  • Movie- THE CHOSEN Season 4 Eps 1 & 2 (4.30pm)

    Category: Movies Movie- THE CHOSEN Season 4 Eps 1 & 2 (4.30pm)


    February 3, 2024

    The CHOSEN season 4 is getting a theatrical run when it arrives in February 2024. Audiences can expect an emotionally heavy season as the plot centers on the final weeks and months of Jesus's life, including the death of John the Baptist and Judas's betrayal.

    Clashing kingdoms. Rival rulers. The enemies of Jesus close in while His followers struggle to keep up, leaving him to carry the burden alone. Threatened by the reality of Jesus’ growing influence, religious leaders do the unthinkable—ally with their Roman oppressors. As the seeds of betrayal are planted and opposition to Jesus’ message turns violent, he’s left with no alternative but demand his followers RISE UP.

    The cast, including Jonathan Roumie as Jesus and Shara Isaac as Simon Peter, will largely remain the same, with other familiar characters returning as well.

    The CHOSEN season 4 will continue Dallas Jenkins’s highly successful modern imagining of the life of Jesus Christ, and the 2024 release date for the return of Jonathan Roumie’s praised portrayal will once again be in theaters. The Chosen first debuted in 2017 and quickly gained attention beyond its core Faith-based viewership. The show has been incredibly well received by both critics and general audiences, swelling in viewership before its popularity exploded when it arrived on Peacock in 2021.

    The Chosen season 4 will have a theatrical run before becoming available for streaming or being broadcast (presumably on The CW). The first episodes of The Chosen season 4 will arrive on February 1, with the remaining 5 released biweekly throughout the rest of the month.

    The cast of The Chosen season 4 is expected to remain more-or-less unchanged from the first three seasons. Jonathan Roumie (Jesus Revolution) will once again be portraying Jesus Christ, with Shara Isaac (Madam Secretary) back as lead disciple Simon Peter. Mary Magdalene will of course be played once more by Elizabeth Tabish (The Shift).

    All three have received praise for their performances in The Chosen, with each being noted for making the Biblical figures relatable (especially Roumie in the lead as Jesus).

    2024 Nominee BAFTA Film Award Outstanding British Film of the Year: THE OLD OAK

    Cannes Film Festival Ken Loach for THE OLD OAK 2023 Nominee Palme d’Or

    Graeme Tuckett Stuff-Waikato Times, 4/5 Stars “Ken Loach’s swansong is gorgeous, flawed, relatable and unmissable as ever.”

    THE OLD OAK is a special place. Not only is it the last pub standing, but it’s also the only remaining public space where people can meet in a once thriving community.

    THE OLD OAK is a special place. Not only is it the last pub standing, but it’s also the only remaining public space where people can meet in a once thriving mining community that has now fallen on hard times after 30 years of decline. TJ Ballantyne (Dave Turner) the landlord hangs on to The Old Oak by his fingertips.

    His predicament is endangered even more when the pub becomes contested territory after the arrival of Syrian refugees who are placed in the village without any notice. In an unlikely friendship TJ meets a curious young Syrian Yara [Ebla Mari] with her camera. Can they find a way for the two communities to understand each other? So unfolds a deeply moving drama about their fragilities and hopes.

    Director: Ken Loach

  • Movie- BANK OF DAVE (4.30pm)

    Category: Movies Movie- BANK OF DAVE (4.30pm)


    February 4, 2024

    The true underdog story of how Dave Fishwick, a working class man and self-made millionaire, fought to set up a community bank so that he could help the local businesses of Burnley not only survive, but thrive. In his bid to help his beloved community, he has to take on the elitist financial institutions of London and fight to receive the first, new banking license to be issued in over 150 years.

    Jen Shieff, Rotorua Post. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED "It's a David-and-Goliath story, in which snooty Oxford-educated bankers get their comeuppance."

    'Bank of Dave' tells the story of how a working class Burnley man and self-made millionaire fought to set up a community bank. Dave Fishwick (Rory Kinnear) sells vans in Burnley, Lancashire. Once the world's most productive and profitable mill town, Burnley is now one of the most deprived and neglected towns in the UK. Dave, however, through a combination of hustle and hard work, has done well for himself -- so well that in the wake of the last financial crisis he started lending money at reduced rates to his customers and local businesses. When some of those businesses start making money they ask Dave to reinvest it for them. This gives Dave an idea. Why not set up a tiny local bank that uses local money to fund local enterprise? He will call it: The Bank of Dave. The elite, London based financial authorities however, haven't granted a new bank license for over 150 years and they're not keen to grant one to a van salesmen from Burnley. Dave must enlist the help of London lawyer, Hugh (Joel Fry), junior doctor Alexandra (Phoebe Dynevor) and some local rock legends (Def Leppard) to help fight the good cause.

    February 9, 2024

    Friday February 9 at Raglan Old School Arts Centre, 5 Stewart Street, Raglan. Upstairs in Whare Tapere.

    Koha entry. Doors open at 7pm with Live & Local starting at 7.30pm. Bar open.

    Live & Local is back after a summer break. Kicking off the year we have singer-songwriter Joe Wilson, Penni Feather with Nicky Keys, and The Blukes.

    Joe Wilson is a singer-songwriter who spent five years busking across New Zealand, Australia and the UK and has now been in Raglan for nine years. His relatable lyrics and heartfelt lyrics are embedded within sweet melodies that give a timeless and nostalgic feel to the songs.

    Singer Penni Feather and keyboardist extraordinaire Nicky Keys will showcase more of their recent collaboration. Having taken a few songs out for a ‘training run’ at the last Live & Local in December, they’re back to road-test more of the material for their forthcoming cabaret show.

