James Absolon explains how this Pope-themed film, despite its risky premise, works
Alex Pollard reviews Hollywood's biopic of the controversial Margaret Thatcher
This week at the York Student Cinema we have a truly wide-ranging mix from gloriously uplifting BAFTA nominated British comedy in the wonderful Made in Dagenham to Robert Rodriguez’s return to good old fashioned Grindhouse in the incredibly entertaining (and completely over the top) Machete. Furthermore, we’ve also got vampiric thrills and intelligent horror from Let Me In.
The critically acclaimed remake of the modern Swedish horror classic Let the Right One In is a very fine piece of cinema, respectfully recreated by the legendary Hammer studios and Cloverfield director Matt Reeves. Set in 1983, it tells the story of a lonely young boy (The Road’s Kodi Smit-McPhee) who befriends his strange vampiric neighbour Abby (Chloe Grace Moretz). What results is an extremely well-acted and produced tale of loneliness, despair and bloodsuckers.
This extremely popular and intelligent British comedy is based on the real-life struggle for equal pay in Britain. Sally Hawkins stars as Rita O'Grady, leader of a strike in Ford’s Dagenham plant demanding fair pay for women. However, when the news spreads, she finds herself at the centre of a national campaign for equality in this critically acclaimed, well-meaning and incredibly entertaining comedy.
From the director of Sin City, Robert Rodriguez, comes this exciting, over-the-top, action-packed thrill ride in which a Mexican assassin (Danny Trejo) is betrayed and left for dead during an assassination mission and then goes looking for vengeance with the help of a priest, Jessica Alba and Michelle Rodriguez. They star alongside Robert De Niro and Steven Seagal in this hugely entertaining, ridiculous and hilarious modern exploitation movie.
