Of course, there’s no need to rush that premium Prosecco or Peroni… drinks and antipasto or cheese platters can be taken into the fully licensed auditoria, to savour and enjoy. High-backed seats with extra legroom make for a truly luxurious cinematic experience like no other in Canberra.

There are the usual favourites on offer at Palace Electric, but with an elegant twist, including award-winning olive-oil popcorn and gourmet handmade choc-tops, which our VIP winners will receive upon arrival.

Just wanted to thank you for my prize! I took my best friend to see The Great Gatsby at Palace Electric,absolutely loved escaping to another world in this very comfy cinema, then moved on to a lip smacking lunch at Italian and Sons seated next to their wood fired oven on a chilly winter day. Used my stay at the very well located and stylish QuiStt Apartments whilst moving house, was one perfect night without a wall of moving boxes which re-energised me for the unpacking process. Thanks Riot Act and your generous sponsors!

Nobody reading that comment is jealous at all. (Imagine this comment typed in green…No, greener than that. What part of ’emerald’ don’t you understand?)

Not my province, but I’ll ask

And for those who were wondering the winners were:

Shona, blindcommissioner & rosscoact

Congratulations all.

It’s not Friday, but it is the 25th, so here goes:

==
Children be not always young
But parents are forever so
Nights out placed somewhere between
Those watched over
And films unseen

Flight – Denzel Washington – planes flying upside down – what more could you want?

So, I was looking at the competition to see when it ends – Friday 25th of Feb??? Wouldn’t that be Monday?

Anyway, I’m hanging out for Jurassic Park IV. Though I may be waiting a while…

Gungahlin Al6:36 am 23 Feb 13

Most definitely Cloud Atlas. The anticipation for this film is palpable…

‘Weekend at Bernie’s III’… No, actually I’m looking forward to ‘Save Your Legs!’. A brilliant cast and love watching the original doco over and over.

I would love to go see the new Gatsby film – and this seems a most fitting way to see it!

Can’t wait to get lost in the oppulence and drama of Baz Luhrmann’s ‘The Great Gatsby’!

Went there the other night. No phone coverage. I love you Palace.

Wherever you go, you face a premium price. It is lovely to have a premium experience.

I’m looking forward to seeing is Searching For Sugar Man. The story fascinates me seeing it in a world class cinema would be superb.

There’s one called ‘Asterix and Obelix
in Britain’, and of all the flix,
humour most appeals to poetix.
(She’d also like popcorn with her tix.)

Two words: Benedict Cumberbatch.

Actually, a few more words: J.J Abrams.

Our household will be journeying off to Star Trek: Into Darkness, potentially the only movie we will see in the cinema this year, because this is a household which loves the work of both Benedict Cumberbatch and J.J Abrams. Also, the last Star Trek movie was pretty good.

Friday 25th?

Love Love Love to see Amour. <3

I’m a “thinker”, my fiancé’s a “do-er” – can’t wait to see if I Give It A Year ends with flowers or tears like a shower.

I’m glad to see another cinema spring up. Given the name, does it have anything to do with the former and sadly-missed Electric Shadows?

it’s a reference, not a relationship

After the phenomenal ‘District 9’, I’ll be lining up to see Neill Blomkamp’s ‘Elysium’. Bald Bourne … in space!

With a 4 yr old and a 4 month old, I am sadly out of touch with impending movies. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t love to win though!

They would love to go to Django Unchained! Lots of bright colours and movement.

(This is not my proper entry. I am waiting until later.)

Lincoln. Love to see it in a quality location, a movie night has to be special!

dreamlikecheese6:54 pm 13 Feb 13

Cloud Atlas because I love the book and I’m curious to see something I considered unfilmable be brought to life.

Jack the Giant Slayer – with our grown-up responsibilities; mortgage, jobs, bills, it’ll be nice to escape back into childhood fairytales for a few hours

Saw Django Unchained there – masterpiece.
Palace is warm – hooray!
Seats – fantastic.
The bar is beautiful.
Even the loos are lovely.
I’m seeing Flight there next.

The Room, nothing beats a raucous and rowdy late night audience watching the worst movie ever made in the best cinema in Canberra.

Lincoln. What he achieved with abolishing slavery was one of the most heroic acts in history. It was resisted by every nation on earth.

The Intouchables is one I’ve put to one side. I’ve seen the flashier flicks, now it’s time for some soul.

‘Ender’s Game’ is the one for me. I love seeing a good book that I really enjoyed brought to life, it gets the imagination going!

Django Unchained – how can you go wrong with a Tarantino movie!

I’m anticipating seeing Mood Indigo this year, hoping for a return to form for Michel Gondry.

Sleepwalk With Me so I can see instead of just hearing writer and This American Life radio show contributor Mike Birbiglia.

Looking forward to the drama, pathos and beauty of Anna Karenina.

I’m excited about Cloud Atlas, despite Jim Sturgess doing a Mickey Rooney in Breakfast At Tiffany’s

I’m looking forward to Amour. Despite the trailer and synopsis, my hope is that it is a remake of Funny Games but with elderly characters.
