Director: Alexander Payne. Starring: Bruce Dern, Will Forte, Stacy Keach. USA 2013. 115 mins.

Cantankerous old Woody (Dern, giving a masterful performance) is convinced he’s won a million dollars in a postal sweepstake and is determined to claim his prize, even if it means walking 850 miles to collect it. His son (Forte) decides to indulge his father and drive him. Shot in monochrome, director Payne’s (SIDEWAYS, THE DESCENDANTS) road movie is a poignant elegy for a disappearing America.

From 13 December

The Hobbit:

the desolation of Smaug 3D/2d

(Cert TBC)

Director: Peter Jackson. Starring: Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett. USA/New Zealand 2013. TBC mins.

The second part in Jackson’s THE HOBBIT trilogy is probably the most eagerly awaited film of the holiday season, and it doesn’t disappoint. Martin Freeman is back as the nervy adventurer Bilbo Baggins, who must now honour his contract with the Dwarves and find the secret door in Lonely Mountain that will reveal the lair of Smaug the dragon, played by Freeman’s Sherlock co-star Benedict Cumberbatch.

With Will Ferrell again starring as the blundering anchorman Ron Burgundy, his TV newsroom remains as hilariously taste-free as it was when it was first revealed to an unsuspecting audience in 2004. Having lost the affections of his terminally indiscreet colleague, Veronica (Applegate), Big Ron is inexplicably hired by New York’s 24-hour Global News Network. Along for the ride, quite literally aboard his accident-prone motorhome, are Ron’s crass, sexist and not entirely brainy crew played by Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and Dave Koechner.

THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY

The Railway Man

P

(Cert TBC)

Director: Ben Stiller. Starring: Ben Stiller, Kristen Wiig, Sean Penn. USA 2013. 114 mins.

Director: Jonathan Teplitzky. Starring: Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman, Jeremy Irvine, Stellan Skarsgård. Australia/UK 2013. TBC mins.

James Thurber’s short story about a meek fantasist, which became a vehicle for Danny Kaye in 1947, is here transposed to the Internet age. When Life magazine is forced out of print, office worker Mitty (Stiller) somehow overcomes his natural timidity to seek a cover image for the final edition from a globetrotting photographer (Penn) – a quest which entails derring-do, a crush on a co-worker (Wiig, BRIDESMAIDS), and a winning degree of self-parody.

Based on the autobiography of the same name, THE RAILWAY MAN stars Colin Firth as British World War II veteran Eric Lomax. When his harrowing past in a Japanese POW camp comes back to haunt him, his new wife Patti (Kidman) suggests a surprising pathway to redemption in this poignant, humane and ultimately positive film. Contains sustained moderate threat, disturbing images and strong language.

12 Years a Slave

5

Director: J. C. Chandor. Starring: Robert Redford. USA 2013. 106 mins.

Director: Steve McQueen. Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Giamatti. USA/UK 2013. 134 mins.

Alone in the Indian Ocean in a crippled yacht, Robert Redford’s anonymous character in ALL IS LOST must take increasingly desperate measures in order to survive. With virtually no dialogue and his presence in almost every frame, this is a hugely challenging role for Redford that represents a bold step in his remarkable renaissance; few actors of any generation could pull off such a riveting performance. Contains one use of strong language.

Based on Solomon Northup’s 1853 memoir of the same name, 12 YEARS A SLAVE stars Ejiofor as a well-to-do musician who is kidnapped and forced into slavery in the cotton fields of Louisiana, ending up on the plantation of the vicious Edwin Epps (Fassbender). The result is the first must-see movie of the Oscar season, an intimate epic about freedom and resilience.

Director: Justin Chadwick. Starring: Idris Elba, Naomie Harris, Tony Kgoroge, Riaad Moosa. UK/South Africa 2013. 146 mins.

Idris Elba stars as Nelson Mandela in this biopic with magnificent authority.

Mandela’s 27-year imprisonment for his anti-apartheid activism is known to all, but director Chadwick also spotlights his relationship with his wife Winnie (Harris), who was instrumental in his politicisation.

Contains moderate violence, language, sex references and distressing scenes.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Martin Scorsese adapts the bestselling story of real-life rogue trader Jordan Belfort, played by his long-time collaborator Leonardo DiCaprio. Like so many of his films, this paints a picture of an outlaw life that’s appealing at first, but quickly becomes a nightmare – albeit one that features Lamborghinis, a chimpanzee on roller skates and the destruction of a 167ft yacht.

To celebrate the release of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug join us to see the epic trilogy the way it was meant to be seen, up on the big screen.

Directors: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen. Starring: Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake. USA 2013. 105 mins.

Rags to riches, riches to rags - these are the familiar trajectories for films about professional musicians. But in their brilliant 16th feature, the Coen brothers offer their own unique take on the genre.

Greenwich Village, 1961. The emerging folk scene has yet to produce a star, although it does not want for talent, notably singer-songwriter Llewyn Davis.

Muscle Shoals

P

Director: Greg Camalier. Featuring: Rick Hall, Keith Richards, Aretha Franklin. USA 2013. 111 mins.

Since the 1950s Alabama’s Fame Studios has been legendary for its unique ‘Muscle Shoals sound’. This documentary charts its story primarily through interviews with its founder, Rick Hall, and many of the musicians who’ve used it, including Gregg Allman, Etta James, the Rolling Stones, Wilson Pickett, Jimmy Cliff and Aretha Franklin. Hall talks candidly about his life, and rousing archive performances add to the film’s immense likeability.

