Red Dog
8 December 2012

SATURDAY, 8 DECEMBER, 7-30PM
RED DOG Australian family-comedy-drama, directed by Kriv Stenders, written by Louis de Bernières, starring Josh Lucas, Noah Taylor, Keisha Castle-Hughes. 92 min. Rated PG. The highest-grossing Australian film of 2011 and recently voted one of Australia’s top 10 films of all time. Based on Louis de Bernières’ ("Captain Correlli’s Mandolin") novella, "Red Dog" chronicles the real-life travels of a much-loved dog through western Australia's Pilbara region in the 1970s. In the newly established mining town of Dampier, miners, steelworkers, crawler excavator drivers come from all over the world. When the sun goes down, these straight-talking grafters make their way to the local watering hole where they drink, reminisce and have a good old brawl. But one particular night, things are somewhat quieter than usual. In the back room a dog is drawing its last breath. And this isn’t just any old dog - this is Red Dog, a dog everybody knows and loves and about whom everyone has a story to tell. Opening with a shot of Dampier's Mermaid hotel and closing with a fading view of the outback, the cinematography shows the Pilbara in all its glory. In a time when the market in family films is dominated by studio CGI blockbusters, it is a refreshing surprise to find a beguiling work from an idea that goes all the way back to the adventures of Lassie and Tin Tin. “In the tradition of films such as semi-fictionalised "The Castle," it's a hilarious and occasionally sad look at a side of Australian life whose essence is rarely captured with such affectionate accuracy.” — Giles Anderton, The Guardian

Mao's Last Dancer
10 November 2012

SATURDAY, 10 NOVEMBER, 7-30PM
MAO'S LAST DANCER Australian epic drama, directed by Bruce Beresford, starring Bruce Greenwood. 117 min. Rated 12A. A giant hit at the 2009 Toronto Film Festival, "Mao’s Last Dancer," by the great Australian director Bruce Beresford ("Driving Miss Daisy"), is a feel-good film bursting with courage, energy and overwhelming inspiration. Based on the best-selling memoirs by dance sensation Li Cunxin, it is the epic saga of a poor Chinese peasant boy living during the dictatorship of Mao Tse-tung, who is plucked from a crude, one-room schoolhouse in the remote rural province of Shandong at age 11 and sent to ballet school at Madame Mao’s Dance Academy in Beijing, eventually becoming a principal dancer with the Houston Ballet and ending up a celebrated international star. Unbelievable but true, it is as entertaining as it is astounding. In the cherished tradition of heartbreaking movies about personal triumph against impossible odds, it is a combination of "Billy Elliot" and "Rocky." — Rex Reed, The New York Observer

COMING UP
	The Awakening. 8 September 2012

SATURDAY, 8 SEPTEMBER, 7-30PM
THE AWAKENING UK thriller-horror, directed by Nick Murphy, starring Rebecca Hall, Dominic West, Imelda Staunton. 107 min. Rated 15. Here is a supernatural melodrama in the tradition of "The Innocents," or Alejandro Amenábar's "The Others." Rebecca Hall plays Florence Cathcart, a campaigning rationalist and hoax-buster in 1919, exposing phoney spiritualists who prey on credulous souls tormented with postwar grief. Then schoolmaster Robert Mallory (Dominic West) asks her to investigate a tragic case at his boarding school: a sickly boy has reportedly died of fright at seeing a ghostly child with a "twisted face." Florence accepts, suspecting some deception, or group hysteria. But naturally things are not as clear as that. There are some nicely creepy moments, and director and co-writer Nick Murphy interestingly dramatises some of the neuroses feeding the appetite for ghostly phenomena – repressed sexuality, guilt and self-harm. — Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

WIN! – tickets for the circus

Thursday, July 12, 2012

West Briton

CELEBRATING 50 years in show- business, the world-famous Gerry Cottle's Circus is back for the very last time with its outstanding new production, WOW! 50 Acts in 100 Minutes.

To celebrate What's On has ten family tickets to give away.

WOW! is a spectacular new show featuring a host of world-class circus acts from around the globe, including the breathtaking Chico & Ernesto two-man high wire act from Italy who walk the wire blindfolded.

The death-defying Los Marinos wheel of death from Columbia, the six big top beauties flying high on the aerial silks, the somersaulting, spiralling and supreme ten African acrobats, International Illusionists the Magical Melvilles, and comedy capers from Cottle's Crazy Comics to name a few.

All this is infused with a visionary new wave of remarkably talented Circus Kids who have been trained at Gerry Cottle's pioneering training school in Wookey Hole, Somerset.

Also included in this awe-inspiring ensemble of visual delights is the weird and wonderful talents of Mad Max Norton the crossbow king, who shoots an apple off the head of his beautiful assistant from across the circus ring.

Created by the circus king himself Gerry Cottle, he said: "Circus in the UK needed a kick up the butt so much so I decided to call my new show WOW!, to set aside from some of the so called circuses touring the UK.

"I am so pleased to be back and show people everywhere the joy and magic of great Circus.

"For the same price as a cinema ticket I give you my personal guarantee you will see some brilliant acts from around the world, and witness incredible live entertainment at its very best."

Gerry Cottle's Circus is synonymous with family entertainment and became the most travelled circus in the world with tours as far afield as Hong Kong, Oman, South America, Iceland, Singapore and the Middle East.

This year marks 50 years from the time that the young Gerry ran away from home to join the circus.

You can see the show on Friday to Sunday at Launceston RFC, Polson Bridge (A388); 5pm and 7.30pm; Saturday 2pm and 5pm and Sunday, 3pm.

Tuesday, July 17 to Thursday, July 19; Royal Cornwall Showground, Wadebridge, Tuesday and Wednesday, 5pm and 7.30pm, Thursday, 5pm.
