"The disappearance of Alice Creed" is possibly the best British thriller film of 2009.It has a cast of only three people, so the film could have gone one way or the other, the right or the wrong way. Thankfully it goes the right way. The script and direction is tight and the film's turns and twists are very surprising. The audience in the cinema gasped at one scene in particular which you won's see coming at all. I certainly didn't. The film is helped of course by stunning performances from all three actors. Martin Compston (Steve Arnott in the BBC drama "line of duty") plays Danny, the younger, twitchier of the two kidnappers who isn't actually as sweet as he seems. Eddie Marsan as Vic, the older, vicious and intelligent kidnapper and Gemma Arterton who plays Alice, the spoilt, rich little girl in the centre of all commotion. Those who didn't manage to get to see "Alice Creed" at cinemas have missed out obn an excellent film. I recommend it to anyone in search of a lean, tight thriller with excellent performances. Again, perfect for our mature Mapua audience.
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
New Year, Same Brain Teasers!
A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.
When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.
Yet, the police knew it was a murder.
How?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