Tuesday 17 December

Computer Chess 5 Director: Andrew Bujalski. Starring: Patrick Riester, Gerald Peary, Wiley Wiggins. USA 2013. 91 mins.

Maverick mumblecore writer-director Bujalski (FUNNY HA HA, MUTUAL APPRECIATION) turns his wicked eye back to the early ’80s, when desktop computers the size of fridges were pitted against human chess players who could often outwit them. During a weekend tournament, various geeks use home-written software to try to beat a human grandmaster. Authentic fashions and nerdy dialogue compound this knowing comedy’s considerable appeal.

takes a break on 24 and 31 December

Tuesday 7 January Gloria 5 Director: Sebastián Lelio. Starring: Paulina García, Sergio Herndández. Chile/Spain 2013.

109 mins. Spanish with English subtitles.

Gloria (García) is a 58-year-old divorcee, trying to make the most of her freedom but inwardly still craving romance. One night she meets Rodolfo (Herndández), who seems to share the same ideals, but he isn’t quite what he seems. This Berlin Festival multi-award-winner is full of sly observations on Chile’s middle classes, and García’s performance – one moment achingly vulnerable, the next confidently resilient – is mesmerising.

Director: Destin Cretton. Starring: Brie Larson, John Gallagher Jnr, Kaitlyn Dever. USA 2013. 97 mins.

Drawing on his experiences working in a rehab facility for troubled teenagers – and on his multi-award-winning 2008 short of the same name – writer-director Cretton’s drama centres on social workers Grace (Larson, GREENBERG, 21 JUMP STREET) and Mason (Gallagher, WHATEVER WORKS) who, although barely older than their wards, strive to provide the tough love that will help them mend their lives. This quietly persuasive film is admirably un-mawkish.

Tuesday 21 January

Leviathan 2A Directors: Lucien Castaing-Taylor, Verena Paravel.

France/UK/USA 2012. 87 mins.

The rough Atlantic waters that inspired Melville’s Moby-Dick give rise to a rather different beast in this bracing cinematic voyage into uncharted documentary territory. Already showered with accolades from festivals around the world, this is, loosely, a study of life aboard a New England fishing boat.

But with a host of radically innovative formal devices and a complete lack of narration or meaningful dialogue, it utterly defies the simple label of documentary, instead delivering an incredibly visceral, primal and sensuous representation of seafaring life.

Contains one use of strong language.

Tuesday 28 January

child’s pose 5 Director: Calin Peter Netzer. Starring: Luminita Gheorghiu, Bogdan Dumitrache. Romania 2013. 112 mins.

Romanian with English subtitles.

Cornelia (Gheorghiu) is used to manipulating everyone to her own ends. But when her grown-up son (Dumitrache) kills a 14-year-old boy in his car, she is obliged to marshal all her skills to prevent his imprisonment. Garlanded director Netzer caustically reveals the implications of wealth and entitlement in Romanian society, and Gheorghiu’s performance is wincingly captivating; the film richly deserved its Golden Bear at the 2013 Berlin Film Festival.

Whale followed up 1931’s tragic FRANKENSTEIN with this hilariously camp comedy horror, in which a rival mad scientist persuades Henry Frankenstein to create a mate – in the iconic form of Elsa Lanchester – for the long-suffering Monster.

When an academic attempts to debunk a cult leader’s claims to paranormal powers, he finds himself the object of a satanic curse. Based on an M. R. James story, Tourneur’s brilliantly paced film builds up the atmosphere to unbearably creepy heights.

FREE Daily For more information see fact.co.uk/timeandmotion

A collaborative design and research project with Creative Exchange Project (CX).

How and where do you work? How long is your working day and when does it end? When does leisure time become labour, and vice versa?

Galleries 1 / 2 FREE­Entry Sun – Fri: 12pm – 6pm Sat: 11am – 6pm

The exhibition Time & Motion, developed in collaboration with The Royal College of Art, looks to contemporary artists to ask urgent questions about the undermining of some of our most basic rights, and the ability of design to reveal our hidden working systems of power, exchange and value.

At a time when new technology has never been so disruptive to our working lives, Time & Motion provides a platform for thinkers, academics, artists and designers to re-envisage our working environment and consider the future of work. #timeandmotion Play the game at tm-888.co.uk

Quick­fire­four...

Leif­Johnson IT Technician What's­the­best­thing­about­FACT? How enthusiastic people are about their jobs, FACT's work culture was a complete shock to me at first but it's such a welcomed change

|TIME |& & |MOT TION ... |REDEFINING |REDEF | FINING |WORK KING |LIFE

What's­making­you­excited­at­the moment? (at­FACT) At the moment I would have to say the new website that we are working on for ex-forces men and women. The possibilities of creating content for the purpose of supporting vulnerable people and improving people's standards of life are endless and very unexplored at present.

One of the hurdles is that the audience that it is for, are often not aware of the services nor in a position to be using them. With this project though, the audience is being physically engaged with at every step of the way.

Who­would­be­your­collaboration­dream­team?

I would like to see either Seiji Muzishima or Yoshiyuki Tomin collaborate with James Cameron.

They have both created fantastic sci-fi throughout their careers and have contributed to the Gundam series. With such a wealth of content relatively unknown James Cameron would be a safe pair of hands to bring it to the western audience.

Tell­us....(a­fact,­a­secret­or­a­joke) If you weighed all the electrons used to store the information on the internet, it would weigh less than a chicken's egg.
