Robin Hood
12A  Action/Drama

This latest take on the enduring legend is directed by Ridley Scott and stars Russell Crowe as Robin, Cate Blanchett as Maid Marion and Eileen Atkins as Eleanor of Aquitaine.  A long way from Erroll Flynn and Olivia de Havilland, this is a violent action film with amazing CGI which begins with Robin as an unemployed mercenary returning from the Third Crusade who finds himself fending off a French invasion, and ends pretty much where most other versions begin.  

“It’s thrilling, it’s solidly entertaining and it’s occasionally breathtaking – your history teacher might not like it but this scores a bullseye.”  Daily Mirror

The Ghost Writer

15 French Thriller

Directed by Roman Polanski from the hit novel by Robert Harris.  A ghost writer hired to complete the memoirs of a former British Prime Minister (any resemblance to Tony Blair is entirely uncoincidental!) uncovers secrets that put his own life in jeopardy.  With just 30 days to complete the manuscript, The Ghost (Ewan McGregor) arrives in New England where Lang (Pierce Brosnan) is holed up in his beachfront home with his wife (Olivia Williams) and his mistress/PA (Kim Cattrall).  The body of the Ghost’s predecessor is found washed up on the shore, and The Ghost soon finds himself in a murky world of duplicity and political malfeasance.
