A Christmas Star

An interesting, festive season venture, A Christmas Star is a Northern Ireland feature film which brings thousands of young people together from very different communities throughout Ireland to learn from each other, build community relations, develop practical skills and undergo a very intensive educational training programme that could see them direct access into the film industry and help unlock their creativity. Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan are two of those involved. The official Facebook page will tell you more.

Closer To the Moon

No official site which I could find easily for this film, but it stars one of my favourite movie actors, Vera Farmiga, in a Romanian-American comedy-drama film. For more detail, see the wikipedia page. For screening locations, see Find Any Film.

Fathers and Daughters

Showing at key cities only, Amanda Seyfried, Russell Crowe and Breaking Bad‘s Aaron Paul star in this drama about a Pulitzer-winning writer who grapples with being a widower and father after a mental breakdown. 27 years later, his grown daughter struggles to forge connections of her own. IMDb has the technical specs and everything else you need to know.

The Hallow

When a London-based conservationist is sent to Ireland with his wife and infant child to survey an area of forest believed to be hallowed ground by superstitious locals, his actions unwittingly disturb a horde of demonic creatures who prey upon the lost.

Dame Maggie Smith will need more roles like this now Downton Abbey is over.

Cute and very British comedy co-starring James Corden. See the official Facebook page for more, it will be showing at just about every UK cinema.

If you love all things Apple, this might suit you. Showing just about everyplace with a cinema screen, see the official website for the story and trailer.

Tangerine

Garnering a lot of attention is this relatively small scale film, shot entirely on a mobile phone camera. It’s Christmas Eve in Tinseltown and Sin-Dee is back on the block.

Starring Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth, this will be unavoidable in the run up to Christmas. See the official website for more.
