Decided to treat myself to a movie. I
originally wanted to see SAVED but it was only showing in Kenilworth,
the other side of Cape Town. I looked up the movies at the Ster-Kinekor
complex at Tygervalley
and it seemed as most of the movies were for
children. I looked up the details for THE
VILLAGE and
wondered if it
was worth seeing. I almost decided to give it a miss, but changed
my mind. The cinema was almost empty. At first the movie seemed a
little too wierd, but the scenery and particularly the old-world
country style of living really interested me. It turned out to be a
really good movie with a real twist in it's tale. As I said, I really
enjoyed their simple style of living and their little stone-built
cottages with shutters on the windows. No cash, no credit-cards, no
roads, no cars, no electricity. And the movie has no steamy sex-scenes,
or bad-language or blasphemy! Don't be put off by the "evil" that lurks
in the forest surrounding to village.
