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 "The disappearance of Alice Creed" on Sunday, 16th October 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!

"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.
