Morning Mirror is a publication run for the benefit of Bulawayo's only geriatric and frail care home - the Edith Duly Nursing home ++++ EDITORIAL WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK. A generation that walked to school and then walked back. A generation that did their homework alone to get out asap to play in the street. A generation that spent all their free time in the streets with their Friends. A generation that played hide and seek when dark. A generation that made mud cakes. A generation that collected sports cards. A generation that found, collected and washed & Returned empty coke bottles to the local grocery store for 5 cents each , then bought a Mountain Dew and candy bar with the money. A generation that made paper toys with their bare hands. A generation who bought vinyl albums to play on record players. A generation that collected photos and albums of clippings of their life experiences as a Kid. A generation that played board games and cards on rainy days. A generation whose TV went off at midnight after playing the National Anthem. A generation that had parents who were there. A generation that laughed under the covers in bed so parents didn't know we were still awake. A generation that is passing and unfortunately it will never return no matter how hard we try. I loved Growing up when I did. it was the best of times. AUTHOR UNKNOWN ++++ Watchdog Nozizwe Mother of Nations S.O.S. 54 loaves of brown bread needed per week for childrens' home and soup kitchens.

CABARET Cabaret was released fifty years ago on 13 February 1972. It starred Liza Minnelli, giving her her first chance to sing on screen, and she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. With seven other Academy Awards including Best Supporting Actor (Joel Grey), Best Director (Bob Fosse) and Best Original Song Score, it holds the record for most Oscars earned by a film that was not awarded Best Picture. In Berlin in 1931 American cabaret singer Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli) meets British academic Brian Roberts (Michael York), who is finishing his university studies. Despite Brian's confusion over his sexuality, the pair become lovers, but the arrival of the wealthy and decadent playboy Maximilian von Heune (Helmut Griem) complicates matters for them both. This love triangle plays out against the rise of the Nazi party and the collapse of the Weimar Republic. - Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey are electrifying; director Bob Fosse's choreography and the camera work are scintillating. [Empire Magazine] - This viscerally powerful, deliriously inspired musical stands the test of time, and then some. [Guardian]] - Bob Fosse captures the atmosphere incredibly with a multi-layered musical that continues to hold up over the years. [Old School Reviews] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 11 FEBRUARY AT 6.30 P.M. DON QUIXOTE Don Quixote is one of the great masterpieces of world literature and Marius Petipa turned it into a ballet for the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg in 1871. Mikhail Baryshnikov's sparkling full-length production for the American Ballet Theatre captures all the excitement, Spanish colour, and humour of Cervantes' original masterpiece and is one of the most popular and joyful ballets in the repertoire. - 'Don Quixote or Kitri's Wedding', Mikhail Baryshnikov's new version of the Russian ballet classic, is a thumping success by every available measure and as an occasion for splendiferous dancing, spectacle, colour and whimsy, it is clearly a winner. [Washington Post] - The dancers had the audience gasping... [New York Times] Admission: $2.00 [free to Red Carpet Members] THURSDAY 17 FEBRUARY AT 6.30 P.M. ALIENS Aliens, set in the far future, stars Sigourney Weaver as Lieutenant Ellen Ripley, the sole survivor of an alien attack on her ship. When communications are lost with a human colony on the moon on which her crew first encountered the alien creatures, Ripley agrees to return to the site with a troop of Colonial Marines to investigate. The original film was shown at the Academy a while back. Alien 3 came out 30 years ago followed by Alien Resurrection five years later so the second in the series is being shown now and numbers 3 & 4 will be shown on their anniversaries, 22 May and 6 November, then the final films in the series will follow in 2023. - Scene to scene, encounter to encounter, its tension builds unrelentingly. So, fasten your seat belts. It's a blast. [Chicago Tribune] - Surpassing its predecessor in terms of sheer spectacle, this sequel to Ridley Scott's outer-space nightmare from James Cameron is an outstanding science-fiction thriller. [Radio Times] - Action thrillers assail but rarely test us; this is the tautest, most provoking, and altogether most draining example ever made. [New Yorker] - Truly great cinema. [Empire Magazine] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 18 FEBRUARY AT 6.30 P.M. ROSSINI: ZELMIRA Zelmira was Rossini's 33rd opera (composed when he was just 30!) and first performed two hundred years ago on 16 February 1822. It fell out of the repertoire largely because of the extreme vocal demands and wasn't staged at all for over a hundred years until 1965, after which it became clear that it was one of Rossini's most pioneering works, plunging directly into a drama in which arias, ensembles and recitatives blend in an almost continuous musical flow - The music is gorgeous, all the singers are marvellous, the acting wonderful, and Juan Diego Florez and Kate Aldrich are unforgettable [Desert Cart] - Stupendous, Florez takes high notes at full volume but more securely than anybody else alive. I urge all lovers of bel canto opera to get to know this astounding opera,.
