When a recipe says “add wine” never ask “to what”?

Movie Group
Our last outing:
Film: The Devil Wears Prada 2
Date: Wednesday 6th May 2026
Time: 11.00 am
Venue: Warriewood Cinema
This film had the same great cast as the first “Devil Wears Prada”.
It was a glossy & polished movie with an excellent original cast returning for this sequel. It showcased beautiful clothes & revealed the glitz & glamour of the fashion world including the drama, ambition & backbiting. It fell a little short of the original movie but was still an enjoyable watch.
Afterwards 6 of us remained to enjoy coffee & a chat.
All are welcome to our cinema events
Just turn up at the cinema and purchase your ticket (no need to register/sign on or say you are coming).
