October Skies

I shiver when I think of the first rains,
Standing at the back door
Watching the water pour from gutters
And the cool air giving me goosebumps
The smell of sweet damp soil,
And the joy the rains bring to every African soul
That knows the fear of living through successive droughts
For those of us that lived on the outer fringes of the Kalahari
Feeling it's hot breath
Breathing over Matabeleland
Water rationing, know too well
What relief the early rains bring
To get soaked to the skin
Riding home from school
And the temptation to run into the raindrops just to feel the rain in our hair,
To dance and give thanks for the heavenly abundance
Watching dams fill up,
The grass turning from yellow to green
Dry soil drinking in the moisture
And watching the worry dissipate
As the farmers plan for another round of planting and harvesting
(And paying off bank loans)
Animals gathering at waterholes
And the Victoria Falls in full flood
In this delicate balance between survival and desperation,
We know the anticipation of waiting
And watching the October skies
And listening for distant thunder
And hoping and praying for the rains,
And finally when they arrive
And we are warmly snuggled up
As darkness falls
Listening to the raindrops
On the roof
Knowing it's all going to be all right,
We are safe for another year
And we can lala guhle just for tonight.

Thank you Cyndi Barker - Author

WATCHDOG

BIRDS HITTING YOUR WINDOWS We thought we'd tried everything but it was still
happening, that sickening thud as yet another kingfisher or emerald spotted wood dove, amongst many others, flew into the glass.
Then I discovered something that really does work. I ordered a glass pen from Takealot and we drew vertical lines four inches apart on the inside of the windows.
Not one fatality since that day! Check it out on

THURSDAY 10 NOVEMBER STAR WARS V: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
In the second of the original 'Star Wars' trilogy, the battle to save the galaxy from the evil Darth Vader rages on. Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) are tested in a devastating attack by the Imperial army and its AT-AT walkers. Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) seeks out the ancient Yoda to learn the secrets of the Jedi, secrets Luke will need when the Dark Side of the Force beckons him in a destiny-defining duel with Darth Vader.
- Dark, sinister, but ultimately even more involving than the original Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back defies viewer expectations and takes the series to heightened emotional levels. [Rotten Tomatoes]
- In many ways the new film is a better film than Star Wars, visually more exciting, more artful and meticulous in detail. [TIME Magazine]
- The deepest, darkest, most mature, and most thoughtful entry in the series. [Movie Metropolis]
- By far the best part of the trilogy, Empire is a classic that completely transcends its genre, with a reputation that can only grow and grow. [BBC.com]
- It is a visual extravaganza from beginning to end, one of the most visionary and inventive of all films. [Chicago Sun-Times]
Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members]

FRIDAY 11 NOVEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. MUSIC FOR REMEMBRANCE DAY: FAURE'S REQUIEM & THE WORLD ORCHESTRA FOR PEACE
For Remembrance Day, the gentlest and most consoling of requiems seems not inappropriate. It comes as part of a concert of Faure's' music that also includes the well-known Elegy for cello and other works. After the interval comes Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony which in itself has little to do with war and remembrance, though it begins in gloom and despair and ends with optimism and triumph, but this performance is given by the World Orchestra for Peace.
- This (Faure) is a disc of sublime music which receives sublime performances by totally sympathetic musicians. The recording quality offers faultless imaging and camera work and is presented in high quality sound. One cannot really ask for more and a 5 star rating seems only just.. [Amazon]
- Eric Picard gives a mesmerising account of the haunting cello Elegie... If that wasn't enough, there follows a performance of the Requiem with the sensational Chen Reiss and Matthias Goerne the equal of any I have heard live or on disc...Unmissable. [International Record Review]
- It (Tchaikovsky) is very well played, indeed, with particular attention to shifts in tempo and mood, especially in the brooding first movement, gracefully elegant in the second and third, and appropriately triumphant in the finale. [Amazon]
- This is magnificent Tchaikovsky. Gergiev is not always like this, but when he is there are few today that can touch him. [MusicWeb International]
Admission: US$2.00 [free to Red Carpet Members]

THURSDAY 17 NOVEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. THE RAINMAKER [released 18 November 1997]
Struggling new attorney Rudy Baylor (Matt Damon) resorts to working for a shady lawyer (Mickey Rourke), where he meets paralegal Deck Shifflet (Danny DeVito). When the insurance company of Dot Black (Mary Kay Place) refuses her dying son coverage, Baylor and Shifflet team up to fight the corrupt corporation, taking on its callous lawyer (Jon Voight). Meanwhile, Baylor becomes involved with Kelly Riker (Claire Danes), an abused wife, whose husband complicates matters when he confronts Baylor.
-A wonderfully quirky cast under Francis Ford Coppola's direction makes this one of the more enjoyable Grisham movies. Newsweek
-Coppola has infused The Rainmaker with enough humour, character, honest emotion and storytelling style to make it one of the year's most entertaining movies.
[Los Angeles Times]
A surprisingly entertaining and compelling courtroom drama that finds its real strength outside the court. Film Journal International]
Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members]
