Movies in Mapua
This coming Sunday, June 20th at the Mapua Community Hall the Packhouse Cinema will show another interesting movie. Please be aware that the movies have now been moved to every third Sunday of the month.
The Mapua Movie mogul says about "Rams":
I haven’t seen either version but I am told this Australian remake of the Icelandic original is superior. “Though 20 minutes longer, it wall - papers over the main complaints with the original version. There's more humour, an explanation is offered for the brothers' hostility towards each other (a fair criticism of the original) and has a far more satisfactory ending with much less ambiguity.”
What's Sam Neill worth as a star in a film these days? Well pretty much everything, it's clear from this and other films he has been in, in recent years. Despite his ageing features and gently sagging paunch, his sardonic presence is compellingly attractive. He's just relentlessly bankable, like the late great Sean Connery. This antipodean sheep drama is a good fit for his real life persona as he has been accepted as an honorary/adopted Australian? The Great Southern Region of Western Australia proves to be an excellent substitute for the admittedly stunning original Icelandic rural locations and Sam Neill contributes a superlative, warmly amusing turn, as the pastoralist brother who just can't quite let go.
As I grew up in a sheep farming area I look forward to seeing this movie!
It’s highly recommended and I have been told “Ewe shouldn't miss it!”
It is only 12 dollars a person to see this movie and the net income goes towards the Mapua Hall.
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.

I twinkle and glow, guiding paths in the snow.
I’m not the sun, moon, or star in the sky,
yet on rooftops and trees, you’ll see me up high.
What am I?
