Feb 9/12 – MOVIE: MIDNIGHT IN PARIS - 4:15 PM and 7:15 PM |
February's movie is MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, Woody Allen’s highly praised 2011 romantic comedy. As well as offering movie-goers a charming and fanciful story, this film is a love letter to the city of lights and is well worth seeing just for the glorious vistas of Paris alone. Starring Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen, Rated: PG - 94 min February 9, 2012 – 2 shows: 4:15pm and 7:15pm at the Northern Light Pavilion Tickets are $8 at the door. Coming next… Thursday, March 8/12 - Monsieur Lazhar(Oscar Nominee)
|
JAN 12/12 – MOVIE: STARBUCK - 4:15 PM and 7:15 PM |
We selected STARBUCK as our movie for January because we wanted to start the new year on a high note. This 2011 comedy from Quebec has a highly unlikely premise but somehow manages to be laugh-out-loud funny while offering some truly poignant moments. Considering its subject matter…. 42 year old slacker and former sperm donor learns he has fathered 533 children, the comedy never digresses into juvenile bathroom humour. The film engaging cast includes Patrick Huard (Bon Cop, Bad Cop) as “Starbuck” and Julie LeBreton (The Rocket), as his long suffering girl-friend. French with English subtitles. Rated:14A - 103 min January 12, 2012 – 2 shows: 4:15pm and 7:15pm at the Northern Light Pavilion Tickets are $8 at the door.
Coming next… Thursday, February 9/12 - MIDNIGHT IN PARIS For more info click on the poster on the Movies page

Oct 13/11 – MOVIE: THE TREE OF LIFE - 4:15 PM and 7:15 PM |
It’s with much anticipation that we await the arrival of our next film, THE TREE OF LIFE, the 2011 winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Uniquely visionary and deeply philosophical, Terrence Malick’s THE TREE OF LIFE defies conventional description. It does not follow the traditional, linear approach to storytelling and its wildly ambitious theme – the examination of the meaning of existence; make it Malick’s most challenging work to date. It has been called “a masterpiece”, “abstract and surreal” and “stunning and provoking”. Although the film starts with a death, THE TREE OF LIFE is ultimately a celebration of life and a reminder of its intrinsic beauty. It is frequently compared to the Kubrick classic, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, in its scope and in the way it has polarized audiences. This film must be seen on the big screen. Come with an open mind. Love it or hate it, there will be plenty to discuss. Rated PG – 138 minutes Tickets are $8 at the door. Coming next… Thursday, November 10/11 – BILLY BISHOP GOES TO WAR (Sorry, another programming change! We saw this film at Cinefest Sudbury and simply loved it. We knew that we had to bring it to Haliburton ASAP. For those who would still like to see WIN WIN, the DVD is available at our Haliburton County Library (We will be screening MIDNIGHT IN PARIS on Feb 9/12). For more info, click on the MOVIES page.

An ordinary woman fights for equal pay and achieves something extraordinary.” A dramatization of the 1968 strike at the Ford Dagenham car plant, where female workers walked out in protest against sexual discrimination, MADE IN DAGENHAM is an inspiring film starring an extraordinary cast, including Sally Hawkins (AN EDUCATION, HAPPY-GO-LUCKY), Miranda Richardson (WAH, WAH, YOUNG VICTORIA), Geraldine James (CALENDAR GIRLS) and Bob Hoskins (MRS.

April 28, 2011 – MOVIE: A SMALL ACT - One Show Only 7:15 PM |
A young Kenyan's life changes drastically when his education is sponsored by a Swedish stranger. Years later, he founds his own scholarship program to replicate the kindness he once received. Director Jennifer Arnold’s documentary film about the plight of kids struggling to get an education in Kenya, debuted at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival where it made a tremendous impression with audiences. After the second screening, a woman stood up in the audience and offered a $5,000 donation to help the kids. She challenged the audience to give, too, and her $5,000 was quickly matched by another cheque for $5,000. Midway through the festival, the amount raised and pledged had grown to $80,000. According to the documentary, it can cost less than $10 a week to send a student to secondary school in Kenya. The film, and the reaction it has caused, demonstrates how even “a small act” can play a big difference in the lives of others. Admission by donation This screening is a fundraiser for….

