MoviesFilmhuis Lumen: The Luzhin Defence, thurs. to wed. 19:30, the always-excellent John Turturro stars in a thriller about chess, based on a novel by Nabokov.
br />
Delfia:
Cast Away, thrus to wed. 18:30 and 21:30, the movie that your Hollywood masters demand you spend your money on, starring the always rottenly melodramatic Tom Hanks and (surprise, surprise) timed to tie-in with TV’s current ‘Survivor’ and ‘Temptation Island’ fake, voyeuristic crap. Desert Isles have never been so popular. Tom Hanks gets fat, gets skinny, and overacts with a semi-deflated volleyball, the latter deserving the Oscar that’s surely destined for terrible Tom.
Billy Elliot, sat. + sun. + wed 22:00; fri. + mon + tues 21:30; a poor boy from a grim industrial town somewhere in England dreams of being either (A) a butcher (B) an alcoholic (C)a bus driver or (D) a ballet dancer. You figure out which one it is that’s got the women crying in the aisles.
Apollo:
Unbreakble thurs. to wed. 18:45 and 21:30 (Sunday only at 21:30) If you liked the Sixth Sense, you’ll positively jump for joy after this one while simultaneously muttering, ‘Boy, makes you think, don’t it?’ A simiiarly spooky, spirtual, quintessentially American let’s-pretend-our-material-world-ain’t-so-material movie. Bruce Willis stars, and Samuel Jackson sports the wig he was supposed to wear in Shaft, but obviously confused his movies. Apparently, after seeing this movie, a number of Americans threw themselves under trains to see if they too were unbreakable. Hope not
