FILMS SHOWING Friday December 11 to Thursday December 17

This Friday we premiere two new films from England, both based on true stories of siblings and both completely different! Legend is the highly anticipated bio-pic of Ronald and Reginald Kray, identical twin gangsters who menaced London during the 1950s and 1960s. Telling the story from the perspective of Reggie Kray's wife, Legend features not one, but two knock-out performances by Tom Hardy, who does double-duty playing the twins. Look for daily screenings of Legend at both the Original and the Twin. A Royal Night Out takes a historical fact and spins a delightful tale out of it: On V.E. Day, the official end of WWII, princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, aged 19 and 14, were permitted to slip out of Buckingham Palace to go out and join the rest of London for the massive celebrations. Sarah Gadon and Bel Powley are marvellous as the sisters, who pretend for one thrilling night that they are commoners, just like everyone they meet. A Royal Night Out also stars Emily Watson and Rupert Everett (as the King and Queen).

A Royal Night Out

"There is a sense of enchantment to this title, and an exuberance that emanates off the narrative, as the celebratory mood of the characters extends to the viewer." - The Independent

"It is VE Day and the two young princesses Elizabeth ('A Dangerous Method's' Sarah Gadon) and Margaret ('Diary of a Teenage Girl's' Bel Powley) are 'completely cheesed' at being locked away in a 'ghastly mausoleum' (that is to say, Buckingham Palace) when the rest of Britain is celebrating.

Room

14A

Winner! Oscar for Best Actress (Brie Larson). "It's a deeply satisfying, profoundly moving adaptation of a popular novel, an all-too-rare occurrence in modern Hollywood." Winner, Golden Globe Best Actress

"Adapted from Emma Donoghue’s 2010 novel of the same name, this captivity narrative about a woman and her young son living in a 10-by-10-foot shed is no one’s idea of a feel-good story.

Trumbo

14A

Golden Globe nominated! "Trumbo reminds us of a very dark time in America as well as Hollywood. Important but also hugely entertaining. Bryan Cranston nails it." - Deadline Hollywood

“Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) does sterling work in 'Trumbo' as an eloquent screenwriter who bucked the Hollywood blacklist and triumphed. Catnip for fans of old Hollywood, this highly entertaining biopic focuses on so-called 'swimming pool Communist' Dalton Trumbo, who was once Tinseltown’s highest-paid writer.

Suffragette

"Heartbreaking and powerfully relevant, Suffragette's greatest achievement is that it gives a full-blooded picture of a struggle not so far removed in time, and still going forth in some corners of the world today." - National Post

"From the neglectful mother in 'Mary Poppins' to prissy spinsters sipping tea in silly hats, suffragettes have long been vilified and mocked in popular culture.

"That these brave women were the foot soldiers in a long and bloody war to win the right to vote has long been either ignored or forgotten.

The Walk

"It satisfies as an absorbing yarn of authority-flouting adventure and as an example of stomach-flipping you-are-there-ness. The journey it offers viewers doesn't just span 140 feet, but also an ethereal, now-vanished, world." - Washington Post

"The line between gimmicky and magic can be mighty fine, but Robert Zemeckis masters it like a seasoned pro in The Walk.
