Great British comedy arrives next month to Film Club

If you are a fan of British comedy, don't miss our next film scheduled for 1st March. It's a sidesplitting story of two British Policemen who become mixed up in some very strange murders.

It stars Simon Pegg who you will probably remember from Shaun of The Dead and like his first movie, wears his influences proudly on its sleeve.

2008 looks like it's going to be a fantastic year for movies with the new Cohen Brothers movie, "No Country for old Men", the New Batman movie directed by Brit Christopher Nolan and the new production by Mexico's own Guillermo del Toro, "The Orphanage".

FILM Session #1

The first session is on Wednesday 7th November at 19.00
until 21.00 in the BC auditorium.

To celebrate The Day of the Dead and Halloween, our first movie, is a romantic comedy......with Zombies ( or Zom Com as writer and star Simon Pegg lovingly calls it).

Directed by Edgar Wright, Shaun of the Dead was released to huge critical acclaim and commercial success in 2004.

The plot focuses on Shaun, an unmotivated young man, living in London who is attempting to find some kind of focus in his life. As he tries to get back with his ex-girlfriend and sort out various "issues" with his mother and stepfather, he also has to cope with an apocalyptic attack of bloodthirsty zombies.

Funny, scary, exciting and touching. This is the perfect way to spend your Wednesday night. Click the link at the bottom of the screen for a preview
