant, intelligent film that peppers its gripping intrigue with wit and humour. It is the latest in a long line of stellar collaborations between Hanks and Spielberg that shows no signs of letting up.
Sun 31 Jan 7.30pm
Black Mass Rating 15 I Running Time 123 mins I UK/USA I 2015 Directed by Scott Cooper Starring Johnny Depp, Benedict Cumberbatch, Kevin Bacon The story of Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger, active during the 70s and 80s, makes for a complex true-crime thriller full of riveting drama. A comeback to serious high-stakes film for Johnny Depp, acted with confidence and verve. Black Mass is a shrewd study of the way gangsters are symptoms of corruption.
Sat 6 Feb 3pm/7.30pm & Sun 7 Feb 3pm (HOH)
Sunset Song Rating 15 I Running Time 133 mins I UK/Luxembourg I 2015 Directed by Terence Davies Starring Agyness Deyn, Peter Mullan, Kevin Guthrie Terence Davies’ rich and lyrical adaptation of Sunset Song breathes new life into one of the most important Scottish novels of the 20th century, imbuing the rural vistas of the novel with a dark and stately grandeur. Agyness Deyn is in fine form as the conflicted heroine Chris, torn between tradition and the burgeoning new world.
Wed 10 Feb 3pm ALL TICKETS £5
The Lion King Rating U I Running Time 85 mins I USA I 1994 Directed by Roger Allers, Rob Minkoff Voices Rowan Atkinson, Jeremy Irons First released in 1994, Disney’s The Lion King has proved as popular on stage as on screen, and is rightly heralded as a true classic. This highly entertaining, beautifully animated story of the great circle of life draws on centuries of classic mythology from the Bible to Shakespeare, and is one of the most delightful family movies of all time, filled with hope, hilarity, tragedy and wonderful songs.
Wed 10 Feb 7.30pm
Victor Frankenstein Rating 12A I Running Time 110 mins I USA I 2015 Director: Paul McGuigan Starring: James McAvoy, Daniel Radcliffe Doing for Mary Shelley’s classic Frankenstein what Guy Ritchie did for Sherlock Holmes, Victor Frankenstein is infused with a playful, postmodern sensibility that zaps new life into a 200 year-old Gothic masterpiece. Crackling with energy and fizzing with ideas, this fresh take on Frankenstein is a thrilling adaptation that reinvigorates this classic tale.
Thu 11 Feb 3pm/7.30pm & Fri 12 Feb 11am
Star Wars – The Force Awakens Rating 12A I Running Time 135 mins I USA I 2015 Directed by J.J.

The Battle of The Sexes Rating U I Running Time 90 mins I USA I 1928 Directed by WD Griffith Starring Jean Hersholt, Phyllis Haver, Belle Bennett A brand new commission for Fife Jazz Festival, Battle of the Sexes couples the classic film with live musical accompaniment performed by Jane Gardner (piano), Laura MacDonald (saxophone) and Hazel Morrison (percussion). Battle of the Sexes is a highly entertaining cautionary tale of a middle-aged family man (Hersholt) who, despite his devotion to wife and family, falls head over heels for gum-chewing frizzy-haired gold-digger Marie Skinner (Haver).
Sun 21 Feb 1pm
Snoopy & Charlie Brown – The Peanuts Movie Rating U I Running Time 93 mins I USA I 2015 Directed by Steve Martino Starring Noah Schnapp, Bill Melendez, Hadley Belle Miller

Lily Tomlin adds heart, soul, and a bucketload of comedy to the role of Elle, a cranky old poet who breaks up with her girlfriend (Judy Greer) on the morning of a very eventful day. Grandma is the latest film from About a Boy and American Pie director Paul Weitz. A touching and hilarious film about the interactions of three generations of women.
STAFF CHOICE FILM Tues 23 Feb 7.30pm
The Warriors Rating 18 I Running Time 92 mins I USA I 1979 Directed by Walter Hill Starring Michael Beck, James Remar, Dorsey Wright
Stylish, exciting, and imaginative with a striking visual design that transforms New York City into a nocturnal fantasy world of the near future, The Warriors is a cult classic set in a world where turf gangs and cops rule the streets.
CHOSEN BY: Susan Ness Library Assistant.
“My film screening choice would be The Warriors. I wasn't allowed to watch it in the cinema when I was a child (and my older brother was) and the soundtrack and all the American street culture in the film is amazing.”
