Based on the children's novel by Roald Dahl, Fantastic Mr Fox (PG) is coming to Wells Film Centre this week. Mr Fox, Mrs Fox, and all their fox babies live under a hill under a tree, along with Badger, Rabbit, Weasel, and all of their families.

To make ends meet, every night, Mr Fox steals a meal from one of the three crooked farmers – Boggis, a chicken farmer, Bunce, who has a little bit of everything but only eats duck liver, and Bean, who farms turkeys and apples and subsists solely on cider.

With his keen sense of smell, and the farmers' distinctive diets, Mr Fox has no problem evading them.

But then one day the farmers decide to get even.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (12A), opening at Wells this week, is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present day.

It tells the story of Dr Parnassus and his extraordinary Imaginarium, a travelling show.

Dr Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret as long ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr Nick, in which he won immortality.

Many centuries later, on meeting his one true love, Dr Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on condition that when his first-born reached its 16th birthday he or she would become the property of Mr Nick.

Valentina is now rapidly approaching this milestone and Dr Parnassus is desperate to protect her from her impending fate.

Michael Jackson's This Is It (PG) is coming to Wells for 16 days only starting on Wednesday.

It is a compilation of interviews, rehearsals and backstage footage of Michael Jackson as he prepared for his series of sold-out shows in London.

Tomorrow at 7.30pm, Strode Theatre in Street is showing Spanish director Pedro Almodovar's stylish new melodrama Broken Embraces (15), in the original Spanish with subtitles.

Harry Caine is a screen writer who lost his sight in a horrific accident in Lanzarote 14 years earlier.

Until then he was a successful film director, going under his real name Mateo Blanco.

Adopting his former pseudonym and thus killing off his past persona, he has built up a new life with his devoted secretary Judit and her son Diego.

But then Harry hears of the death of an industrialist he once knew, and, shortly after, the dead man's son approaches him with a curious proposition, and Harry's long-buried former life and painful memories flood to the surface.

On Saturday at 7.30pm Strode is holding a repeat screening of the Local Archive Films on the subject of Farming In Somerset, which were specially selected by Theatre Manager Liz Leyshon from, and with the help of, the South West Film and Television Archive in Plymouth.

This programme of short films from the 1930s to the 1970s has it all: life, country crafts and occupations, social events and some well-known local characters.

The nostalgia continues in Julie And Julia (12A), showing at Strode on Tuesday at 7.30pm and Wednesday at 5.30pm and 8pm.

Amy Adams and Meryl Streep are the two Js of the title, two women from different ages, and with different backgrounds and lives, united by French food. Their stories are based on real events, and follow post-war diplomat's wife Julia Child (Streep) as she discovers the joy of French cuisine while living in the country, writing about it and becoming the first celebrity TV chef in America, while in the present day, jaded insurance assessor Julie Powell (Adams) decides to embark on cooking her way through all of Child's recipes in a year in order to combat her early-onset midlife crisis.
