Synopsis
Critics have
said that this is the best and most insightful anti-war film about
Iraq. Kathryn Bigelow's blazingly powerful action movie has
unpretentious clarity thus making this film such a refreshing change
from other films about war. She also made history by becoming the
first woman to receive the Oscar for best director.
The film is set
in 2004 in and around Baghdad and deals with the final 38 days of an
infantry company's tour of duty when they're wondering who will make it
home. The three main characters form a bomb disposal unit with a
running theme that centres on Sergeant James's (Jeremy Renner) cool
recklessness - he is a man addicted to combat - this impresses senior
officers but distresses his close colleagues, whose lives he puts in
danger.
Unlike most war
movies this is non-judgemental and doesn't see the soldiers as victims,
what the film depicts is them trying to do a job and to show us what it
feels like to be in a war where anyone around you, male or female,
young or old may be planning your death at every step.

For decades, trams rattled along the
streets of towns and cities across East Anglia. The arrival of
the motor car and bus changed the way people travelled and soon the
tramways were no more. Take a look back at our regions lost
tramways including 'Dick Joice presents his Farewell To Trams' - a
special anniversary outing on the Wisbech to Upwell tramway, Southend's
Boulevard tram and pier train and the early days of the tram
preservation movement at Carlton Colville.
Running time approximately sixty minutes

'An
Education' is set in 1962, the heroine is 16-year-old schoolgirl Jenny
Miller (Carey Mulligan), the only child of conventional, lower-middle
class parents and the film's title has a double eaning, one scholastic
and the other sentimental. First, it refers to her sixth-form work at
Twickenham girl's school, the prize pupil with a place at Oxford hers
for the taking. It also refers to the dangerous relationship that
begins when David (Peter Sarsgaard), a seemingly wealthy charmer gives
her a lift home in his sports car and threatens to deflect her
disastrously from this liberating future.
This is the world of
Harold Macmillan's 'you've never had it so good' - a Britain before
1963 then the Profumo scandal opened up and gave us a view of a
different, more corrupt nation, and the Beatles, The Stones and the
Great Train robbers ushered in the swinging 60's and the permissive
society. Great fun movie!
