April 10, 2008 – MOVIE: THE KITE RUNNER – 7PM

Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini touched millions of readers around the world with his best-selling first novel, THE KITE RUNNER. A moving tale of childhood friends growing up in war-torn Afghanistan, respected director Marc Forster (MONSTER’S BALL, FINDING NEVERLAND, STRANGER THAN FICTION) brings this powerful story to the screen. The KITE RUNNER provides us with an insightful look into the history, culture, as well as the deep-rooted problems that plague Afghanistan. Although there are many light-hearted moments in the film, those familiar with the novel will know that there are some scenes of violence that are fundamental to the story. In spite of this, we feel that the insights gained by watching this film make it well worth watching. Our Get–together after the film will be at McKeck’s Place. Thank you to Walt and the gang for always providing us with great service and with complimentary cheese and crackers !!

"AWAY FROM HER" EVENING A GREAT SUCCESS

Despite the disappointing last minute cancellation of our greatly anticipated special guest, Sarah Polley, AWAY FROM HER’s director, the evening of April 12th was a very successful night for THOSE OTHER MOVIES and for the county of Haliburton.

This month's THOSE OTHER MOVIES movie is the Canadian film "THE ROCKET" starring Roy Dupuis, Patrick Robitaille, Remy Girard and Julie Le Breton.

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!
