Movies in Mapua
This coming Sunday, June 20th at the Mapua Community Hall the Packhouse Cinema will show another interesting movie. Please be aware that the movies have now been moved to every third Sunday of the month.
The Mapua Movie mogul says about "Rams":
I haven’t seen either version but I am told this Australian remake of the Icelandic original is superior. “Though 20 minutes longer, it wall - papers over the main complaints with the original version. There's more humour, an explanation is offered for the brothers' hostility towards each other (a fair criticism of the original) and has a far more satisfactory ending with much less ambiguity.”
What's Sam Neill worth as a star in a film these days? Well pretty much everything, it's clear from this and other films he has been in, in recent years. Despite his ageing features and gently sagging paunch, his sardonic presence is compellingly attractive. He's just relentlessly bankable, like the late great Sean Connery. This antipodean sheep drama is a good fit for his real life persona as he has been accepted as an honorary/adopted Australian? The Great Southern Region of Western Australia proves to be an excellent substitute for the admittedly stunning original Icelandic rural locations and Sam Neill contributes a superlative, warmly amusing turn, as the pastoralist brother who just can't quite let go.
As I grew up in a sheep farming area I look forward to seeing this movie!
It’s highly recommended and I have been told “Ewe shouldn't miss it!”
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.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
