Lights, Canny, Action!

Join me as I explore what Newcastle's independent cinemas have to offer all us film lovers!

[Lights, Canny, Action! @CannyAction]

"John Hughes’ hilarious and heart-warming holiday favourite” #PlanesTrainsAndAutomobiles is on @tynesidecinema’s Cult Christmas programme this year.

Not one I’ve heard of before but does this movie make it onto your Christmas list? Is it worth a watch?

Next week, @tynesidecinema are screening a 4K restoration of a traditional fairy-tale throwback. #TheRedShoes tells the classic story of a woman torn between #love and #passion , with the added spectacle of ballet.

Not in the mood for a cheesy Christmas movie? How about a #ghoststory?

@StarAndShadow is back with the 2nd annual ghost stories for Christmas evening, screening BBC shorts #TheStallsOfBarchester, #Stigma and #TheDeadRoom, and having a Q&A after.

[Lights, Canny, Action! @CannyAction]

It seems like they aren’t the only ones craving a #horror. @tynesidecinema is also showing a handful of the BBC’s A Ghost Story for Christmas!

Their top three picks are #TheSignalman, #AWarningToTheCurious and #IllComeToYou. Do you dare to go and watch?

3. Friends of @tynesidecinema, clear your schedule. You get to see an exclusive, free screening of #Wonka tomorrow!

Not a member yet? With food and ticket discounts, three free tickets a year and priority booking, it might be time to reconsider.

1. #NewRelease! Take a trip down memory lane with #Wonka at @tynesidecinema today.

#TimotheeChalamet stars as the young chocolatier, with #HughGrant as his oompa loompa, but will his performance be more iconic than #JohnnyDepp’s or #GeneWilder's?

[Wonka Movie @WonkaMovie]

Step into a world of pure imagination. ✨ #WonkaMovie - Only in theaters December 15.

[Lights, Canny, Action! @CannyAction]

2. And if this wonderful world of whacky flavours and weird confectionary will have your mouth watering, why not watch #NewRelease #Wonka at @Everymancinema, where you can order similar treats right to your seat.

What’s your go to cinema snack?

3. Check out the inner workings of the film, as told by the director, #SofiaCoppola.

[Rotten Tomatoes 🍅 @RottenTomatoes]

"It was really important that we recreate a Graceland that felt real and also had all the lavishness and glamor."

Sofia Coppola shares how essential Graceland is to the story of Elvis and #Priscilla.

[Lights, Canny, Action! @CannyAction]

1. In two week’s time, @Everymancinema is bringing you a preview of #Priscilla and a chance to look behind the scenes, with a recorded Q&A with director #Sofia Coppola.

We’ve seen a lot of #Elvis movies now, do you think there’s anything left to reveal?

https://t.co/0lkqOd32Ks

[Lights, Canny, Action! @CannyAction]

2. But if you can't catch the preview, catch the #NorthEast's exclusive screenings at @tynesidecinema starting from #BoxingDay.

[Priscilla @PriscillaMovie]

Wife to the king. Icon to the world. Destined for more.

@A24 presents Sofia Coppola’s #PriscillaMovie, starring Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi. In theaters everywhere November 3.

[Lights, Canny, Action! @CannyAction]

2. And @Everymancinema is taking this trend right into #Christmas with the Royal Opera House’s The Nutcracker.

Enjoy the whimsical storyline, spectacular dancing, and vibrant designs of this live performance.

[Lights, Canny, Action! @CannyAction]

1. Also hopping on the trend is @Everymancinema, with National Theatre Live’s Skylight being broadcast live from the West End.

Imagine being able to see a West End performance right here in #Newcastle, and in one of the most luxurious screens no less!

2. First up is @tynesidecinema, with Met Opera: Florencia en el Amazonas, bringing the "#mystical realm of the Amazon to the Met stage.”

I’ve never really considered going to see an #opera, but maybe this would be the perfect opportunity to test it out?

1. The brand new trend of streaming live performances in cinemas is taking off, from #ballet, to #opera, to #theatre.

You can now go and see any performance you want, without having to get all fancy, enjoying a relaxed show at your local cinema.

[Lights, Canny, Action! @CannyAction]

3. Or, if you’re not a huge fan of a #romance, why not go to see the #Christmas comedy, #ChristmasInJuly, where one small trick leads to a “hilarious train of events" that no-one could have predicted.

#festive #comedy #Tynesidecinema

[Lights, Canny, Action! @CannyAction]

1. Romance is this fortnights theme for @tynesidecinema's alternative #Christmas programme, starting with a screening of #Carol.

It tells the story of forbidden love in the 1950s, but, as always, these romances don’t tend to go the way they’re planned.

https://t.co/dWR8B7HbKy

[Lights, Canny, Action! @CannyAction]

2. Next week is kicking off with #TheUmbrellasOfCherbourg, winner of the highest award at #Cannes back in 1964!

This musical is a visually breath-taking story of a young woman facing an ultimatum between love and stability.

#WARNING: bring your tissues!

How many times do you think you’ve seen this #Christmas classic?

Surely, you’d know all these little details and fun facts then?

Throwback of this week is #TheHoliday, and can you name a better #Christmas movie?

It has everything from #romance to #tragedy and plot twists!

So, grab your complimentary drink and popcorn and let this feel-good movie take you into the #festive season.
