JUNE 4/09 - SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE 4:15 & 7:15 |
To end a very sucessful Season 3, Those Other Movies will be presenting SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, the much talked about award-winning film by Danny Boyle. Set in the slums of Bombay/Mumbai, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is the story of three street children told in a most unusual way. While a love story maybe at the heart of this film, be prepared for a few disturbing scenes, mixed in with some very funny moments as well. The child actors are simply charming.
Individual Tickets are available at the door.
REMEMBER: If you haven't purchased your passes for Season 4, you may do so at tonight's screening. |
MAY 14, 2009 – MOVIE: UP THE YANGTZE – 4:15 PM AND 7:15 PM |
The bad news is that we couldn’t get the film ONE WEEK for May. The good news is that we will be presenting the acclaimed Canadian documentary film UP THE YANGTZE.
Winner of this year’s Genie award for Best Documentary, UP THE YANGTZE marks Canadian filmmaker Yung Chang’s bitter sweet home-coming to the land of his ancestors. Gorgeous images of the Yangtze River and its surrounding country-side are interspersed with candid glimpses into the lives of people living on its banks. UP THE YANGTZE is both astonishing and insightful.
Tickets are available at the door for both screenings.
Matinee tickets will be available from 3:45 until 4:15 for $6 (students $5)
Evening tickets will be available from 6:45 until 7:15 for $7
Please join us at McKeck’s Place after the Evening show to discuss the film
PASSES FOR SEASON 4 will be sold at the Northern Lights Pavilion on movie night.
You may purchase your passes on May 14 and again on June 4 – (June’s movie night) between 3:30pm and 9pm by the theatre door and later at McKeck’s Place.
Select from 4 different screenings available:
Haliburton Matinee Seasons Pass for the 4:15 show at the Northern Lights Pavilion
Haliburton Evening Seasons Pass for the 7:15 show at the Northern Lights Pavilion
Minden Matinee Seasons Pass for the 4:15 show at the Beaver Theatre in Minden
Minden Evening Seasons Pass for the 7:15 show at the Beaver Theatre in Minden
Please purchase a pass for the time and location that you will normally be attending.
All Season passes are $60 for 10 movies screened from September 2009 thru June 2010. (Individual tickets will be sold at the door for $8.00)
Most of the screenings will be held on the 2nd Thursday of the month, but due to scheduling conflicts some months we will be screening on an alternate Thursday.
As in past seasons, movie passes are transferable, so if you cannot make a show you may share with a friend. As well, you may on occasion, use your Minden Pass in Haliburton and your Haliburton Pass in Minden. This is entirely dependent on the availability of seats, bearing in mind that home theatre patrons will always be seated first.

APRIL 9, 2009 – MOVIE: NO HIT NO RUN SUMMER – 4:15 & 7:15 PM |
NO HIT NO RUN SUMMER (Un été sans point ni coup sûr) invites you back in time to the summer of 1969, when Gilligan ruled the small screen and the Montreal Expos threw out their first pitch. This 2008 Quebec coming of age film with English subtitles, stars Patrice Robitaille, (Cheech, The Rocket) and Roy Dupuis (The Rocket, Shake Hands with the Devil). The Story revolves around a group of kids who want to play baseball, but can’t make the team. Please don’t assume that this film is just another Bad News Bears movie. It’s not. The Quebec film industry produces some of the most intelligent and thought-provoking films made today. At the heart of this totally charming film is the evolving relationship between a father and son and the love they have for each other. You’ll find yourself cheering out loud!
Tonight, before both screenings, we will be announcing our plans for next season.
After the 7:15 screening, please join us at McKeck’s Place for discussion.
|
MARCH 12, 2009 – MOVIE: THE STATION AGENT – 4:15 & 7:15 PM |
Tonight’s quirky little film is both humorous and sad. It is the kind of thought-provoking story that lovers of good film relish. This 2003 film was the first for the writer/director Thomas McCarthy (THE VISITOR) and stars Peter Dinklage (DEATH AT A FUNERAL) and Patricia Clarkson (MARRIED LIFE)
After the 7:15 screening, please join us at McKeck’s Place for discussion.

Next Thursday, May 10 we will be screening a variety of short films, including - RYAN, COLOURBARS, MCLAREN'S NEGATIVES, THE CAMERA, THE MAN WHO WAITED, A FLOWER IN MY PEDDLE and THE DANISH POET. Each one of these films is very unique and has received much acclaim. Our feature film is RYAN. It is about influential Canadian animator Ryan Larkin and his troubled life.

JANUARY 11, 2007 MOVIE - "THE ROCKET " - 7pm |
This month's THOSE OTHER MOVIES movie is the Canadian film "THE ROCKET" starring Roy Dupuis, Patrick Robitaille, Remy Girard and Julie Le Breton. The Rocket is, of course, none other than hockey legend Maurice "the Rocket" Richard. The film captures the culture of hockey in its early days, and more importantly, conveys what Richard meant and still means to the Quebecois and to hockey fans everywhere.
With Canada's junior hockey team's third world championship victory this week, what a great time to screen this uniquely Canadian film and celebrate our national game.
After the movie, please join us across the road at McKeck's (where else?)and wear your hockey jersey. We will be asking people to tell their favourite hockey stories - whether as a player, a spectator or just a fan. Should be alot of fun!
