WIN inseason passes to W. The profoundly American story of George W. Bush
Closing date: Monday February 23
Thanks to Hoyts, we have 10 double in-season passes up for grabs to see W.

Yale graduate, a sometimes Texas oilman, a one-time drinker and an Evangelical convert -George W. Bush was many things. But at the end of the day, he became the least likely of all: President of the United States. How did this improbable character, long considered the black sheep of his esteemed family, transform himself into the Leader of the Free World?

W. is the profoundly American story of George W. Bush, a man who wrestled with his personal demons in the long shadow of his father, found God at 40 and made an incredible turnaround that ultimately led him to the White House. Whether you love him or hate him, there is no question that George W. Bush is one of the most controversial public figures in recent memory. In an unprecedented undertaking, acclaimed director Oliver Stone is bringing the life of the 43rd United States President to the big screen as only he can.

W. takes viewers through Bush’s eventful life -- his struggles and triumphs, how he found both his wife and his faith, and of course the critical days leading up to his decision to invade Iraq.

LAST CHANCE HARVEY prize pack up for grabs! A heartfelt romance celebrating new beginnings..
Closing date: Monday February 23
Thanks to Icon Distribution you have the chance to WIN one of 5 prize packs for LAST CHANCE HARVEY!

Prize packs include a double in-season pass to Last Chance Harvey + gift boxed tea set including tins of tea + 1 small glass teapot (RRP $35)

Academy Award® winners Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man) and Emma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility) reunite in Last Chance Harvey, a heartfelt romance that celebrates new beginnings—at any age. The film is written and directed by Joel Hopkins (Jump Tomorrow).

The supporting cast includes Dame Eileen Atkins (Cold Mountain, Gosford Park), Liane Balaban (Definitely Maybe, Happy Here and Now), James Brolin, (Traffic, Catch Me If You Can), Kathy Baker (The Jane Austen Book Club, Edward Scissorhands) and Richard Schiff (“The West Wing”). John de Borman (Serendipity, The Full Monty) is Director of Photography, with Jon Henson (The Wind In The Willows, I Could Never Be Your Woman) as Production Designer, Natalie Ward (Death At A Funeral, Breaking And Entering) as Costume Designer, and Marilyn Macdonald (The Bourne Ultimatum, The Good Shepherd) as Make-up and Hair Designer. Producers are Tim Perell and Nicola Usborne. Jawal Nga is Executive Producer.

New Yorker Harvey Shine (Dustin Hoffman) is on the verge of losing his dead-end job as a jingle writer. Warned by his boss (Richard Schiff) that he has just one more chance to deliver, Harvey goes to London for a weekend to attend his daughter’s (Liane Balaban) wedding but promises to be back on Monday morning to make an important meeting—or else.

Harvey arrives in London only to learn his daughter has chosen to have her stepfather (James Brolin) walk her down the aisle. Trying to hide his devastation, Harvey leaves the wedding before the reception in hopes of getting to the airport on time, but misses the plane anyway. When he calls his boss to explain, Harvey is fired on the spot.

Drowning his sorrows at the airport bar, Harvey strikes up a conversation with Kate (Emma Thompson), a sensitive, 40-something employee of the Office of National Statistics. Kate, whose life is limited to work, the occasional humiliating blind date and endless phone calls from her smothering mother (Eileen Atkins), is touched by Harvey, who finds himself energized by her intelligence and compassion.

The growing connection between the pair inspires both as they unexpectedly transform one another’s lives.