Apr 7, 2011 – MOVIE: TAMARA DREWE (PG13) 4:15 PM and 7:15 PM |
The English pastoral life gets an exquisite send-up in TAMARA DREWE, veteran director Stephen Frears‘s (THE QUEEN, MRS HENDERSON PRESENTS), pleasing adaptation of a slightly darker graphic novel by Posy Simmonds—itself a modern riff on Thomas Hardy’s Far From the Madding Crowd. With all these literary layers to peel, one might expect a bookish bent, but that’s only true in the sense that a group of writers are at the root of most of the film’s fun. A hilarious dark romantic comedy that is wildly wicked and sarcastic, but also has moments of real poignancy. Rated: PG13 (111 mins.) Tickets are available at the door for both screenings- $8 Northern Lights Pavilion in Haliburton Village |
Mar 10, 2011 – MOVIE: SCORE: A HOCKEY MUSCIAL 4:15 PM and 7:15 PM |
SCORE: A HOCKEY MUSICAL, by Canadian film maker Michael McGowan (ONE WEEK, SAINT RALPH), is a completely ridiculous, tongue-in-cheek musical that both celebrates and skewers the good old hockey game. This light-hearted musical comedy, starring Olivia Newton-John, Marc Jordon, Stephen McHattie, Nelly Furtado, Walter Gretsky and Haliburton native CHRIS RATZ, is the polar opposite and the perfect antidote to INCENDIES, last month’s brilliant, but devastatingly dark film. Your T.O.M. movie committee is under no illusions - we know that this film has been panned by the critics and won’t be winning many awards - but we also heard many say that they really enjoyed it BECAUSE it is so amusingly absurd. CHRIS RATZ WILL BE OUR SPECIAL GUEST at both screenings, to drop the puck… so to speak. Come dressed in a hockey jersey and enjoy the silliness. Rated: PG (92 min.) Tickets are available at the door for both screenings - $8

Feb 10, 2011 – MOVIE: INCENDIES (14A) 4:15 PM and 7:15 PM (Subtitles) |

Adapted from Wajdi Mouawad’s award-winning play of the same name, INCENDIES (Scorched) tells the powerful and moving story of two young adults’ journey to the core of deep-rooted hatred, never-ending wars and enduring love. INCENDIES has been nominated for Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. The winner will be selected during Academy Awards Ceremony on February 27/11. 14A – Please note that this film contains a few violent and disturbing scenes which are integral to the story. (130 minutes) Tickets are available at the door for both screenings- $8

Nov 11, 2010 – MOVIE: THE LAST STATION (14A) 4:15 PM AND 7:15 PM |
Northern Lights Pavilion in Haliburton Tickets $8 at the door for both screening An stunning historical film based on the relationship between Leo Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer) and his wife, Sofya (Helen Mirren), during Tolstoy's final years. The film also explores Tolstoy's relationship with his Assistant, Valentin (James McAvoy) and his cabal of acolytes, lead by Vladimir Chertkov (Paul Giamatti). The main tension comes between Vladimir, who wants Tolstoy to bequeath his copyrights to "The Russian People" and Sofya, who naturally would like the copyrights reserved for herself and family.
Mirren earned an Oscar nomination for Lead Actress and Plummer received one for Supporting Actor. The time period is 1910, pre-Communist Russia, and the cinematography beautifully captures the era. Don't leave before the closing credits, you will want to see some facinating actual film of Tolstoy and his wife. |

Northern Lights Pavilion in Haliburton Tickets are available at the door for all screenings for $8 Seasons passes ($60 for 10 films) are also available
This month’s movie THE DAMN UNITED is about controversial coach Brian Clough (Michael Sheen FROST/NIXON, BLOOD DIAMOND) and his tumultuous 44-day reign as the coach of Leeds United in the 70s. Taking over England's top football club Leeds United, previously successful manager Brian Clough's abrasive approach and his clear dislike of the players' dirty style of play make it certain there is going to be friction. Glimpses of his earlier career help explain both his hostility to previous manager Don Revie (Colm Meaney) and how much he is missing right-hand man Peter Taylor (Timothy Spall) who has loyally stayed with Brighton & Hove Albion.
PLEASE NOTE: November’s movie has been changed. We are no longer showing the documentary film BABIES. In its place we will be screening the film THE LAST STATION starring Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer - Click on the MOVIES page for movie information

Foreign produce is picked unripe and ends up as a tasteless, nutrition-depleted shell on grocery store shelves. Across Canada, communities and their farmers are joining together in a grassroots effort to remedy this broken system. Featuring Waverley Brook Farm in Haliburton, Ontario, Homegrown explores a win-win solution to an issue that affects every single one of us: where does your food come from? Tickets are $8 (for both films)and are available at the door before the 4:15 & the 7:15 screenings. For more information visit the MOVIES page After the 7:15 show, movie goers are invited to McKeck’s for our post-movie get-together.

We plan to continue in spite of this very unfortunate turn of events and hope that two free bonus movies at Northern Lights Pavilion for all pass holders will compensate.

MARCH 11, 2010 – MOVIE: EVERY LITTLE STEP – 4:15 PM AND 7:15 PM |
At the Northern Lights Pavilion in Haliburton only. Minden Pass holders are welcome! There will be no movie shown at the Beaver this month. Although we had hoped to be back for March, due to extensive damage, further work is required to make it safe for the public. We will keep you up to date with any new developments. March’s film, EVERY LITTLE STEP, is a roller coaster ride of laughter, tears, music and dance. This 2009 documentary film follows the trials and tribulations of real-life dancers as they struggle through auditions for the 2006 Broadway revival of "A Chorus Line". The film also investigates the history of the show and the creative minds behind the original and current incarnations. Tickets are available at the door for all screenings for $8.

At the Northern Lights Pavilion in Haliburton only. Minden Pass holders are welcome!

Delayed, her husband asks his friend, a handsome Egyptian named Tareq, to watch over Juliette. Juliette finds herself falling in love not only with the city but with Tareq.
