[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Ready for a movie?? It may be all we have to do on these rainy days!!
For those of you new to the group, Jill and I select the morning movies that are available for the 4th Tuesday of each month. The cinema advertises them about a week beforehand, so expect an email from us at that time. We meet prior to the movie times in the courtyard or the lobby of the Dendy Theatre, Opera Quay. You select the movie you are interested in and buy your ticket – usually there is more than one person interested in each movie. After the movie we walk to the Hacienda Bar in the Pullman Quay Grand for lunch or a coffee. The movies vary in start and end times so we don’t all wait for each other at the theatre. When your movie ends, just head over to the Hacienda and we’ll see you there. Hopefully you won’t be alone in your choice of movie! No need to RSVP – just join us. Jill and I will try to remember our name tags – look up our beautiful pictures on the SWIC website!
Location:
Dendy Opera Quay Theatre is amongst the shops on the walk to the Opera House at Circular Quay.
Hacienda Bar in the Pullman Quay Grand is on the same side of Circular Quay close to the turn after you pass Wharf 1. Enter the hotel and go to the second floor, elevator or stairs. The bar is usually empty at noon on a Tuesday. I will try to book the area to the far left after entering. It’s the largest area to sit together. If not, just select a spot anywhere. It’s a beautiful view overlooking the harbour.
MARCH 28 MOVIES
Alone in Berlin
10:00am
Berlin, 1940. Working class couple Otto and Anna Quangel receive the news that their only son has been killed on the battlefield. They decide to resist the Nazi regime in their very own way, risking everything to try and turn the tide on German support for the cause. Based on the international best-seller by Hans Fallada.
Loving
10:15am
Set in 1958 Virginia, Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga give understated yet powerful performances as a couple who simply want to live peacefully together, yet sadly have to go all the way to the Supreme Court just to do so.
Beauty and the Beast
10:20am
I think this might be my pick! Fond memories of watching the Disney movie with my daughters and the movie appears to live up to the hype.
See you at the movies!
