Two Days, Three Movies

A friend stayed for a couple of nights this weekend. As an out of towner from the provinces she was quite naturally charmed by all that Petone offers - and the weather really sorted itself out, too. Included in the schedule were three movies at The Lighthouse.

The Well-Digger's Daughter - light, charming and entertaining.

 The Door - a little dark, some obvious dubbing but strangely compelling.

The clear pick of the three - A Royal Affair. The Danish royals would appear to be just as crazed, bloody and intriguing as the British royals at their best. Historically fairly accurate by all accounts and definitely makes you re-think the whole 'wonderful, wonderful Copehagen' spin.

We managed to fit in quite a bit of eating and shopping, too. And so we come to the mid-point of the holidays. Still so much to achieve.
