Movies in Mapua

Reinhard from Mapua

Hi, all regular Cinema goers, and to any new people who think they might like to go to the movies which we’ve been showing for the last 6+ years

This time, we plan to show the movie "Secondhand Lions" on Sunday, 18th September at 6.30 pm in the Mapua Community Hall. Bring your own chair and drinks etc if you wish.

Some of us go to the Sprig & Fern for a meal at around 5pm, and there will be a table reserved for any who would like to join us.

We have some excellent movies planned for the rest of the cold season, So, we look forward to seeing you there.

All income from this event will go towards the Mapua Community Hall!

Cheers,

Reinhard & Angelika

The movie mogul says:

"Secondhand Lions " is one of those sleeper movies you sometimes hear about. Due to the wonderful script, direction and acting by all the principals, this one unfolds like a rose in bloom.Before you know it, the movie has you totally in its grasp and the characters become three dimensional as their battles battles become yours as well.The plot is simple: A teenage boy is dumped on his crusty great-uncles by his scheming mother who wants the kid to find where the uncles may have hidden their reputably stolen fortune. The uncles, played by Michael Caine and Robert Duvall, work well together as brothers who are slow to warm up to their rather precious nephew. Eventually the layers begin to peel away as the boy learns about the earlier thrilling adventures of the uncles and begins to see them as potential role models.
But then, are their stories true? Should the boy return to his mother? Should the uncles fight to keep him around? This movie made us lough and cry. It touches on every aspect of growing old. It addresses the right way to live and the wrong way. A perfect movie for MAPUANS.
