Hi, all you Packhouse 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
So, If the Covid levels stay as they are, we plan to show the movie "Submarine" on Sunday, 17th July at 6.30 pm in the Mapua Community Hall. Bring your own chair and drinks etc if you wish, but please be prepared to stay in your own bubble, with a wee space between you and the next bubble
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 look forward to seeing you there.
All income from this event will go towards the Mapua Community Hall!
Movie starts at 6:30, doors open at 6:15pm
Cheers,
Di & Peter, Reinhard & Angelika
“Submarine”
Showing at Mapua’s “Packhouse Cinema’ @ 6:30pm Sunday 17th July
15 year old Oliver has two objectives: To lose his virginity before his next birthday and to extinguish the flame between his mother and her ex-boyfriend.
Precocious Oliver struggles with being popular in school but when Jordana a dark-haired beauty takes an interest in him, he's determined to become the best boyfriend in the world. Meanwhile, his parents' already rocky relationship is threatened when his mother's ex-boyfriend moves in next door.
Dead pan humour is the order of the day with Submarine. Understated lines such as "my mum gave a hand job to a mystic" could go unnoticed by an inattentive audience.
Casting Craig Roberts as Oliver Tate was a masterstroke and much of the film's success is based on his performance. The imaginative and peculiar schoolboy analyses everything, often conjuring up fictional events which parody mainstream movies.
Submarine is a simple coming of age story, without the solid plot of the British film veterans. In essence the narrative follows two strands, the relationship between Oliver and Jordana and between Oliver and his family. Trying to date Jordana and reignite the spark between his parents isn't a small task, not that that fazes Oliver.
Submarine is devilishly funny and a true gem which could become a DVD cult movie.
At last months movie showing we had an audience of only 10 paying customers, which is not nearly enough money to cover the cost of the licence fee for a movie. If we do not attract sufficient audience numbers this month, we may not be able to carry on showing movies at the Mapua Hall.
