Events at New Picture House

Brideshead Revisited

Location	Date	Tickets
	Jarrold's revamp of Evelyn Waugh's classic novel pares back the opulent trimmings of the television series to expose the bare bones of Waugh's lament for the civilised past. Charting blithe social climber Charles Ryder (Goode) on his journey from humble Paddington digs to the aristocratic arcadia, the film focuses on his halting love affair with prim posho Julia (Atwell).
New Picture House, St Andrews	10 Oct–16 Oct 5.50	01334 474902

City of Ember

Location	Date	Tickets
	Students from the amazing underground city of Ember go through a series of adventures in order to sustain their special secret world for another 200 years. Ho-hum but visually impressive children's adventure sci-fi.
New Picture House, St Andrews	10 Oct–16 Oct 6.10 & 8.30; Sat, Sun & Wed 2.30, 6.10 & 8.30	01334 474902

Giulio Cesare, Opera in Three Acts

Location	Date	Tickets
	Filmed at the Glyndebourne Opera House, Robert McVicar's operatic production is based on the historical events of the Roman civil war of 48-47 bc.
New Picture House, St Andrews	12 Oct Sun 1.00	01334 474902

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People

Location	Date	Tickets
	Toby Young's semi-scandalous memoir about the period the gobby English journo spent carousing with the rich and famous while working at a glossy magazine in New York is given a mainstream movie makeover with this enjoyable enough romantic comedy. Young's rudely confessional and frequently very funny observations are now framed by a bland will-they-won't-they love story that sadly drowns every last scrap of satirical stab.
New Picture House, St Andrews	10 Oct–16 Oct 8.25	01334 474902

Mamma Mia! (Sing-a-Long)

Location	Date	Tickets
	A bride-to-be tries to find out the identity of her real father in the lead up to her wedding on a Greek island. Depressingly faithful film adaptation of abominable Broadway and West End ABBA song musical mega hit. The popularity of films like this certainly make one wonder about the rampancy of mental illness in our culture. With subtitled song lyrics to keep your audience participation word-perfect.
New Picture House, St Andrews	11 Oct–15 Oct Sat, Sun & Wed 2.10	01334 474902

Some Like It Hot

Location	Date	Tickets
	Two impecunious male musicians inadvertently witness the St Valentine's Day Massacre and take refuge in Florida with Sweet Sue and her Society Syncopators, an all-female band. Brilliant, brittle, crackerjack farce with all concerned at a peak in their careers.
New Picture House, St Andrews	15 Oct Wed 11.00	01334 474902

The Stone of Destiny

Location	Date	Tickets
	Smith's hysterical, historical heist film gets a Scotland-only release. Cox plays Ian Hamilton, a student who sets out to liberate the Stone of Destiny from Westminster Abbey and bring in back to Scotland. A cinematic non-event, devoid of thrills, excitement and even common sense.
New Picture House, St Andrews	10 Oct–16 Oct 6.00 & 8.25; Sat & Wed 2.20, 6.00 & 8.25	01334 474902
