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!)

Varsity + Roofman at Innaloo (Half price session)
Varsity Innaloo , 57 Liege St, Woodlands WA 6018, Innaloo, AUPlease join me for the new crime dramedy based on a true story from Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine, The Place Beyond the Pines).
Book your ticket for the 6:30pm session here. We'll meet in Varsity Innaloo (next door) from 5:30pm. It's a half price session so tickets are $13.50 (or $15.20 online) if you sign up for their free "Cinebuzz" membership, or there are recliners for $16.50 ($18.20 online). My seat is E7.
Based on an unbelievable true story, Roofman follows Jeffrey Manchester (Channing Tatum), a former Army Ranger and struggling father who turns to robbing McDonald's restaurants by cutting holes in their roofs, earning him the nickname: Roofman. After escaping prison, he secretly lives inside a Toys "R" Us for six months, surviving undetected while planning his next move. But when he falls for Leigh (Kirsten Dunst), a divorced mom drawn to his undeniable charm, his double life begins to unravel, setting off a compelling and suspenseful game of cat and mouse as his past closes in.
"As a rare true-crime drama that doesn’t just replay its wild supermarket headline but finds the soul beating underneath it, Cianfrance turns Roofman’s unbelievable premise into something refreshingly sweet and human." -- Tania Hussain, Collider.
"A rare on-screen pairing of single parents in their 40s, both trying to navigate a stressful situation, hard enough even without the criminality. There’s real chemistry there." -- Benjamin Lee, Guardian.
Anyone and everyone are welcome - so don't be shy if you haven't met any of us before. We all came to Meetup to meet new people! And if you've got any questions please leave a comment or feel free to shoot me a message. Please also remember to keep your RSVP up to date.

Dinner + A Bucket of Blood at The Moon Cafe
The Moon Cafe, 323 William Street, Northbridge, AUPlease join me for dinner and a cult classic at The Moon Cafe, presented by Black Maria Film Collective's Tuesdays on Tape.
We'll meet outside The Moon Cafe at 6:45pm. Then we'll get a table when doors open at 7:00pm. The film starts at 7:30pm and table service is available all night.
Tickets are $8 + BF and available online here. Due to the nature of the event I recommend booking early. And please ensure your RSVP is kept up to date.
Dim-witted Walter Paisley (Dick Miller), a busboy at a beatnik café who doesn't fit in with the cool scene around him, attempts to woo his beautiful co-worker, Carla (Barboura Morris), by making a bust of her. When his clumsiness results in the death of his landlady's cat, he panics and hides its body under a layer of plaster. But when Carla and her friends enthuse over the resulting artwork, Walter decides to create some bigger and more elaborate pieces using the same artistic process...
One of many Roger Corman films to gain a cult following thanks to the technological marvel of VHS, we present this absurdly hysterical satire on beatnik culture on a videotape that has NEVER been played before! That's right - you're getting the highest possible fidelity... that videotape can offer.
Black Maria Film Collective is an organisation that aims to foster and cultivate a collective interest in film as an art form. In Western Australia alone, there are a myriad of masterminds in the realm of film, however, they might often feel alone and helpless in Australia’s current film industry. Black Maria’s primary objective is to support and encourage film culture in WA and highlight its importance in today’s current society.
"It's a low budget masterwork that skewers the fad of its era while lambasting the ever-fickle art world." -- Sean Mulvihill, FanboyNation. com
"Roger Corman's madhouse of beatnik poseurs, drug dealing lowlifes, and poetry spewing beards has become a cult movie thanks to the gallows humor and crazy daddy-o dialogue." -- Sean Axmaker, Stream on Demand.
