DEAR FRANKIE (12a)
2004/UK/102m/dir Shona Auerbach
Emily Mor tim er, Gerard Butler, Jack McElhone
This heart warming story will have the audiences reaching for their handkerchiefs. A ten year old boy with a hearing impairment called Frankie has the desire to see his father. His single parent mother Lizzie, has kept up the pretence that his father sails the seven seas on a large freight ship. They live near a Scottish port, and to her horror, the fictitious vessel will dock in a few days time. With the help of her friend and her friend's brother, Frankie has a �father figure' while the boat is in port.
THE AVIATOR (15)
2004/US/169m/dir Martin Scorsese
Leonardo De Caprio, Cate Blanchett, Kate Beckinsale
From the director of many great films, including Goodfellas and The Raging Bull , comes the epic story of the young Howard Hughes, millionaire, movie mogul and a magnet for some of Hollywood 's most beautiful women. This fascinating and hugely enjoyable tale is steeped in the myth that was the man, how he turned a small fortune into a large one, how he designed and built the world's largest aeroplane, and of course how he bedded the likes of Ava Gardner and Jean Harlow. It does not go beyond the nineteen forties and so we only catch the first signs of the internal troubles that turned Hughes into a recluse for the final thirty years of his life. But what we do see is a star studded tribute to the man and the myth.
SHALL WE DANCE (12a)
2004/US/106m/dir Peter Chelsom
Richard Gere Jennifer Lopez, Susan Sarandon
British director Peter Chelsom has re-made the Japanese cult hit Shall We Dansu as an American wish fulfilment comedy. John Clark (Gere) has a fabulous wife and two adorable kids, but every evening after work he wistfully looks up at the dance studio he passes on the train. At the same time Paulina (Lopez), a dance instructor also wistfully looks out of the same studio window most evenings. One night he decides to jump off the train to join up for classes and Ballroom dancing becomes the centre of a charming and very seductive film.
THE CHORUS (12a)
2004/Fr/Subt/95m/dir Christophe Barratieu
Gerard Jugnot, Francois Berlead, Marie Bunel
Breaking all box-office records last year in France, this unashamedly crowd pleasing drama is a treat for lovers of old fashioned cinematic values. A good story well told and able to move an audience to tears and laughter. Post war France and middle aged teacher Clement arrives at an austere boys boarding school, for troublesome boys who are just a few steps away from official incarceration. He immediately falls foul of the principle, Rachin, a man who believes that to spare the rod is to spoil the child. Clement recognises that the majority of the pupils are basically decent kids and hits on the idea of a choir, as means to soothe the savage breasts of his young charges.
