Tuesday 6th November, 7pm: Red Lights
Psychologist Margaret Matheson and her assistant Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy) are at the forefront of studies into paranormal activity, debunking dozens of frauds by detecting ‘red lights’, subtle clues as to the real tricks behind the supposed ‘supernatural’. This work leads them to investigate a world-renowned psychic Simon Silver (Robert De Nero) who has resurfaced years after his toughest critic mysteriously passed away. An interesting blend of thriller and mystery, this film is not to be missed, especially by those of you who are interested in the paranormal.
Wednesday 7th November, 7:30pm: Le Havre:
When an African boy arrives by cargo ship in Le Havre, Normandy, an ageing shoemaker takes pity on him and welcomes him into his home. Seductively funny and quirkily offbeat, as director Aki Kaurismaki is known to be, this French film has an added touch of heartfelt urgency and human warmth, just the thing to watch on a cold November evening.
Sunday 11th November, 5pm: Friends With Kids:
Two best friends reach their thirties and decide to have a baby together whilst keeping their relationship platonic and avoiding the tolls children can take on romantic relationships, what could possibly go wrong? Staring a great cast of rom-com actors including Jon Hamm, Maya Rudolph and Chris O’Dowd (all from the cast of Bridesmaids) this film is sure to tick all the usual boxes, providing humour and romance by the bucketful, so don’t miss out!
Sunday 11th November, 8pm: Brave:

But as her reckless decision to use magic causes chaos and unleashes unintended peril on her family and people, Merida must spring into action to set things right again. Funny and heart-warming as ever, this Disney film doesn’t disappoint and is accompanied by yet another awesome soundtrack. Embrace your inner child and enjoy what’s soon to become a household classic!
