November was a pretty incredible month at Union Films, a midnight screening and 13 other showings of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part I, and we are not ready to let you down in December either. We have a great lineup of films coming you way this week.
Joe, Tuesday 2nd December at 7:00pm
David Gordon Green, the man behind laugh out loud comedy Pineapple Express, helps us kick off December with something different, the critically acclaimed drama Joe.
Played by Nicholas Cage, Joe goes from ex convict to an unlikely role model when a 15 year old boy, played by Tye Sheridan, faces an impossible decision between redemption and ruin.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part I, Tuesday 3rd December at 9.30pm
We brought you seven showings last week but we still aren’t done! We bring you three final showings of the worldwide phenomenon The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part I on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday!
Katniss has destroyed the Hunger Games from the inside, becoming a symbol of resistance – the Mockingjay. However, the Capitol is desperate to crush this rebellion completely and to end those inciting it. Can Katniss and the survivors of District 12 succeed where so many have failed?
Get your tickets while you still have the chance to see it at your student cinema, £4 tickets, an amazing selection of cheap refreshments, what’s your excuse?
Goodbye Hunger Games, until next year!
Joyeux Noel, Wednesday 3rd December at 7:30pm
As always, the Phoenix continue the week of brilliant films on Wednesday night, with French Language christmas drama Joyeux Noel, conveniently translated into English as Merry Christmas.
From the eyes of six different soldiers fighting for three different countries in the bitter trenches, Joyeux Noel depicts the true beauty of the truce between belligerent forces at Christmas time during World War 1. Did you like the Sainsbury’s christmas advertisement? You’ll like this more.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 & 2, Thursday 4th December 7:00pm and 10:00pm
On Thursday night we are throwing you back to the days where a Harry Potter movie was all you waited for to come out at the cinema. What’s best is we are showing Harry’s final chapters back to back, and best of all? They are both FREE!
With all odds against him, Harry, along with Ron and Hermione set out on their final quest to destroy the horcruxes and rid the muggle and wizarding worlds of Voldemort once and for all.
Into the Storm, Sunday 7th December 5:00pm
Into the Storm kicks off our double bill of fantastic movies at 5:00pm on Sunday 7th December.
Starring Thorin Oakenshield, sorry I meant Richard Armitage. This film follows the devastating effects of a massive storm that engulfs the town of Silverton. With absolutely stunning special effects, as well as a talented cast, make sure you aren’t one of the ones to miss Sunday’s opener.
Fury, Sunday 7th December 8:00pm
Depicting the European theater during World War 2 and the final push into German heartland. Fury follows the story of Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier (Brad Pitt) and his squad of 4 other men, who, in their Sherman Tank “Fury”, find themselves outgunned and outnumbered behind enemy lines and must fight to save themselves. Will they make it out alive? Make sure you come along Sunday night at 8:00pm to find out!
