Movies in Mapua

Reinhard from Mapua

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

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

Because of Covid, we decided not to show our planned movie THE COURIER for the last two months, but now we, the “Movie Moguls”, have decided we’re in dire need of some good ol’ Mapua community friendship and normality

So, If the Covid levels stay as they are, we plan to show the movie The Courier (which by the way is a REALLY a cracker ) on Sunday 21st Nov , same time 6.30 pm start 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 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 next year, but this will be the last one for this year. So, we look forward to seeing you there. We have all missed the monthly occasion and all of you.

There may even be ice creams— watch this space!!

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

Cheers,

Di& Peter, Reinhard & Angelika

Here is the movie mogul's review:

We really need more movies like this. If you enjoy movies that teach history with good acting and without the typical Hollywood garbage, then this movie is for you. A terrific movie!

Even if you know the history only superficially, you certainly couldn't help but hear about the "Cuban Missile Crisis" that took place in the early 1960s. When the USSR and the USA almost started a third world war, however everything worked out OK in the end. Now we find out who we have to thank for resolving the conflict and making the sky above our heads calm again.

The star of the film is a British businessman: Greville Wynne (Benedict Cumberpatch) who is involved in financial affairs around the world. Thanks to his charisma and his silver tongue Wynn finds friends everywhere and he gets recruited by the British special services. So that upon arrival in Moscow on business he is to get in touch with a local defector and transmit important information back to London.

I've watched lots of spy films, but this one's gone deep into my soul. To start with, I really appreciated the stylization which looks as if the film was actually filmed in the 1960s. Besides I can't fail to mention the actors, Benedict Cumberbatch is beyond comparison, he actually doesn't know how to act badly. I also loved Merab Ninidze as the Russian agent who decided to help England and the United States in their battle against the USSR.

So the film is really remarkable, it is a great pleasure to watch it. The tension won't let you go until the very end and so I highly recommend it.

It wasn't a rescue helicopter and I was puzzled why someone would land in among houses that are spaced quite closely. I learned that the said helicopter had it's own heli-pad there, because the owner lives in that area!??? Really? How can one get a heli-pad placed so close to other houses, let alone a old folks home? Or schools, for that matter? TDC certainly has funny rules...
