What we’re about
This is a group to get together for a meal, see a movie, and meet new people. We were called "Innaloo Cinema and Varsity Burger" but we've branched out!
We meet for chat before the movie, usually going for somewhere within walking distance with casual dining available. The cinemas we go to are a bit of a mix, but more often closer to the city than further out.
All ages are welcome and feel free to bring a friend, although they will have the best experience if they sign up for a free Meetup account.
We cover all genres - blockbuster action, horror, animated, indie, and foreign festival films. New and old. So if you don't see anything that catches your fancy right away just stay tuned. To get notified about new events you can join the group, then enable "new event announcements" and "event reminders" here. Recently the new owners of the Meetup platform have been pushing the paid "Meetup+" membership, but you can just ignore these requests and continue to sign up as a free user to access the group.
There's also a tentative list of upcoming events here. I go to see hundreds of films every year, and I know I'm not the only one, so drop a post in the group if you want to know if anyone else is interested in seeing a particular film. And feel free to message me with requests for events, questions, suggestions, or if you're just not sure if the group is for you (but it is!)
Upcoming events (2)
See all- Varsity + Maareesan (மாரீசன்) at Event Innaloo (Half price session)Event Innaloo, Innaloo
Book your ticket for the 9:00pm session here. Feel free to join me in Varsity (next door) for a chat any time from 8:00pm (look for the baldy with the big red beard). We'll head into the cinema around 9:00pm. Seating is allocated so there's no rush.
It's a half price session so regular seats are $13.50 (or $15.20 online), if you sign up for their free "Cinebuzz" membership. My seat is M8.
Director Sudheesh Sankar teams up once again with Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu, reuniting the duo after their memorable pairing in the 2023 hit 'Maamannan.' This new outing, scripted by V. Krishna Moorthy, promises a blend of humour, drama, and star power.
A clever thief (Fahadh Faasil) tries to con an elderly man (Vadivelu) but begins to suspect that he may be suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The con journey from Nagercoil to Tiruvannamalai turns into an emotional mystery.
The cast is packed with familiar faces: Vivek Prasanna, Kovai Sarala, and P. L. Thenappan take on significant roles, while Sithara, Livingston, Renuka, Saravana Subbiah, Krishna, Haritha, and Telephone Raja round out the ensemble.
This is a Kollywood comedy/thriller in Tamil with English subtitles. There will almost certainly be a 7 minute intermission in the middle.
There aren't any reviews out yet but here's what some of the fans are getting hyped about.
"Vadivelu back in full form, Fahadh in beast mode, Yuvan on fire — Maareesan is cooking something BIG." -- CineRyder-IN, YouTube user.
"20 years back if someone had told me Vadivelu sir and Kovai Sarala Mam will be acting in Serious role, Would you have believed it? LEGENDS 🙌" -- coolkrishnan, YouTube user.
"South always comes up with such unique and fresh stories. And what an honour to be able to watch as seasoned an actor as Fahadh Faasil in this refreshing storyline. Eagerly waiting for the movie to release!!!" -- Sneharathee4, YouTube user.
