Joyful Noise

Directed by: Todd Graff

Starring: Kris Kristofferson, Queen Latifah, Dolly Parton

Comedy
Joyful Noise is a funny and inspirational story of music, hope, love and renewal. The small town of Pacashau, Georgia, has fallen on hard times, but the people are counting on the Divinity Church C oir to lift their spirits by winning the National Joyful Noise Competition. The choir has always known how to sing in harmony, but the discord between its two leading ladies now threatens to tear them apart. Their
newly appointed director, Vi Rose Hill, stubbornly wants to stick with their tried-and-true traditional style, while the fiery G.G. Sparrow thinks tried-and-true translates to tired-and-old.

The Iron Lady

Directed by: Phyllida Lloyd

Starring: Meryl Streep

Byopic
The most striking aspect of Phyllida Lloyd’s Margaret Thatcher biopic The Iron Lady (2011) is in its treading-oneggshells approach to dealing with the politics that made
the grocer’s daughter from Grantham such a polarising figure. Whilst Lloyd has since made it explicitly clear that that was her intended approach in depicting the Iron Lady (played magnificently by Academy Award winner Meryl Streep), those of us who grew up in a country divided by the ominous shadow cast by Thatcher may feel a little shortchanged.
Unlikely friendship around a secret writing project - one that breaks society’s rules and puts them all at risk. Filled with poignancy, humour and hope - and complete
with compelling, never-before-seen bonus features - The Help is a timeless, universal and triumphant story about the ability to create change.

By the time T.V. programs are printed on local publications and seen by viewers, they are often out of date.

It is very annoying to look forward to a film or program to find out that it has been changed or replaced days or weeks, often hours, before it is due to be shown.
