This week at the York Student Cinema, we have a special screening of the hugely popular romantic drama The Notebook (especially for Valentine’s Day). if that’s not your thing then on Thursday we have the reunion of Hangover director Todd Philips and star Zach Galifanakis, in Due Date. That’s followed on Friday by the hugely impressive spectacle that is Tron: Legacy.
Based on Nicholas Sparks’ novel, this is an extremely popular romantic tale that sees an elderly man (James Garner) recounting a love story to another elderly resident at a retirement home (Gena Rowlands). His story follows the relationship of Noah (Ryan Gosling) and Allie (Rachel McAdams), whose love meets many problems in a kind and gentle romance. The Notebook is a film that will make you laugh and cry in equal measure and that has garnered a real following.
Before making the Hangover: Part 2, Todd Philips and star Zach Galifanakis (as Ethan) made this popular comedy, co-starring Robert Downey Jr. as Peter, a man who must join Ethan in order to cross the country before his child is born. On the way, however, they encounter an inevitable string of mishaps including a run in with the police, car crashes and all sorts of other hilarious disasters.
28 years after the hugely popular cult classic, Jeff Bridges returns as Kevin Flynn in this spectacularly impressive and visually immersive sequel. In Tron: Legacy, Flynn’s son Sam (Garrett Hedlund) enters into the incredible computer world of the grid, controlled by renegade program Clu (also played by Bridges) who rules it with an iron fist and still hopes to capture and destroy his creator, Kevin Flynn, who Sam must seek out. Also featuring a brilliant score by Daft Punk, this is a stunning film that will astound you.
