JUST in time for Australia Day celebrations, Event Cinemas Glendale has made all 2D tickets $8.50.
If you are looking for a last minute way to entertain the children, or want to celebrate having the house to yourself again, a trip to the movies is the perfect way to spend some time.
See new releases such as Underworld 4 starring Kate Beckinsale, J Edgar with Leonardo Di Caprio and the hilarious A Few Best Men, all being released on Thursday. Why not revisit some of your favourite films from Christmas?
There is something for everyone, with sessions of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for the grown- ups and Happy Feet 2, The Adventures of Tin Tin or Puss in Boots for the young at heart. 3D sessions and Vmax
surcharges apply. The offer is available
from Thursday, January 26 to Wednesday, February 1.
