Florence Foster Jenkins

The comedy drama directed by Stephen Frears ('Philomena', 'The Queen') tells the inspirational true story of the eponymous New York heiress who obsessively pursued her dream of becoming a great singer. The film celebrates the human spirit, the power of music and the passion of amateurs everywhere.

The voice Florence (Streep) heard in her head was divine, but to the rest of the world it was hilariously awful. At private recitals, her devoted husband and manager, St Clair Bayfield (Grant), managed to protect Florence from the truth. But when Florence decided to give her first public concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall, St Clair realised he had perhaps bitten off more than he could chew.

The film’s supporting cast members include Simon Helberg ('The Big Bang Theory') as Florence’s long suffering piano accompanist, Rebecca Ferguson ('Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation') and Nina Arianda ('Midnight in Paris').

Perform International & Rudolf Steiner House presents The Tempest.
Directed by Geoff Norris.
Produced by Adrian Locher.

The Tempest, the last of Shakespeare's magnificent works, is set on a mysterious, mythical, and magical island where karma holds sway. Here” noises, sounds and sweet airs give delight or sometimes afright” and all is in mercurial flux. The isle has a purgatorial quality and all who land on it are changed or set to face their shadow. Mind games and self-seeking machinations are rife and from the outset the potential for revenge is present but as the pieces are moved on the board by Prospero and his Ariel, what shall be the outcome? On this Isle we become our brother’s keepers, and the seeds for a future golden age of community can be laid.

When a crew of dirty cops is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist, they realise the only way to pull it off is to manufacture a 999, police code for “officer down”. The chaos that ensues when a police officer is shot in the line of duty is just the diversion they’ll need to do the job, but whether they have the will to kill one of their own is an entirely different matter, triggering a breakneck, action packed finale tangled with double-crosses, greed and revenge.

'Oddball And The Penguins'

26/3/2021

0 Comments

 
Off the coast from the small town of Warrnambool lies Middle Island, a sanctuary once home to thousands of the world’s smallest penguins. But since foxes learned to cross the shallow channel to the island, penguin numbers have plunged. And if they fall below ten, park ranger Emily Marsh will be out of a job. This shocks her father, eccentric chicken farmer Swampy Marsh. His wife ran the sanctuary, but when she passed away, Emily stepped in, while Swampy retreated to his farm. Emily’s nine-year-old daughter Olivia is the glue that keeps the family together.
And at the centre of everything is Oddball, Swampy’s rambunctious Maremma sheepdog. After Oddball goes on an off-leash run that nearly destroys Main Street, tensions rise. If the sanctuary closes, Emily plans to take Olivia and move away with Bradley, an American tourism consultant. So now Swampy might lose his daughter and granddaughter as well.
The solution comes when Swampy rescues an injured penguin from the island and discovers to his amazement that Oddball – who can’t bring himself to guard chickens – is an expert at guarding penguins. With two weeks until the final penguin count, Swampy and Olivia devise a crazy plan – train the rambunctious and unpredictable Oddball to protect the penguins and save the sanctuary, while somehow keeping the operation a secret from everyone.
Will Emily discover the truth? What about the suspicious Dogcatcher? And who is the shadowy person trying to make sure the sanctuary closes?
What follows is a rousing adventure as Oddball, Swampy and Olivia manage to save the penguin preserve, their family and the town itself.

'99 Homes'

22/1/2021

Around the world everyone knows that honest hard work gets you nowhere. In sunny Orlando, Florida, construction worker Dennis Nash learns this the hard way when he is evicted from his home by a charismatic, gun-toting real-estate broker, Rick Carver. Humiliated and homeless, Nash has no choice but to move his mom and nine-year old son into a shabby, dangerous motel. All is lost. Until an unexpected opportunity arises for Nash to strike a deal with the devil – he begins working for Carver in a desperate attempt to get his home back. Carver seduces Nash into a risky world of scamming and stealing from the banks and the government; he teaches Nash how the rich get richer. Living a double life, Nash hides his new boss and job from his family. He rises fast and makes real money; he dreams bigger. But there is a cost. On Carver’s orders, Nash must evict honest families from their homes – just as it happened to him. Nash’s conscience starts tearing him apart… but his son needs a home. In a dramatic high stakes climax, with a 1,000 home deal on the line, Nash will have to choose between destroying an honest man for the ultimate win or risking it all by going against Carver and finding redemption.

'Vacation'

22/1/2021

The next generation of Griswolds is at it again. New Line Cinema’s 'Vacation', starring Ed Helms ('The Hangover' films) and Christina Applegate (the 'Anchorman' films), takes the family on the road for another ill-fated adventure. The film marks Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley’s directorial debut.

Following in his father’s footsteps and hoping for some much-needed family bonding, a grown-up Rusty Griswold (Helms) surprises his wife, Debbie (Applegate), and their two sons with a cross-country trip back to America’s “favourite family fun park,” Walley World.

Rounding out the cast are Leslie Mann ('The Other Woman') as Rusty’s sister Audrey; Chris Hemsworth (the 'Thor' films) in the role of Stone Crandall, Rusty’s irritatingly successful brother-in-law; and Skyler Gisondo ('Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb', 'Hard Sell') and Steele Stebbins ('A Haunted House 2'), who play Rusty’s sons, James and Kevin. Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo reprise their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold from the classic 'Vacation' comedies.

Goldstein & Daley ('Horrible Bosses', 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2') wrote the script, based on characters created by John Hughes. David Dobkin (upcoming 'The Judge', 'Wedding Crashers') and Chris Bender ('We’re the Millers', 'Horrible Bosses 2') are producing, with Marc S. Fischer and Jeff Kleeman serving as executive producers.

The directors’ behind-the-scenes creative team also includes director of photography Barry Peterson (the Jump Street films, 'We’re the Millers'), production designer Barry Robison (Wedding Crashers', 'Pitch Perfect'), and costume designer Debra McGuire ('Ted').
'Vacation' is a New Line Cinema presentation. Set to hit cinemas August 21, 2015, it will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment company.

'The Human Centipede 3'

1/9/2021

0 Comments

 
In the annals of horror, only one film series is almost too disgusting to describe! Now the unthinkable has become all too real! The final chapter to the most notorious movie franchise ever made has arrived – 'The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence)'.

Bully prison warden Bill Boss (Dieter Laser), has a lot of problems; his prison statistically has the highest amount of prison riots, medical costs and staff turnover in the country. But foremost he is unable to get the respect he thinks he deserves from his inmates and the state Governor (Eric Roberts). He constantly fails in experimenting with different ideas for the ideal punishment to get the inmates in line, which drives him, together with the sizzling heat, completely insane.

Under threat of termination by the Governor, his loyal right hand man Dwight (Laurence R Harvey) comes up with a brilliant idea – a revolutionary idea which could change the American prison system for good and save billions of dollars. An idea based on the notorious Human Centipede movies that will literally and figuratively get the inmates on their knees, creating the ultimate punishment and deterrent for anyone considering a life of crime.  Having nothing to lose, Bill and Dwight create a jaw-dropping 500-person prison centipede.

Re-uniting the stars of the first two films (Dieter Laser & Laurence R. Harvey), 'The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence)' is the finale the world’s sickest horror franchise deserves. Nasty, revolting, and utterly deplorable, if you thought the first two films were gross, trust us, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
