Britannica goes Paddington

Britannica's inofficial mascot Paddington has come to the cinemas and naturally we want to go and watch his adventures together! We have booked 15 tickets for the screening in Finnkino on Monday. You'll find all the information you need, and a sign-up sheet, right here!

The event in short:
WHAT? "Paddington" at the cinema
WHERE? Finnkino Åbo, Kauppiaskatu 11
WHEN? Monday 19th January, 17:15 (movie starts at 18:10)
HOW MUCH? ~9,30€ with student card (10,30€ without)

Also, note our little "special offer": if you haven't got Britannica's standard Paddington overall patch yet, this is your chance to buy it at a special price! It normally costs 3€, but during the cinema event you can buy one for 2€. If you want a patch, remember to indicate it on the sign-up sheet, and bring 2€ in cash to the movie. Please avoid the 20€ bills as we won't have large amounts of change with us!

Watch the trailer for the movie here to get in the mood:

See ya Monday!

Top movies 2014

I wanted to give one last salute here on the blog as well and what better way is there than to list some top films of the year? If you haven't seen these yet, do.

Frank by Lenny Abrahamson. Utterly brilliant and freakishly wonderful. Excellente.

La Grande Bellezza by Paolo Sorrentino. It's so beautiful I could cry. Stahp.

Her by Spike Jonze. Original, stylish, human.


OH the feels,

feel good films

Hey guys,

I thought I'd introduce a new segment in our blog: film tips! First up three feel good pearls from the late 2000s:

1. Lars and the real girl (2007) by Craig Gillespie.

Heartwarming tale about Ryan Gosling falling in love with a life sized doll, from back when Gosling wasn't seen as just a sex symbol.

2. Away We Go (2009) by Sam Mendes.

Sweet roadmovie about a couple that struggle to find their own space. Lovely chemistry between John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph.

3. Be Kind Rewind (2008) by Michel Gondry.

Buddy comedy about remaking accidentally erased videotapes in a surprisingly witty, crocheted way.

Have a grand weekend,

Matilda x
