Morning Mirror is a publication run for the benefit of Bulawayo's only geriatric and frail care home - the Edith Duly Nursing home ++++ 1) Editorial Above all else, I hope you choose these things. I hope you choose kindness. Even when others are being cruel. When someone asks you to give them your heart all warm and full of trust, and they give you something makeshift and full of barbed wire in return: be kind. Some people need to feel your heart wrap around them more than you know. I hope you choose empathy. Even when you don't want to. When someone gives you reasons to judge them, to dislike them; when they behave in ways that you do not understand: be empathetic. Some people need you to walk a mile in their shoes. I hope you choose calm. Even when you're in the midst of chaos. When someone upends your world, and the rest of the world feels utterly upside down: be calm. Some people need you to be their safe haven. I hope you choose peace. Even when wars rage within and around you. When someone tries to take you to battle, when it feels like your character and choices are under siege: be peaceful. Some people need your help learning to let go. I hope you choose trust. Even in the face of falsehoods. When someone has dishonored you, when they have lied to you, when someone has made you feel small; remember that not everyone will do these same things. So be trusting. Some people need you to take leaps of faith. I hope you choose patience. Even when you are overwhelmed by unknowns. When someone cannot give you answers, when you begin to wonder why you're here, when you simply want to give up: be patient. Some people are truly worth the wait. I hope you choose love. Even when it would be easier to hate. When someone stirs white-hot rage within you, when they insult you, when they question your worth: be loving. Some people need your love more than you do.

THE FORSYTE SAGA : SERIES 2 - TO LET Fleur and Jon meet secretly and agree they will elope to Scotland where they can marry without parental permission. Annette goes to Paris with Profond. - Once again the sumptuous production design, beautiful costumes and impressive use of locations make 'To Let' a visual feast in the great tradition of British costume dramas. [Rotten Tomatoes] - This second instalment lives up to the expectations created by the first series and by the novel itself. Highly recommended to fans of British top quality literary drama. [IMDb] - This is an extremely well-scripted piece of work and the resolution is undeniably moving. [The Guardian] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 9 JUNE AT 6.30 P.M. JERSEY BOYS 'Jersey Boys' from Oscar-winning director Clint Eastwood comes the big-screen adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical which ran for over 4,600 performances on Broadway. Frankie Valli (John Lloyd Young), Bob Gaudio (Erich Bergen), Nick Massi (Michael Lomenda) and Tommy DeVito (Vincent Piazza) have the magic sound that propels them from singing under streetlights to singing in spotlights. With songs like 'Sherry', 'Big Girls Don't Cry', 'Walk Like a Man' and many more, the quartet finds itself at the top of the charts. However, personal and professional problems threaten to tear the group apart. - 'Jersey Boys' tells a familiar story, yes, but rarely told this well and with this much heart and soul. [New York Post] - 'Jersey Boys',' a rags-to-riches tale with glimpses behind the scenes of the music business, is pretty well irresistible. [Maltin's Movie Guide] - Moves confidently for 135 minutes, with bright performances (Tony winner John Lloyd Young as Frankie outstanding), catchy numbers, a sparkle-and-sepia period look and one sublime in-joke for moviemanes. [Financial Times] - The film entertainingly recreates an acclaimed stage show that you can now see for the price of a multiplex ticket rather than a Broadway one. [Toronto Star ] - film. Both are, however, as near to perfection as is perhaps possible. Fine storytelling, characters, love triangles, action, history. [Blogger] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film & Red Carpet Members] THURSDAY 15 JUNE AT 6.30 P.M. SHARPE'S EAGLE Sean Bean stars as Sharpe, now a captain saddled with the South Essex, a battalion run by incompetents and filled with soldiers who have never been in battle. When the South Essex loses its colours (its regimental flag), Sharpe vows to save the honour of the regiment by capturing a French Imperial standard: an eagle. - One of the best in the series. Lots of action and adventure with an outstanding Sean Bean doing a wonderful job as Sharpe. Amazon] - It's got everything a Sharpe movie needs. Enemies within his own ranks, enemies to fight, little subplots, romance, singing, comedy, monologues, death, killing.... [Leterboxd.com] - The film adaptation of Sharpe's Eagle brings the book's essence to life. Every time I watch, I think to myself, 'this is a damn good show.' Sharpe's Eagle is neither a perfect book nor a perfect film. Both are, however, as near to perfection as is perhaps possible. Fine storytelling, characters, love triangles, action, history. [Blogger] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 16 JUNE AT 6.30 P.M. OPERA GALA FROM BADEN BADEN This glamorous live concert features Anna Netrebko, Elina Garana, Ramon Vargas, and Ludovic Tezier in a programme of well-known excerpts including the Pearl-Fishers Duet, the Flower Duet, the Toreador's Song and many more from operas by Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi and Saint-Saens. - You don't have to be an operatic aficionado to like this one. It is, in the main, a succession of popular operatic pieces, some arias, some duets, with a couple of quartets slung in for good measure, and sung by four of today's finest artists. [Amazon] - Operatic galas on disc can show the participants on careless form. No sign of that here, with an opening 'Flower Duet' from Lakme whose essential intimacy is conveyed in a nicely blended performance from Anna Netrebko and Elina Garana.
