Daylesford’s new Phoenix cinema is running a full programme of children’s favourites during the school holidays. `Minions & Monsters’ introduces a fresh tribe of Minions who find fame in Hollywood when films are starting, only to be cast out when the “talkies” come along. How will they survive?
`Minions & Monsters’ screens daily at the community owned and run cinema from June 25 to July 13.
`Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu’ is the next big step in the `Star Wars’ story after a seven-year gap. It is the 7pm show from Thursday, 25, June, and then at 4.30pm from 11-13 July.
`E.T.:The Extra Terrestrial’ drops in on Monday, 29 June, at 2pm Saturday, 4 July, at 4.30 and Wednesday 8 July at 11am.
`Toy Story 5′ shows that old toys can learn new tricks as these loveable characters keep winning hearts. It has 11 daily screenings from Thursday, 2 July,
And just for something different, Steven Spielberg’s `Disclosure Day’ is described as a breathless pursuit of optimism in an age of conspiracy. What helps it over the line is a career best performance by Emily Blunt. It’s on at 7pm for 12 screenings from Thursday, 2 July.
`H is for Hawk’ is based on an award winning true-life book and has won critical praise for its raw imagery, bruising realism and thoughtful candour. It shows on Thursday, 25 June at 2pm and two days later at 4.30pm.
Heartache, emotional conflict, plus authentic characters and original songs, `Power Ballad’ has it all. Best description: a funnier cousin to `A Star is Born’.
On at 2pm, Friday 26 June, 4.30pm Sunday 28 June and 2pm Wednesday, 1 July.
Julie Andrews’s performance in `Mary Poppins’ is the stuff of legends. Generations have been charmed by the nanny arriving in London to reconnect parents with their two children. 30 June and 2 July at 11am.
