24.01.2022 Unfortunately our screen wears pink everyday! Parts being sent to Perth. Most likely no movies for the next 2 weeks. Should there be a change, I'll update you with some more annoying posts.

24.01.2022 3 cheers for the shire for fixing the broken chairs and pressure washing the concrete at the cinema. By the time we re-open, it'll be looking pretty!

23.01.2022 Our movie projector is about as cool as the pink ladies in Grease 2..... In good news: the projector parts made it to Perth for further analysis In bad news: the tech guy is not in Perth until Monday. So until we know what's wrong, we still don't have a date when we can reopen.... I might run out of "pink" themed updates. If you know a movie with a lot of pink, let me know

23.01.2022 Click your ruby(pink) slippers together and say three times: Please fix the projector, please fix the projector, please fix the projector

And if you don't want to watch Harry potter vote for something else:... https://poll.app.do/classic-movies See more

20.01.2022 This week at the movies: the personal history of David Copperfield. From birth to infancy, from adolescence to adulthood, the good-hearted David Copperfield is surrounded by kindness, wickedness, poverty and wealth, as he meets an array of remarkable characters in Victorian England. As David sets out to be a writer, in his quest for family, friendship, romance and status, the story of his life is the most seductive tale of all. It's the final one of the "latest release movies", before more classics will be playing. Get your fix of movie, popcorn and choc top.
