A Night at the Movies
2023-11-20 19:00 | British Columbia
BLACKBERRY – Monday, Nov 20th, 7 pm
Matt Johnson’s masterfully crafted film is a workplace comedy for fans of the Social Network and The Big Short. Adapted from Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff’s book Losing the Signal, BlackBerry is a tale about the invention of the now-defunct smartphone that is as funny as it is riveting.
In the late ’90s, Research In Motion was just a humble tech outfit selling modems in Waterloo, Ontario. Best friends and co-founders Mike Lazaridis (Jay Baruchel) — a soft-spoken tech whiz who’s the brains of the operation — and Douglas Fregin (Matt Johnson) — a headband-donning, nerve-grating goof — are trying to sell a product they call PocketLink, a never-before-seen combination of cellphone, email device, and pager. The telecom world isn’t impressed with Mike and Doug’s invention, but a domineering, foul-mouthed salesman named Jim Balsillie (Glenn Howerton) is. Jim sees the device’s potential and brokers a deal to acquire part of RIM in exchange for cash.
What follows is the gut-wrenching and side-splitting story of the meteoric rise and catastrophic fall of the world’s first handheld computer.
BlackBerry is a Canadian story told with tremendous national pride by Canadian talent. The three visionaries at the centre of this tale, despite their device’s ultimate descent into obsolescence, changed the way the world communicates today.

The movies take place at the Prince Rupert Cineplex at 7 p.m. with the doors opening at 6:30. You do not buy a ticket through the Cineplex system, rather you come to our PRCAC table outside whichever theatre our movie is scheduled to be shown in, with $12 in cash (we don’t have the means to accept debit or credit at this time), and if you can bring the correct change it would really help. Imagine if everyone comes with a twenty-dollar bill.

Details on specific proposed projects within the City’s budget? This is your opportunity!
Prince Rupert City Council will receive the 2024 Proposed Budget at a Special Meeting on November 6th, where the full budget/document will be provided and released. This meeting on the Thursday following is a first opportunity for the public to come and ask questions about proposed spending. In addition to this public session will be a second opportunity at the November 14th Council meeting – after which Council can make their decisions with respect to approved spending for 2024. Can’t attend the session but have questions and/or want to weigh in? Check out our Balancing Act public budget software that allows you to directly weigh in on spending priorities (link to be provided after November 6th), email finance@princerupert.ca or call (250) 627 0935.

A Night at the Movies
2023-10-25 19:00 | British Columbia
RICEBOY SLEEPS – Wednesday, Oct. 25th, 7 pm

In the 1990s, a young widow named So-young (Choi Seung-yoon) moves from South Korea to Canada with her young son, Dong-hyun (Dohyun Noel Hwang). Neither of them speaks English very well or understands the cultures of their new home. But this is where they live now, where Dong-hyun will grow up, and they’ll make the best of it.
Vancouver director Anthony Shim distinguishes himself as a storyteller of piercing honesty and remarkable specificity, unpacking the lives of So-young and Dong-hyun over a decade of change and adaptation. (Dong-hyun is played as a teen by Ethan Hwang.)
Riceboy Sleeps lays out its interwoven stories simply, shifting between the different perspectives of its protagonists. Poignantly capturing Dong-hyun’s loneliness and frustration alongside So-young’s isolation and sacrifices, Shim keeps the film compassionate and poetic
As to why it is called Riceboy Sleeps – In the Q&A session at Red Sea International Film Festival, the director said, in response to the reason for choosing the name of the movie, that he always listens to music while writing his films, at that time he was listening to an album called “Riceboy Sleeps” by Jon Thor Birgisson, which prompted him to use it as a placeholder title, but the title stuck and became the definite title.

The movies take place at the Prince Rupert Cineplex at 7 p.m. with the doors opening at 6:30. You do not buy a ticket through the Cineplex system, rather you come to our PRCAC table outside whichever theatre our movie is scheduled to be shown in, with $12 in cash (we don’t have the means to accept debit or credit at this time), and if you can bring the correct change it would really help.

54•40: Two Nights with a West Coast Band
2023-10-21 19:00 - 22:00 | British Columbia
54•40 is…
Neil Osborne -vocals/guitar
Brad Merritt -bass
Matt Johnson- drums
Dave Genn -guitars /keys/backing vocals
David “Oz” Osborne -organ/backing vocals
Over the course of 40+ years of performing and recording, 54•40 has not only made their mark on the Canadian music industry, but the entire cultural landscape. Led by chief songwriter Neil Osborne, 54•40 has carved out a legacy of gold and platinum albums and an outstanding reputation for their live performances that carries through to this day. With decades of hit songs and more in the making, the secret to 54•40’s longevity is their ability to redefine and reinvent themselves.
A 54•40 concert experience gives an understanding of how their songs have touched, inspired, and changed people’s lives. For those who have followed the band from their humble beginnings in East Vancouver to younger fans that are just discovering the band’s originality, 54•40 shows are extraordinary affairs that bridge gaps between generations through a shared love of music.
The band is currently preparing for the release of their 2023 album “West Coast Band” which was recorded remotely during the thick of COVID-19 lockdowns. Having come through the hardship with a sense of unity, the album celebrates the common history they share as band members.
‍”54•40 is always future thinking, as a band we’re always expanding our borders, (after all the name does comes from a border dispute) what we call ‘FUTURE HISTORY’…” ~ Neil Osborne
