The Hitman's Bodyguard is a <strong>2017</strong> American action<br />
comedy film directed by Patrick Hughes and<br />
written by Tom O'Connor, whose script was on the<br />
2011 Black List.<br />
The film tells about an old killer and his young bodyguard,<br />
whom he hires to testify against his employers.<br />
The film stars Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson,<br />
Gary Oldman and Salma Hayek, and follows a<br />
bodyguard who is hired to protect a hitman who<br />
has to testify at the International Criminal Court.<br />
WARNING: There is some very strong language<br />
Here is a comment taken from many who enjoyed<br />
the movie:<br />
Great Action & Greater Laughs!!<br />
I just saw a preview of "Hitman's Bodyguard" last night with<br />
my wife. We are both fan's of action and comedy and went<br />
into this hoping it would be as good as we hoped from the<br />
actor's involved. I am a HUGE Sam Jackson fan and an<br />
equally big Ryan Reynolds fan. I'm glad to say that this movie<br />
did not disappoint!<br />
I would've given this movie a 10 if only voting on the action<br />
and comedy but there were a couple of plot points that were slightly predictable. I don't feel these couple<br />
of things hurt the movie much due to what the movie is being advertised as, which is an action comedy<br />
and this is by far where it shines. I laughed harder during some scenes of this movie than I've laughed in a<br />
long time during a movie. The last I remember laughing harder is last year during "Deadpool".<br />
If you like lots of action and great comedy with actors with plenty of chemistry and don't mind a significant<br />
amount of f-bombs, which if you're a Sam Jackson fan I'm guessing you don't, then drop some cash for a<br />
ticket. You won't be disappointed!!<br />

Vale—Joan Stalker-Brown<br />
It is with sadness and a heavy heart<br />
that we say goodbye to our dear friend,<br />
and actor/director.<br />
In a life so full, she was involved with<br />
so many productions that it would take<br />
a entire newsletter to record them all.<br />
She and I had something in common<br />
inasmuch as she had attended<br />
SCEGGS in Darlinghurst, NSW and I<br />
had been a music teacher at SCEGGS<br />
in Moss Vale, NSW.<br />
I first came across Joan in my many<br />
trips to see productions she had put on<br />
at Javeenbah; then one day, she joined<br />
TMLT. From memory, her first<br />
production with TMLT was as an actor<br />
in Steel Magnolias, in 2011.<br />
Then, in the following year, she produced the hilarious The<br />
Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Town's Women Guild<br />
Dramatic Society – Murder Mystery. She had a great cast and<br />
was keen to direct another play, so in 2013 she produced Funny<br />
Money. Oh, the fun we had producing lots of stage £ notes!<br />
Joan’s last production with TMLT was the Farndale Christmas<br />
Carol in 2014.<br />
I found her a joy to work with, and I certainly learnt a great deal<br />
about directing. It was a privilege to sit beside her and assist,<br />
and generally be her gofer. Joan will have touched the hearts of<br />
all who worked with her and her name will go down in history.<br />
She is now up in that theatre in the sky, no longer suffering the<br />
indignity of the illness that made her final days so frustrating.<br />
Always a very independent woman, with strong views, she was<br />
definitely a colourful character. Good on you, Joan; you will be<br />
missed. RIP<br />
