Larry Crowne
Until he was
downsized, affable,
amiable Larry Crowne
(Tom Hanks) was a
superstar team leader
at the big-box company
where he’s worked
since his time in the
Navy.
Underwater on his
mortgage and unclear
on what to do with his
suddenly-free days,
Larry heads to his local
college to start over.
There he becomes
part of a colourful community
of outcasts,
also-rans and the
overlooked all trying to
find a better future for
themselves.
In his public-
playing Kiwi Cream
Shihad are performing at
Kiwi Cream, Claudelands Arena
Hamilton, on Saturday, September
17 with Supergroove,
Opshop and Kids Of 88 and to
celebrate we have their new
album Ignite to give away.
Steadfast Kiwi rockers
Shihad have always been at the
forefront of everything that is
good about New Zealand Music.
They have never lost that big,
ballsy, distinctive Shihad sound
The good news is they are
coming to Hamilton and they
have a new album to boot!
Even better news is we have
a copy for you to win. It’s the ideal
precursor to what promises to be
one of the most amping rock
shows in Hamilton’s history!
Ignite has already dished up
four great singles in Sleepeater,
Lead Or Follow, Ignite and
Country Music this Sunday
Those who enjoy country music are invited to put
on their stetson and country and western gear and

CINEMA SCENE
speaking class, Larry
develops an unexpected
crush on his teacher
Mercedes Tainot (Julia
Roberts), who has lost
as much passion for
teaching as she has for
her husband.
The simple guy who
has every reason to
think his life has stalled
will come to learn an
Engage. It sits well with other
great Shihad hits including One
Will Hear The Other, Vampires,
Beautiful Machine, Rule The
World, All The Young Fascists,
Shot In The Head, Dark Times,
None Of The Above, My Minds
the Country Music Club welcomes Kevin McLuskie
as their special guest.
McLuskie is a familiar face in the country music
scene having performed in clubs all over the North
Island.
While he has a broad repertoire of songs he
particularly enjoys covering Elvis Presley.
Club members and friends will join in with the
country rock theme in what promises to be a great
afternoon of country music.
President, Celia Baker remembers when she first
met Kevin about 15 years ago.
‘‘He couldn’t sing a note back then. He has
improved out of sight and now puts back a lot into
country music helping out with workshops,’’ she
says.
Te Awamutu Country Music Club, this Sunday,
1pm — 4.30 pm at the RSA Club.
Everyone is welcome.

to leave out.
The lads are proving time

their game. Shihad is Home

A MODERN TAKE OF THE BEST OF
THE ‘SPAGHETTI’ WESTERNS.
A big, very entertaining
adventure like ‘3:10 to Yuma’, but
with aliens as baddies. Having
producers like Steven Spielberg
and Ron Howard, actors like
Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford,
it must be good and it is. Have a
fun time out watching cowboys
Vs. aliens on the big screen.

“An excellent movie. I have never
come across a bad Canadian
film yet. This was an amazingly
well constructed story and very
well executed. It requires a lot
of concentration but you will
be rewarded by viewing and
thinking about the ‘whole’ of
this remarkable film. You will be
absorbed in it and trying to work
out what is happening and want
to investigate and talk further
about it afterwards. One of the
best films of modern times for a
mature appreciative audience
and one worth taking the rough
journey. In fact, in my opinion,
it’s one of the best films of its
genre ever made. Not everyone
will appreciate its complexities,
however you will be rewarded by
the end.” Allan.
Incendies means ‘fire’.
