TODAY'S SHOWINGS AT BARRY'S MEMO ARTS CENTRE:

LITTLE WOMEN (U):

Writer-director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) has crafted a Little Women that draws on both the classic novel and the writings of Louisa May Alcott, and unfolds as the author's alter ego, Jo March, reflects back and forth on her fictional life. In Gerwig's take, the beloved story of the March sisters – four young women each determined to live life on her own terms – is both timeless and timely. Portraying Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth March, the film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, with Timothee Chalamet as their neighbour Laurie, Laura Dern as Marmee, and Meryl Streep as Aunt March. Running time: 135 mins

Showings: Friday 31 January 2 pm

Tickets: £7, £5 concession, £4 U16 in advance (additional 0.50p on the door)

Time Credits will be accepted on Thursday 06 February at 1:30 pm

SPIES IN DISGUISE (PG):

Super spy Lance Sterling and scientist Walter Beckett are poles apart. Lance is smooth and debonair. Walter is not. But what Walter lacks in social skills he makes up for with brains and invention, creating the ingenious gadgets Lance relies on for his epic missions. But when events take an unexpected turn, Walter and Lance suddenly have to rely on each other in a completely new way. Running time: 102 mins

Showings: Friday 31 January 5:30 pm

Tickets: £4 in advance (additional 0.50p on the door)

Time Credits will be accepted on Sunday 02 February 3 pm
