American Fiction (15)

Directed by: Cord Jefferson
CAST: Issa Rae, Adam Brody, Leslie Uggams, John Ortiz, Erika Alexander,
Sterling K. Brown, Jeffrey Wright & Tracee Ellis Ross.
(Running time: 1hr 57mins)

AMERICAN FICTION is Cord Jefferson’s hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiJng from “Black” entertainment that relies on Jred and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness.

Steve Smith – Beaminster Post Office’s Mobile Service

It will be a year next month that the Post Office van started visiting the Comrades Hall car park every Monday 12.15-1.15pm and on Thursday mornings at 9.15-10.45.

As there is much more to the internet than social media, the editor felt it proper to share Steve’s video which he posted on Facebook yesterday for visitors to the website who do not use social media…

A Huge Thank you to Steve and his team at Beaminster Post Office who have all been committed from day one to keep a Post Office service going for all of the communities they serve.  🙂

Broadwindsor Film Club – Friday, 18th Oct.

At 7.30pm at the Comrades Hall Friday, 18th October, Broadwindsor’s Community Film Club will be showing…

The Bikeriders (15)

 Directed by Jeff Nichols
Starring Austin Butler, Jodie Comer and Tom Hardy

The Bikeriders capture a rebellious time in America when the culture and people were changing.  After a chance encounter at a local bar, strong-willed Kathy (Jodie Comer) is inextricably drawn to Benny (Austin Butler), the newest member of Midwestern motorcycle club, the Vandals, led by the enigmatic Johnny (Tom Hardy).  Much like the country around it, the club begins to evolve, transforming from a gathering place for local outsiders into a dangerous underworld of violence, forcing Benny to choose between Kathy and his loyalty to the club.

  • Doors open at 7pm for 7.30pm.
  • Film Club members – Free entry
  • Guests – £4 (cash please)
  • To help estimate numbers, please book your ticket(s) in advance by contacting: Alex Cook, Admin and membership secretary,

  • Help with daily living tasks
  • Making lifestyle changes
  • Combating isolation/loneliness

  • Frequent attendance GP or A&E

Come along for a coffee and a chat with the team.

Note: This will be alongside FareShare operating that morning but your privacy will be maintained.
