If you can join me for My Sisters Keeper than that would be great. The movie starts at 5.40pm so a meeting time of 5.10pm would be great so we can buy our tickets and get munchies if we want.

SYNOPSIS
The US President and UK Prime Minister fancy a war, but not everyone agrees that war is a good thing. US General Miller certainly doesn't think so and neither does the British Secretary of State for International Development, Simon Foster. But when the mild-mannered minister inadvertently appears to back the war on prime-time television, he immediately attracts the attention of the PMs venomously aggressive communications chief Malcolm Tucker, who latches onto him like a hawk. Soon, the Brits are in Washington, where diplomatic relations collide with trans-Atlantic spin doctors and Fosters off-hand remark quickly spirals into an insurmountable mountain of conflict.

I have been wanting to see this movie for awhile so if you would like to join me than please come along.

I thought a meeting time of 2.15pm would give us enough time to buy the tickets and any munchies you may want to get. The movie starts at 2.40pm.

Many many many many apologies I am not able to come along I am having to take my youngest son to A and E for a suspected broken arm, I truly truly truly apologise this has not been a good weekend for finances and personally.

Hi Everyone,
I thought I would try and squeeze in a Cheap Tuesday night before I go back to Sydney. I have been looking forward to seeing Julie and Julia for a while now.
The session starts at 6:00pm so if we can all meet in the Broadway Skycity Cinema's foyer by 5:30 to purchase tickets, food etc that would be great.
If you think you may be running late tickets can be reserved/purchased through the Skycity cinemas website for pickup on arrival. http://www.skycitycinemas.co.nz/film.cmsx?MovieID=HO00003619
If anyone is keen we could go for a coffee or a bite to eat after the film.
Hope to see you there
Sarah

Hey Everyone,
I have had to change the movie as the Monty Python documentary is now only screening in the morning, so the new film is The Surrogates.
I am thinking of having dinner at one of the restaurants that surrounds the cinema, there is a reasonable selection of restaurants (popular vote on the night will decide the venue) and then going to see the Monty Python documentary currently playing at Hoyts Sylvia Park.
The movie starts at 9:00pm so I was thinking if we meet at 7pm for a leisurely dinner before retiring to the cinema.
We will meet at the bottom of the escalator up to the cinema at 7pm or if you would just like to join us for the film you can meet us in the cinema foyer at 8:30pm.
Hope to see you there
Sarah

My trip to Auckland has been delayed so I will have to delay this meetup as well. Hope fully this will eenable a few more of you to come along as well.

As those of you who know me can vouch I am a huge fan of animals and I particularly love Auckland Zoo, so on my brief visit home to NZ I am going to squeeze in at least one visit.

Hopefully the weather will be good so we can spend a couple of hours wandering round in the sun and maybe even squeeze in a picnic lunch.

I will meet anyone who wants to join me outside the main entrance at 11am. Bring something for lunch if you would like to picnic otherwise there is a cafe on site.

More information about the zoo can be found here

Hope to see you there

Are u into Horror and Thriller Movies...

Join me for Final Destination on Saturday evening -

Movie Details:

On what should have been a fun-filled day at the races, Nick O’Bannon has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple race cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands, brutally killing his friends and causing the upper deck of the stands to collapse on him. When he comes out of this grisly nightmare Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, to leave… escaping seconds before Nick’s frightening vision becomes a terrible reality. Thinking they’ve cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning. As his premonitions continue and the crash survivors begin to die one-by-one—in increasingly gruesome ways—Nick must figure out how to cheat death once and for all before he, too, reaches his final destination

Join me on Cheap as Tuesdays to see Couples Retreat.

I thought a meeting time of 6.15pm would be good so if you wanted to grab a quick bite to eat before the movie started at 7pm. Or if you prefer to meet at around 6.35pm to get your ticket and some munchies for the movie.

I will be standing by the entrance closest to the toilets.

SYPNOSIS:
Four Midwestern couples embark on a journey to a tropical island resort. While one of the couples is there to work on their marriage, the other three set out to jet ski, spa and enjoy some fun in the sun. They soon discover that participation in the resort's couples therapy is not optional. Suddenly, their group-rate vacation comes at a price. What follows is a hilarious look at real world problems faced by all couples.
