Our 1st Giveaway: Free Movie Passes from Cineplex!

Note: This Giveaway is now closed. Thanks!!


One thing you may not know about me is that I am a huge movie fan. My first job was in a movie theater, and I worked for quite a few years in a movie rental store as well. I have seen a lot of movies. It is one of my favourite things to do on weekends. There is nothing quite like a night out at the movie theater. Just the smell of the popcorn is amazing...mmm...popcorn...

This summer, one of the most anticipated movies (probably ever) is being released: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. After seeing the first movie, I started reading the books, and like most other people, I loved them. Such a great blend of adventure and fantasy, all mixed with a little teenage angst. And the movies have been phenomenal so far. So it is with great anticipation that I look forward to seeing the last installment of the series, which comes out (coincidentally enough!) on July 15^th; the same day Peanut is also supposed to come out!

Cineplex Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures Canada have an awesome deal this summer. They are offering a Harry Potter passport, which means you get to see all 7 Harry Potter movies in the theatre on the big screen again. Plus, you get 700 Scene points, and priority ticketing for the Deathly Hallows Part 2. You also get a contest entry, and download deals. To check out the details, go to the Cineplex website. The passport only costs $24.99, which considering the price of movies these days, I think is a steal of a deal. The best part about the whole thing, in my opinion, is that they are showing one movie each week, so you pretty much have plans for you and your Hubby or your kiddos all summer. They run each weekend (Saturday mornings and Monday evenings) until the new movie comes out. So it’s also a good refresher for those of you who are like me, and  have trouble remembering what the heck happened in the last movies. You can also grab tickets for the individual shows for only $5...I don't remember the last time I only paid $5 for a movie. 

Now for the exciting news: Cineplex is giving 5 of my readers a night out for 2 at the movies! Yay! Who doesn’t love free stuff? And who doesn’t love movies? So, for your chance to win, here are the details to enter:

• Post a comment below this post telling me what your favourite Harry Potter movie is, and why you love it. This doesn’t have to be a book report…just let me know what turns your crank. Maybe you have a thing for snake-men with no nostrils? (ewww…)

• If you share this post on your blog, Facebook, or Twitter, you will receive a bonus entry. Just post an additional comment with the link. 

• At the end of the contest period, I will choose the contest winners using the random number generator at Random.org, and post the winners here.

• The passes are good for general admission for ANY movie of your choice at your local Canadian Cineplex theatres...sorry my international friends. Just to be clear, it is not the passport you will be winning, and you don't have to use the passes for Harry Potter, you can see whatever movie your little heart desires. 

And that’s it! Easy-peasy, no? The contest will close at 7pm MST on Friday, June 3, 2011. 

If you are a Harry Potter fanatic, or even if you just sorta like him, you can check out all things Harry here.

I feel like I should end off with something wizardly, like a spell or something…goodicus luckioso???
