🕯️ CONSIDER THIS YOUR INVITATION BACK TO THE OWENS HOUSE.

PRACTICAL MAGIC 2 comes to Mockingbird Cinema from Friday 11 September, with screenings through Thursday 17 September.

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return as Sally and Gillian Owens, twenty-eight years after the original. Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest are back as the aunts, too. That’s a family reunion worth getting the group chat organised for.

For centuries, the Owens women have lived with a curse that makes falling in love a dangerous business. Now, with their family’s future at stake, they must confront the secrets behind it and decide what they are willing to sacrifice for one another.

Directed by Susanne Bier and based on Alice Hoffman’s novel THE BOOK OF MAGIC, the sequel brings another generation into the family, with Joey King and Maisie Williams joining the cast alongside Lee Pace.

For everyone who has worn out their copy of the original, knows the midnight margaritas scene by heart and still wants to live in that house, there’s finally a reunion to arrange.

Bring your sister, your best friend or the person you’ve been making watch Practical Magic every autumn since 1998.

🧹 There’s room for a few more witches in Digbeth.

🏝️ THE COUNCIL HAS SENT SOMEONE ROUND. HE MAY BE A WHILE.

THE INCOMER is now showing at Mockingbird Cinema

Isla and Sandy live on a remote Orkney island, hunting seabirds, keeping their father’s stories alive and fiercely defending their home from outsiders. They have spent decades building a life that makes perfect sense to them.

Then Daniel arrives to explain that the council would like them to leave.

Domhnall Gleeson plays the unfortunate official, whose efforts to relocate the siblings become increasingly complicated once he gets to know them. Gayle Rankin and Grant O’Rourke are Isla and Sandy, a pair with strong opinions about visitors and an elaborate set of customs involving seagulls.

Written and directed by Louis Paxton, this Scottish comedy finds plenty to laugh at in their awkward encounters, homemade mythology and mutual bewilderment. As their defences start to slip, an unlikely friendship develops between three people who have become rather good at being alone.

With John Hannah and Michelle Gomez also in the cast, there is plenty of trouble waiting on both sides of the water.

⭐ THE REVIEWS

★★★★ “A delightfully dotty Scottish comedy” — Time Out
“A winningly weird comedy” — The Daily Beast
“A sweet, savory blend of oddball mythology and deadpan humor” — TheWrap

🎟️ National Cinema Weekend tickets are £4 on 5 & 6 September, or £3 for Mockingbird Members.

🥄Having a clear out. Do you want your own framed spoon?

Just pop in and shout either “I’m tired, I’m wasted... I love you, darling!” Or “You don’t understand anything, man. Leave your stupid comments in your pocket! Or “Why, Johnny? Why? Johnny, why? Why?” Or something like that and you can have one

There’s a chance some of the staff haven’t seen The Room and think your mad, but that’s part of the fun.

📚 WHAT IF SOMEONE REDISCOVERED THE DREAM YOU GAVE UP ON 40 YEARS AGO?

LATE FAME opens at Mockingbird Cinema this Friday 4 September.

Ed Saxberger published a slim book of poetry in his twenties. It disappeared almost without trace, and Ed eventually settled into a quiet life working for the post office.

Then, decades later, a young writer appears at his door carrying a copy.

Meyers thinks Ed is a forgotten literary genius and introduces him to a group of young New York creatives calling themselves The Enthusiasm Society. Suddenly there are readings, parties, admirers and people hanging on words Ed assumed nobody remembered.

There is also Gloria, a magnetic actress played by Greta Lee, who makes this unexpected return to the spotlight even more complicated.

Willem Dafoe is superb as a man enjoying the attention while quietly wondering what it means. Is this the recognition he always deserved, nostalgia dressed up as discovery, or simply one last chance to feel creatively alive?

Directed by Kent Jones and written by MAY DECEMBER screenwriter Samy Burch, LATE FAME adapts Arthur Schnitzler’s 1895 novella into a warm, funny and melancholy New York story about ambition, ageing, vanity and the strange business of being noticed.

⭐ THE REVIEWS

★★★★ “Willem Dafoe superb as ever as twilight-years bohemian getting a second chance.” — The Guardian

★★★★ “Willem Dafoe is outstanding in this observant character study.” — Radio Times

“A perfect Willem Dafoe.” — Sight & Sound

🍅 The film currently sits at 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.

🎟️ Plus, this weekend is National Cinema Weekend:
Saturday & Sunday tickets £4
🐦 Mockingbird Members £3

🛎️ A VACANCY HAS OPENED AT THE GRAND BUDAPEST.

Check in is tonight at 8pm.

THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL returns to Mockingbird Cinema as part of our Wes Anderson Season, and for one evening only you are invited to spend the night in Zubrowka’s most famous establishment.

Your concierge is Monsieur Gustave H.

Immaculately dressed, impeccably mannered and permanently surrounded by trouble, Gustave runs the Grand Budapest with military precision until the death of one of his wealthiest guests drags him and his young lobby boy Zero into a stolen painting, a vast inheritance, a prison break and a rapidly changing Europe.

🏨 Ralph Fiennes is on glorious form as Gustave, joined by Tony Revolori, Saoirse Ronan, Willem Dafoe, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Murray and enough familiar faces to fill every room in the hotel.

Wes Anderson packs every corridor, train carriage, lift and pastry box with ridiculous detail, while Alexandre Desplat’s Oscar-winning score keeps the whole thing moving at full speed.

⭐ THE REVIEWS

★★★★ “One of Anderson’s very best films.” — Time Out

“A deeply pleasurable immersion.” — The Guardian

“Ralph Fiennes in roaring form.” — The Observer

THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL went on to receive nine Academy Award nominations and win four, including Production Design, Costume Design and Original Score.

So if you are free tonight, we happen to have a room available.

The concierge is expecting you.
