Mapua Movies
After the summer break Mapua's popular movies are coming back. On Sunday 14/3 the movie St. Vincent will be screened at the Packhouse Cinema in the Mapua Community Hall.
Chemistry can make all the difference in a film, St. Vincent wasn't a great film because the story was out of this world. In fact, it wasn't even all that original, but the fantastic chemistry between veteran Bill Murray, and newcomer Jaeden Lieberher makes all the difference.
After a bitter divorce, Maggie & Oliver have been forced to move to a new neighbourhood, where they find their new neighbour is a bitter old drunk named Vincent (Murray).
Vincent wants nothing to do with anyone, until chance throws him together with Oliver, who he reluctantly agrees to watch in exchange for money.
But what does he know about taking care of a kid? Vincent splits his time between the bars, the horse track and the strip club, running up long tabs at each of those splendid establishments.
When his harried new neighbour begs him to watch her son after school, he sees no reason why he shouldn’t drag Oliver along on his normal daily routine, serving as sort of a shit-faced Mr. Miyagi to the kid, who’s getting picked on by the little hellions at his new Catholic school.
Instead of showing Oliver “The crane,” Vincent teaches him how to break a bully’s nose, and the next day in dodgeball, the lad puts his lesson to use.
I always enjoy seeing how young actors and actresses got their start, and this film stars Bill freaking Murray, need I say more?
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.
