Giveaway: Tickets to see ‘The Raid 2’ (Closed)

Arriving in Aussie cinemas (twin hammers at the ready, from the look of the poster!) on March 28 is Indonesian film The Raid 2, director Gareth Evans’ follow-up to his 2011 action flick The Raid.

The original film was an impressive piece of martial arts cinema given its tiny budget and cast of relative unknowns, and Evans suggested in interviews at the time (like the one we did) that the sequel would have the wider scope and … (read more)

Giveaway: Tickets to see ‘The Wind Rises’ in cinemas! (closed)

It’s our first competition of the year!

Courtesy of Madman Entertainment, we have five double passes to give away to anime maestro Hayao Miyazaki’s latest film, The Wind Rises, when it hits cinemas on February 27!

After this film, we got the less frenetic Tai Chi Hero, and there is apparently a planned third film in the works, Tai Chi Summit.

Giveaway: Tickets to ‘Tai Chi Hero’ (Closed)

Thanks again to Icon, we’ve got five double passes to Tai Chi Hero to give away!

It’s the sequel to 3D steampunk martial-arts film Tai Chi 0, which we had out in cinemas here a month ago. Given that the two films were shot back-to-back on a shared budget, I’d expect this film to be pretty tightly coupled to the storyline of the last one, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go in unaware (or armed with a … (read more)
