Hi all

Please note the change of time and new venue. Sorry, Dendy now only showing the film in its Canberra cinema. So we are going to Hoyts Broadway which is also one of the Inner West Movie Monster venues. For the drivers Hoyts is a great venue as it has 4 hours free parking with validation of your ticket at the cinema. For those coming by public transport there are frequent buses at the door coming from Central Station and from the inner west.

If you are new to Movie Monsters events make sure you read the procedures on the Message Board. The procedures are the first item posted by Anurag. It will tell you everything you need to know.

I will meet you in the foodcourt on the same level as Hoyts. Have a look at my photo, I'll be sitting at a table near the entrance to the foodcourt, about opposite the Turkish kebab food store (there is only one of them).

Sandra Hall, SMH film critic, had some good things to say about the film. Check out her review on the SMH site, www.smh.com.au

Here's the synopsis of the movie from its promo:

TWO FISTS ONE HEART is a contemporary family drama set in Perth, Western Australia. Anthony Argo is a champion boxer and nightclub doorman. He is trained by his father Joe who has brought his Sicilian values with him to Australia. Joe's proud traditional view of the world increasingly comes into conflict with his son's pursuit of 'la dolce vita'.

Anthony meets Kate who stimulates him with ideas and love. She introduces him to a wider social group, way beyond the Australian society his father has known. Anthony starts to question many of the foundations of his upbringing, in particular, the role that violence plays in the resolution of conflict.

As he assimilates his newfound broader view of the world, while battling with his own personal disappointments, he realises he is now mature enough to be his own man and see his father and his values within the context of his own developing philosophy.

Director:Shawn Seet
Cast:Daniel Amalm, Ennio Fantastichini, Jessica Marais, Rai Fazio, Costas Kilias, Rosemary Lenzo, Tim Minchin

Coffee and dessert afterwards at Glebe.

See you at the movies!

    • “ This is my first time, and I missed the e-mail which tells that the time has been changed, therefore I was late. I opened up my e-mail only to check the venue and I noticed that the time had been changed. I would be more careful for incoming message. The movie started with violence ( or when I entered in the theater. the seen was fight.) then probably, you would expected violence from the title. Just recently I watched "Love the beast"-Eric Bana's auto biography. The reason why I watched it is that I got a discount ticket. I enjoyed both movies, background is maybe similar, but different fathers and talented sons. Violence is not really my favour, nevertheless, I enjoyed at the end. It is the opportunity to watch movies which you usually not choose to watch. ”
