Dear Friends
The new films this week are - POWER RANGERS, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST 2D and 3D and the new sci-fi film LIFE. Plus EXHIBITION ON SCREEN “THE ARTISTS GARDEN” and a special screening of John Pilger’s film THE COMING WAR ON CHINA.
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST - Belle (Emma Watson) is a bright, beautiful young woman taken prisoner by a hideous beast (Dan Stevens) in his castle. Belle befriends the castle's enchanted staff: a china teapot (voice of Emma Thompson), a candelabra (voice of Ewan McGregor) and a mantel clock (Ian McKellen) and eventually learns to see beneath the Beast's exterior to discover the heart and soul of a prince.
POWER RANGERS - Five teens are inexplicably brought together by coincidence or destined to become the newest generation in a line of warriors known as the Power Rangers. The world rests in their hands as Rita Repulsion (Elizabeth Banks) a powerful witch and former Green Power Ranger launches an assault.
LIFE - Astronauts (Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds) aboard the International Space Station crew on the cutting edge of one of the most important discoveries in human history: the first evidence of extra-terrestrial life on Mars. As members of the crew conduct their research, the rapidly evolving life-form proves far more intelligent and terrifying than anyone could have imagined.
EXHIBITION ON SCREEN: THE ARTISTS GARDEN - Following the smash hit Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse from Season 3 of EXHIBITION ON SCREEN comes a new film based on the hugely popular exhibition ‘The Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism and the Garden Movement’ from the Florence Griswold Museum in Connecticut, widely considered a home of American impressionism.
American impressionism took its lead from French artists like Renoir and Monet but followed its own path that over a thirty-year period reveals as much about America as a nation as it does about a much-loved artistic movement.
The story of American impressionism is closely tied to a love of gardens and a desire to preserve nature in a rapidly urbanizing nation. Travelling to studios, gardens and famous locations throughout the Eastern United States, UK and France, this mesmerising film is a feast for the eyes.
SCREENING SATURDAY 25 & SUNDAY 26 MARCH AT 2.00PM. Adults: $20.00, Concessions: $18.00
On Thursday 23 March, 6pm for 6.30pm, there will be a special screening of John Pilger’s THE COMING WAR ON CHINA. He reveals in the film that the United States and China , both nuclear-armed, are on the road to war. Tickets: Adults $20, Concessions $18.
See you at the movies
