Prince of Persia starts 27 May
Thursday, April 29 by Julie Brown
Hot on the heels of IRON MAN 2 (just launched) is Disney's PRINCE OF PERSIA, starting 27 May here on the World's Biggest Screen.
From the team that brought the “Pirates of the Caribbean” trilogy to the big screen, Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films present PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME, an epic action-adventure set in the mystical lands of Persia. A rogue prince (JAKE GYLLENHAAL) reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious princess (GEMMA ARTERTON) and together, they race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time – a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

Sydney Swans take on fire-breathing dragons for Redkite kids
Thursday, April 15 by Julie Brown
It was the Swans versus the Dragons at IMAX yesterday, when charity Redkite held a special event for children and their families in Darling Harbour. Players from the Sydney Swans gave everyone a treat by signing pictures and footies before donning their 3D glasses for a screening of the smash IMAX hit of the holidays, "How To Train Your Dragon 3D".
Providing real support to children, young people and their families through cancer has remained Redkite's single focus for over 25 years. Currently there are approximately 5000 families affected by childhood and adolescent cancer in Australia. Redkite is there with real and practical support for the whole family from the moment of diagnosis, throughout treatment and when families return home to the community. Children and young people from all major cities, regional areas and remote locations across Australia are supported by Redkite. Redkite receives no government funding and relies entirely on the generosity of the community to provide these important services.

Dragon slays the reviews
Thursday, April 1 by Julie Brown
"This film easily stands alongside Coraline and Avatar as one of the finest theatrical 3D experiences thus far."
Don't just take our word for it. These film reviewers also happen to think How To Train Your Dragon 3D is one of the best animated films to come out of Hollywood in recent years. The 3D animation is a real highlight, but it is the emotional heart of the story - the friendship between Viking teen Hiccup and the dragon he is meant to slay - that elevates the the film to another level.