    The Blukes - Six guys got together, each with a song of his choice. With their ages ranging from 40 to 75, the songs cover a wide variety of genres and decades. You will be surprised at what these blokes can play on ukes!

    If you’re interested in performing at one of these shows, contact penni@raglanartscentre.co.nz

    Monty has built a loyal following throughout his homeland since he started touring full noise in 2012, and is known as a touching, spirited performer, whose soul-folk songs ask the big questions while telling the small stories. With a warm rich voice and articulate guitar grooves, he digs out and distills themes of tenderness, personal revolution and adventure...

    Sat Feb 10, doors 7pm, show 7.30. Tickets $20 from Undertheradar or $25 on the door.

    $20 presales from:

    Movie- BANK OF DAVE (5.00pm)

    Category: Movies Movie- BANK OF DAVE (5.00pm)


    February 17, 2024

    The true underdog story of how Dave Fishwick, a working class man and self-made millionaire, fought to set up a community bank so that he could help the local businesses of Burnley not only survive, but thrive. In his bid to help his beloved community, he has to take on the elitist financial institutions of London and fight to receive the first, new banking license to be issued in over 150 years.

    Jen Shieff, Rotorua Post. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED "It's a David-and-Goliath story, in which snooty Oxford-educated bankers get their comeuppance."

    'Bank of Dave' tells the story of how a working class Burnley man and self-made millionaire fought to set up a community bank. Dave Fishwick (Rory Kinnear) sells vans in Burnley, Lancashire. Once the world's most productive and profitable mill town, Burnley is now one of the most deprived and neglected towns in the UK. Dave, however, through a combination of hustle and hard work, has done well for himself -- so well that in the wake of the last financial crisis he started lending money at reduced rates to his customers and local businesses. When some of those businesses start making money they ask Dave to reinvest it for them. This gives Dave an idea. Why not set up a tiny local bank that uses local money to fund local enterprise? He will call it: The Bank of Dave. The elite, London based financial authorities however, haven't granted a new bank license for over 150 years and they're not keen to grant one to a van salesmen from Burnley. Dave must enlist the help of London lawyer, Hugh (Joel Fry), junior doctor Alexandra (Phoebe Dynevor) and some local rock legends (Def Leppard) to help fight the good cause.

    February 17, 2024

    Three British teenage girls go on a rites-of-passage holiday, drinking, clubbing and hooking up in what should be the best summer of their lives. Winner of the Un Certain Regard prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, HOW TO HAVE SEX is a vibrant and authentic depiction of the agonies, ecstasies and ride-or-die glory of young female friendship.

    BAFTA 2024 nomination for Outstanding British Film and Outstanding Debut by a British Director.

    HOW TO HAVE SEX is a vibrant and authentic depiction of the agonies, ecstasies and ride-or-die glory of young female friendship, from rising British filmmaker Molly Manning Walker.

    Three British teenage girls go on a rites-of-passage holiday, drinking, clubbing and hooking up in what should be the best summer of their lives. As they dance their way across the sun-drenched streets of Malia, they find themselves navigating the complexities of sex, consent and self-discovery.

    Captured with luminous visuals and a pitch-perfect soundtrack, Manning Walker’s directorial debut paints a painfully familiar portrait of young adulthood, and how first sexual experiences should – or shouldn’t – play out.

    Making her debut feature with a vibrant, compassionate look at sex, friendship and the sweet smell of a boozy sunburned summer holiday, director and cinematographer Molly Manning Walker (Scrapper, Good Thanks, You?) paints an exhilarating, moving, and painfully familiar portrait of young adulthood.

    WINTER WILSON (UK)

    Winter Wilson are one of the hardest-working duos on the European folk scene. Pre-pandemic, they had toured Australia, NZ and Canada. In 2018, they toured the UK with folk-rock icons Fairport Convention.

    Dave Wilson is recognised as one of the UK’s best contemporary folk songwriters. His songs are sung in folk clubs the world over and covered by such greats as Vin Garbutt. He’s also a fine guitarist, banjo player and singer. Kip Winter “simply has a voice to die for” (Maverick Magazine). She is equally at home singing contemporary folk, traditional Gaelic songs and blues and also plays piano accordion, flute and guitar.

    Together, the couple have produced ten albums, blending truly stunning harmonies with subtle, skilful musicianship.

    SADIE & JAY (AUS/NZ)

    Jay's intricate finger style guitar and Sadie's melodic double bass create a vivid soundscape for their passionate song-writing. From lively rag-time blues and comical ditties to compelling epic tales and ballads, this pairing will take you on a rousing musical adventure.

    Sadie & Jay have toured across Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Their distinctive music has received outstanding reviews and multiple awards over three original albums.

    Cannes Film Festival Ken Loach for THE OLD OAK 2023 Nominee Palme d’Or

    Graeme Tuckett Stuff-Waikato Times, 4/5 Stars “Ken Loach’s swansong is gorgeous, flawed, relatable and unmissable as ever.”

    THE OLD OAK is a special place. Not only is it the last pub standing, but it’s also the only remaining public space where people can meet in a once thriving community.

    THE OLD OAK is a special place. Not only is it the last pub standing, but it’s also the only remaining public space where people can meet in a once thriving mining community that has now fallen on hard times after 30 years of decline. TJ Ballantyne (Dave Turner) the landlord hangs on to The Old Oak by his fingertips.

    His predicament is endangered even more when the pub becomes contested territory after the arrival of Syrian refugees who are placed in the village without any notice. In an unlikely friendship TJ meets a curious young Syrian Yara [Ebla Mari] with her camera. Can they find a way for the two communities to understand each other? So unfolds a deeply moving drama about their fragilities and hopes.
