Since it's near the middle of November we'll finally get around to mentioning Christmas. The same as every year, The Cameo will only close on Christmas Day so you'll have every opportunity to escape the festive madness by relaxing in the best cinema in town. There may be minor alterations to opening and closing times on 24/26/31 December and 1 January, which will be advertised beforehand.
Save yourself a lot of hassle by getting your friends, family and people you admire from afar a Cameo Membership for Christmas. It's the present that keeps on giving and they will love you more than anybody else for being so thoughtful.
Gift Vouchers are always available priced £5 and £10. They can be spent in the bar and the kiosk as well as at the Box Office so they really are a gift of all-consuming joy.
As ever IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE will be screening in the days running up to Christmas. This year there will be shows from Friday 19 December up until 24 December. Selected shows will be in Screen One including the all-important shows on Christmas Eve. |

Origin: United States Year: 2008 Duration: 130m Starring: Ellen Burstyn, Oliver Stone, James Cromwell, Elizabeth Banks, Josh Brolin, Toby Jones

Stone sees Dub-ya's rise to power as a great, almost Capra-esque story: how did a onetime reprobate and black sheep of his esteemed family rise to become Leader of the Free World? W. shifts back and forth between Bush's hard-partying younger years and his first term in office, showing the highs of his rise to power but also giving ample airing to the lows. The formidable task of playing him falls to Josh Brolin, who continues his excellent run of performances (NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH). Stone has assembled an impressive cast around him, including Thandie Newton as Condoleezza Rice, Scott Glenn as Donald Rumsfeld and Richard Dreyfuss as Dick Cheney.
*Contains brief strong reality footage of war

Director: Matteo Garrone Origin: Italy Year: 2008 Duration: 137m Starring: Salvatore Abruzzese, Simone Sacchettino, Maria Nazionale, Salvatore Cantalupo

Based on the bestselling book by Roberto Saviano, this is perhaps the most realistic and resolutely unsentimental Mafia picture to emerge from Italy. Power, money and blood: these are the 'values' that the residents of Naples and Caserta have to live with every day; they are forced to obey the rules of the system, or the Camorra. Five stories are woven together in this violent scenario, set in a cruel and apparently imaginary world, but one that is deeply rooted in reality. This powerful and visceral work, which acts as a mirror reflection of recent headlines in Italy, benefits from director Garrone's understated style, and the violence, when it arrives, is un-sensationalised.
Note: this film is subtitled

Director: Saul Dibb Origin: United Kingdom Year: 2008 Duration: 110m Starring: Charlotte Rampling, Ralph Fiennes, Keira Knightley

Based on the bestselling historical biography, Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire by Amanda Foreman, THE DUCHESS is an intelligent and compelling portrait of a remarkable woman. Married young to the cool and distant Duke of Devonshire (Fiennes, THE CONSTANT GARDENER), intimate of ministers and princes, Georgiana (Knightley, ATONEMENT, THE EDGE OF LOVE) was a fashion icon, a doting mother and a shrewd political operator. But at the core of her story is a desperate search for warmth and love. From her passionate and doomed affair with Earl Grey (Cooper, THE HISTORY BOYS) to her complex ménage à trois with her husband and her best friend, Lady Bess Foster (Atwell, CASSANDRA'S DREAM), THE DUCHESS is a very contemporary tale of fame, notoriety and the quest for love.

Director: Mark Herman Origin: United Kingdom, United States Year: 2008 Duration: 94m Starring: Rupert Friend, Vera Farmiga, David Thewlis, David Heyman

Adapted from John Boyne's bestselling novel, THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS is a fictional story that offers a unique and powerful perspective on how prejudice, hatred and violence affect innocent people during wartime. Told through the eyes of an eight-year-old German boy shielded from the reality of World War II, this unforgettable tale follows an unlikely friendship that forms between Bruno (Asa Butterfield), the son of a Nazi commandant, and Shmuel (Jack Scanlon), a Jewish boy held captive in a concentration camp. Though a barbed-wire fence physically separates the two, their friendship grows and their lives become inescapably and tragically entwined. This is an enlightening, sobering and informative work for all generations of filmgoers.
