Films of the week

Ted
John Bennett works for a car rental company and has no ambition other than to romance his beautiful and successful girlfriend, Lori. His best friend in the world is a talking stuffed bear called Ted, who magically came to life on Christmas Day 1985. Their close relationship causes friction with Lori. Faced with losing the woman of his dreams, John reluctantly asks Ted to move out of the appartment and stand on his own two paws.

The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists
The Pirate Captain is the leader of a ragtag group of sea dogs, whose enthusiasm far exceeds their ability to plunder booty. As a result, The Pirate Captain and his crew are a laughing stock, derided by rivals such as Black Bellamy, Cutlass Liz and Peg Leg Hastings. To prove the naysayers wrong, The Pirate Captain sets out to capture a Bank of England treasure ship. Instead, he storms The Beagle and captures Charles Darwin and his primate manservant, Mister Bobo.

These films are showing at Dagenham Leisure Park, Cook Road, Dagenham, RM9 6UQ, tel: 0871-224 0240.
