Movies in Mapua
This coming Sunday, August 15th at the Mapua Community Hall the Packhouse Cinema will show another interesting movie.
The Mapua Movie mogul says about this mystery movie:
Military Wives follows a group of women who're left behind on the home front in England while their partners are serving in Afghanistan. Using the joy of music to help them cope with the absence of their partners, Gareth Malone a World famous Choir master assists the women to organise the very first choir.
Managed by Kate (Thomas) and Lisa (Horgan), who possess extremely conflicting personalities and objectives, the choir steadily acquires widespread media attention that results in the formation of an influential global choir movement.
Cattaneo's film focuses on the relationship shared between these women, each of whom have their own burdens to bear in the face of such uncertain adversity. Much of the films strength comes from the sincerity of the performances, particularly leads Kristin Scott Thomas and Sharon Horgan, who clash repeatedly throughout the film.
Tunnard and Flynn's screenplay accomplishes a combination of both humour and tragedy in a way that never feels superficial, and although it is clear to see where it is all going to go, it's difficult not to become invested in the journey. This is a heartfelt film that is both uplifting and emotional, with standout performances and a truly brilliant final song. I think you are really going to enjoy your Mystery movie night .
It is only 12 dollars a person to see this movie and the net income goes towards the Mapua Hall.
The movie starts at 6:30pm, doors open at 6:15. Bring your own chair, nibbles and drinks and enjoy a drink or a snack at the Sprig and Fern opposite the hall.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated
