Captain Phillips

The main feature for Saturday night stars Tom Hanks in Captain Phillips. 

Captain Phillips is a multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama’s commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (two time Academy Award®-winner Tom Hanks), and the Somali pirate captain, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), who takes him hostage. Phillips and Muse are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips’ unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, 145 miles off the Somali coast, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control.

Big River Man

Our next cinema weekend is the 13th and 14th of June when we will be starting on the Friday night with the documentary Big River Man.

‘Director John Maringouin has chanced upon documentary gold – Strel is the sort of off-kilter character even the most imaginative fiction writer would have had trouble dreaming up’. – 4 Stars, Tim Evans, Sky News

In February 2007 Martin Strel began an insane attempt to be the first person to swim the entire length of the world’s most dangerous river, the mighty Amazon. Martin is an endurance swimmer from Slovenia, who swims rivers – the Mississippi, the Danube and the Yangtze to date – to highlight their pollution to the world. Martin is also a rather overweight, horseburger loving Slovenian in his fifties who drinks two bottles of red wine a day… even when swimming.
