The votes have been counted and verified and the next Film Club will be....

The BFG!

It was very close but you voted for this one by a margin of one.

The most recent Amazon review said:

“What a magical film. The extras are incredible especially the one on bringing the BFG to life. Everybody who purchases this will know the story from either the Roald Dahl book or the animated version with David Jason voicing the BFG in the 90s.Steven Spielberg has done a wonderfully sweet job here. The special effects are a sight to behold. Mark Rylance gives the great performance you would expect bringing a touch of pathos to the role of the BFG. Ruby Barnhill is a revelation as the young orphan Sophie giving a performance beyond her years. Anyone with children should have a copy of this movie. Anyone without any children should have a copy of this movie. Anyone who loves movies should have a copy of this movie. I loved it”

It was online so it must be true 

The format will follow the usual film club pattern; I will get the Academic Centre at Maidstone opened up for about6pm and serve refreshments in the dining room. We will aim to start the film at 6:30pm in the auditorium. Running time for this one is 117 minutes.

As always, the event is free to attend but we welcome donations to help with running costs. Over the next 5 months I am going to ask for additional donations to be made to Children with Cancer UK who I am running the London Marathon for in April next year; I will have the usual collection receptacles out on the night to collect spare change, or you can use this link to sponsor me if you can (just think about what you are saving on Odeon Pick 'n' Mix if you come to our cinema instead!): http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/EmmaAldrich

Hope to see lots of you there on the night.
