A mousy adventure of love and cinema

We start June with something for the kids, as it’s the summer half-term break

Epic Tails (U) - Thursday 1st June

11.00am - tells the story of super smart mouse Pattie and her feline friend Sam, as they embark upon an exciting adventure of paw-some proportions through Ancient Greece. With a little help from ageing hero Jason, the animals’ quest brings them face to face with some the most bizarre and dangerous creatures from Greek mythology, as they race to halt the threat posed to their city by Poseidon himself. A hilarious and inventive comedy adventure for the whole family, EPIC TAILS features the special guest voices of Rob Beckett, Giovanna Fletcher and Josh Widdicombe as the many Gods of Mount Olympus, including Zeus, Poseidon and Aphrodite.

How do you find lasting love in today’s world? In the British romantic comedy What’s Love Got To Do

With It? (12A), which will be screened on Sunday 11th June at 7.30pm, we find documentary-maker and dating app addict Zoe (Lily James), swiping right has only delivered an endless stream of Mr. Wrongs to her eccentric mother Cath’s (Emma Thompson) dismay. For Zoe’s childhood friend and neighbour Kaz (Shazad Latif), the answer is to follow his parents’ example and opt for an arranged (or “assisted”) marriage to a bright and beautiful bride from Pakistan. As Zoe films his hopeful journey from London to Lahore to marry a stranger chosen by his parents, she begins to wonder if she might have something to learn from a profoundly different approach to finding love.

Part memoir, part ode to the power of the movies, The Fabelmans (12A), on Wednesday 21st June 7.30pm, finds Steven Spielberg digging at the family roots that helped make him a beloved filmmaker — and proves he hasn’t lost his magic touch. Young Sammy Fabelman falls in love with movies after his parents take him to see “The Greatest Show on Earth.” Armed with a camera, Sammy starts to make his own films at home, much to the delight of his supportive mother. Fairfield Flicks is located at Fairfield Village Hall (B61 9LZ), there is free parking and a licenced bar.
