Not Dry July

So apparently there is this thing going around called ‘Dry July’. The idea, not to have a drink of alcohol all month! Sounds ridiculously easy to me, I often go for months without a drink. What’s the big deal? Okay, sure some people might have a problem with it. I wanted to try something a Not Dry July

Kick-Ass

Seen in 2D @ Hoyts, Broadway, Australia Cinema: 2 With Amanda Ticket Price: $0.00 Worth it? How would super-heros really go in the really real real world? Well, it would probably involve getting beaten up a lot and lots of pain. Which is exactly what this movie shows us. Maybe this is why no one Kick-Ass

How to Train Your Dragon

Seen in 2D @ Hoyts, Broadway, Australia Cinema: 3 With Amanda Ticket Price: $0.00 Worth it? Simple easy going story that sign posts it’s intentions clearly and in advance. But still a lot of fun.

The Hurt Locker

Seen @ Verona, Paddington, Australia Cinema: 4 Ticket Price: $9.50 Worth it? Yes, but expect parts of it to be hard to watch. War ain’t a nice thing.

The Men Who Stare at Goats

Seen @ Verona, Paddington, Australia Cinema: 4 Ticket Price: $17.00 Worth it? Worth seeing, and worth spending the money on. But does not need the ‘big screen’ experience to get its message across.

Alice in Wonderland

Seen @ Hoyts, Broadway, Australia Cinema: 9 With Barbara, Catherien, Amanda & Michelle Ticket Price: $20.50 Worth it? Mostly. Not really sure that it needs or benefits greatly from the third dimension. I think this movie will stand up just as well in 2D, so spend big only if you want to.
