The Hippodrome is 100 years old in 2012 and The Movie Cafe hears all about the Festival of Silent Cinema.
'We Bought a Zoo' Acclaimed filmmaker Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous) directs this true story about a single dad who decides his family needs a fresh start, so he and his two children move to the most unlikely of places: a zoo. With the help of an eclectic staff, and with many misadventures along the way, the family works to return the dilapidated zoo to its former wonder and glory. We review the film with critics, Ian Hoey and Nigel Floyd.
