Her | Various Cinemas
Welcome to LA in the not so distant future, where Theodore Twombly falls in love with advanced operating system Samantha. This love story, which discovers what intimacy means in the modern world, is the inventive work of Spike Jonze. As if that wasn’t enough, the music by Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O makes this offbeat treat extra special.

Baby Lame’s Valentine’s Party! A NIGHT FOR THE UNLOVED | Resistance Gallery | 9pm-2am | £4/3

There’ll be party games, cabaret, cheap drinks to get you loose and limber, DJ’s… And not a romantic meal for two in sight!
They Say: Does Valentines day make you want to kill yourself? Feel Unloved? Suicidal? Lonely? Horny? GOOD!
