The Princess And The Frog (U) opens at Wells Film Centre this week and is a modern day retelling of the classic story The Frog Prince. The film finds the lives of arrogant, carefree Prince Naveen and hardworking waitress Tiana crossing paths.

Prince Naveen is transformed into a frog by a conniving voodoo magician and Tiana, following suit, upon kissing the amphibian royalty.

With the help of a trumpet-playing alligator, a Cajun firefly, and an old blind lady who lives in a boat in a tree, Naveen and Tiana must race to break the spell and fulfil their dreams.

George Clooney stars in Up In The Air (15), also showing at Wells this week, as Ryan Bingham, whose job it is to fire people from theirs.

The anguish, hostility, and despair of his "clients" has left him falsely compassionate, living out of a suitcase, and loving every second of it.

When his boss hires arrogant young Natalie (Anna Kendrick) she develops a method of video conferencing that will allow termination without ever leaving the office – essentially threatening the existence Ryan so cherishes.

Wells Film Society are screening Sunset Boulevard (PG) on Monday.

The story, set in 1950s Hollywood, focuses on Norma Desmond, a silent-screen goddess whose pathetic belief in her own indestructibility has turned her into a demented recluse.

The crumbling Sunset Boulevard mansion where she lives with only her butler, Max, who was once her director and husband, has become her self-contained world.

Norma dreams of a comeback to pictures and she begins a relationship with Joe Gillis, a small-time writer who becomes her lover, that will soon end with murder and total madness.

Tonight, at 7.30pm people can still catch pre-war conspiracy thriller Glorious 39 (12A) at Strode Theatre in Street.

Anne (Romola Garai) is a young actress and the adopted daughter of a wealthy Tory MP (Bill Nighy).

Her life seems privileged and well-ordered, until she discovers, at her father's home, a number of tapes containing recordings of meetings with explosive content.

Still in the pre-war era, Strode is going across the Atlantic for Me And Orson Welles (12A) today and tomorrow at 7.30pm.

This comedy, set in 1937 and directed by Richard Linklater, stars Zac Efron as stage-struck New York schoolboy Richard, who gets chatting to a company of actors outside a Broadway Theatre and can't believe his luck when the eccentric young director, a certain Orson Welles, actually gives him a part in his production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

Not blessed with an excess of talent, the youngster is paired with the pretty and ambitious Sonia for extra rehearsals, and soon falls in love with her.

Another young man learns about the vagaries of love in Tulpan (12A), at Strode on Tuesday at 7.30pm, showing in Kazakh and Russian with subtitles.

Asa has just come back home to the Kazakh steppe after serving in the Russian navy and now lives with his brother's family in their small yurt, helping with the sheep herding.

He is desperate to get his own flock and yurt, but the local elders won't hear of it until he is married.

There being only one eligible girl in the whole district, the titular Tulpan, Asa decides that he is madly in love with her, despite the fact that he has yet to set eyes on the elusive young lady.
