Page 14 Forthcoming Events Stradbroke Cinema Thank you for supporting your local “Cinema”, and we look forward to seeing you again in the New Year. Our first film will be on Thursday, 16th. January, “Blue Jasmine” 7 for 7.30 pm. Bar open and Ice creams in the interval. Entrance £5.50. Blue Jasmine is the latest from Woody Allen, whose recent movies have been critical and popular smash hits. Jasmine (Cate Blanchett) has always been the lucky one, something to do with being married to a very rich man who spoils her rotten. But when she falls on hard times and her world starts to crumble, she hot-foots it to San Francisco where her sister Ginger (Sally Hawkins) is living a much more down-to-earth existence. Can Jasmine pull it together before her sister gets to the end of her tether? Or is she too far gone? Blue Jasmine shows a legendary director at the top of his game. If you’ve read A Streetcar Named Desire you’ll notice very strong echoes between the lead character here and Tennessee Williams’ anti-hero, Blanche Du Bois. A gripping, powerful and superbly crafted film about a lost soul with nowhere to go. The other films to be shown, yet to be confirmed, are “Rush” on Saturday, 8th February, “Le Weekend” Thursday, 20th February, “Philomena” on Thursday, 20th March, and “Last Vegas” on Thursday, 17th April.
