THE multi-award winning sequel in the Chronicles of Narnia film series will prove a hit with all ages at the cinema this weekend.
The Tower Mill venue will bring to life the tale of Prince Caspian and the adventures of the Lion, the Witch and Wardrobe one year later. The f
our Pevensie children return to Narnia, only to discover that hundreds of years have passed since they ruled there, and the evil King Miraz has taken charge. With the help of a heroic mouse called Reepicheep, and the exiled heir to the throne, Prince Caspian, they set out to overthrow the King, once again with Aslan's help.
The 2008 Oscar-winning fantasy film and second in the much-loved C.S Lewis series is being screened twice on Saturday, Sunday afternoon, and Tuesday evening.
But tonight cinema-goers can make the most of an adventure of a different kind, with the 'Filmhouse Recommended' Mongol. The Mongolian film with English subtitles tells the tale of how a young boy became the legendary warrior Genghis Khan. Mongol is made by an award-winning Russian filmmaker Sergei Bodrov (Prisoner of the Mountains).
Here Sergei illuminates the life and legend of Genghis Khan in this stunning historical epic. Based on leading scholarly accounts and written by Bodrov and Arif Aliyev, Mongol delves into the dramatic and harrowing early years of the ruler who was born as Temudgin in 1162.
Next Thursday night also presents another Filmhouse recommended movie with the fast and pacy Female Agents. In French with English subtitles, Jean-Paul Salome's World War II tale is said to be loosely based on true stories of women working undercover.
Sophie Marceau, Julie Depardieu and Deborah Francois are among the actors who play a motley crew of female French commandos, recruited by the British, who are parachuted into occupied France in a rescue mission on which the security of the D-Day landings depends.
Female Agents is a pacy, handsome action movie with a female focus.
