So after many weeks of hitting the Hollywood blockbusters, this week we’re lining up a return trip to the Lighthouse Cinema, for anyone who hasn’t been before - this stylish new cinema is a must! (they also do lovely popcorn)
The Popes Toilet (El Baño del Papa)
This charming and colourful work documents the wavering fortunes of a deprived Uruguayan family at the announcement of a 1988 visit by the Holy Father to their poverty-stricken village of Melo. Scraping together a meagre existence by smuggling contraband on a push-bike from a Brazilian border town, family patriarch Beto - with thinking-cap firmly in place - decides to cash in on the potential flurry of pious activity by building a first-class latrine into which the congregants can pay to relieve themselves.
Movie starts at 8.35pm this Thursday 2nd October, so meet up in the Lighthouse Cinema Cafe from 8pm, as always the meet up spot will be marked with some PINK balloons. Please arrive early, I'll be there from about 7.30pm sampling some of the delicious buns and having a cup of coffee :)
Tickets can be bought online, The Lighthouse cinema is in Smithfield, Dublin 7, and their website has directions and a map, and a google map as well.
The easiest way, is to get the red line Luas to Smithfield, get off and walk around the corner to the right, you'll notice the Jameson distillery on the corner. If you walk half way up Smithfield Market Square - the cinema is located on the left surrounded by residential apartments and beside Thomas Reads Bar - I've included my mobile number in case you get lost.
Check out the trailer here, If you've never been to our movie meetups, this Thursday is the perfect time, as the Lighthouse Cinema is truly a wonderful location, and the movie itself comes highly recommended.
Did you know that if everyone who has been in contact about club came on the same night, we'd fill all 4 screens in the Lighthouse Cinema (over 600 seats!)

After recent weeks lean towards big superhero type films, we’re moving to something on a lighter note with ‘Get Smart‘ in Cineworlds Cinema on Parnell St.
Based on the classic tv show of the same name, the big-screen movie version returns, this time with Steve Carell as Maxwell Smart, aka Agent 86, who works for CONTROL battling the forces of KAOS with the more-competent Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway) at his side.
Movie starts at 9pm, and as ever - the meetup is 30mins (8.30pm) before hand in Cineworlds 1st Floor Cafe Bar. Please try to be early, as the last two outings we’ve missed late comers. Tickets for this movie can also be purchased online.
As always the meet up table will be marked by some PINK BALLOONS, so please have a look around the bar for a table with balloons.

So we’re back with another meet up this week, and after some critisim of the previous movie selection 
- I’ve gone with Hellboy II: The Golden Army, directed by Guillermo del Toro.
Movie starts at 7.40pm in Cineworld, and meetup is as usual 30 minutes beforehand (7.10pm) in the Cineworld 1st floor Bar. I would urge everyone to be as early as possible - I will be there before 7pm anyway.
As this is a new release, I advise to prebook tickets online, or in the cinema.
As usual, the meet up spot will be marked with some PINK balloons.
After the movie, we usually drop back to The Oval bar, but might make a switch this week to Panama Bar which has a special on cocktails on Thursday (2 for €8)
As always, everyone is welcome

The first meetup of the Dublin Midweek Movie Club was held last wednesday at Cineworld.
A bunch of random strangers got together through the power of the internet (the internet is great isn't it?) to catch a movie and have a chat about it afterwards.
Each week we plan to meetup and go see a movie together at one of Dublins cinemas.
The movie of choice this week was 'Charlie Bartlett' which mixed some great comedy moments with a strong teen angst plot.
Next weeks movie has not been decided yet, but you can join the group over on Facebook for all the details on meeting up.
Everyone welcome!
