UPDATE- THE PASSES ARE ALL CLAIMED

ENJOY THE MOVIE IF YOU ARE GOING AND REMEMBER TO CHECK BACK REGULARLY
PASSES COME UP OFTEN AND WITHOUT ADVANCE NOTICE

Okay readers, fire up your GoFoBo accounts—I have some more free advanced screening passes for you. This is for the latest film from Danny Boyle of Slumdog Millionaire/2012 Olympics fame. It features James McAvoy, and is really getting some good reviews.

As always when you request these tickets you are being directed to a third party site and you must judge your own comfort level with the info you are being asked to provide. Don't have a GoFoBo account yet? Pop in and create one—we get tickets quite often and you will need one if you ever wish to take advantage of these offers. Even if you don't want tickets to this event it is best to have an account set up because the tickets just fly off the shelves as soon as I put up a post. There are 30 double passes available.

Here's the link for the passes; you'll know you are in the right place when you see our Movie Maniac Logo.

The password is CPLMM84QW

The screening: Wednesday, April 10 Cineplex Westhills 7:00 PM

I'd love to hear from you if you go to this. Drop me a line through Comments. And if you request tickets and find you can't use them, please pass them on, or go back onto GoFoBo and release them so someone else can use them. The more tickets get requested and redeemed, the more they will give us for future events. ENJOY !

As always remember that you are being redirected to a third party site and you must judge your own comfort level in providing the info they ask for. But having said this, they do not check your ID when you exchange your ticket at the box office so you can use whatever name you want. Many people set up a separate email account for just such purposes. We managed to get 60 tickets (30 double) so your chances are good if you get on this right away. But once they are gone, they're gone. And if you do request one and find that you can't ultimately use it, please go back into GoFoBo and release the ticket so that somebody else can enjoy it.....

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT. REMEMBER TO CHECK BACK--TICKETS COME UP REGULARLY FOR MOVIE EVENTS

Let's start the new year with some free advanced screening passes. Short notice, but if you are free tomorrow (January 3rd) at 7:00 PM we have some passes for the new Matt Damon movie.

Promised Land is the new contemporary drama directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, Milk). Matt Damon plays Steve Butler, an ace corporate salesman who is sent along with his partner, Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand), to close a key rural town in his company’s expansion plans. With the town having been hit hard by the economic decline of recent years, the two outsiders see the local citizens as likely to accept their company’s offer, for drilling rights to their properties, as much-needed relief. What seems like an easy job for the duo becomes complicated by the objection of a respected schoolteacher (Hal Holbrook) with support from a grassroots campaign led by another man (John Krasinski), as well as the interest of a local woman (Rosemarie DeWitt). Promised Land explores America at the crossroads where big business and the strength of small-town community converge.

To get your free double passes visit this external site and enter the code CALGARYLAND. Print your pass and take it to the box office ahead of time for redemption. Good cast in this, looks like it's got potential. Enjoy.

Okay movie lovers, the tickets are now available to claim from GoFoBo for the avdanced screening of RUBY SPARKS. Hopefully you have your account set up and your password ready. If so log on now and request one or two tickets to this event. We've made it easier--- you don't even need an rsvp code this time.The password that they are asking for is YOUR own that you used to create your account. You will see our Movie Maniac Logo and your tickets are a few clicks away! They will be sent to your computer where you can print them off. If you do not have an account yet simply follow the steps in "create an account" found on the above link.

We have quite a few tickets available, but once they are all claimed, that's it. If you find yourself unable to use them after you have claimed them, pass them on to someone else---names are not checked. Can't find anybody? Just go back on to your account and 'release' the tickets for somebody else to use. If you make it to the movie I would love to hear from you- just drop me a line through comments at the top of any MM post. Enjoy!

I have quite a number of free double advanced screening tickets coming your way shortly for the movie "Ruby Sparks". This is by the same guys that brought you Little Miss Sunshine and the recent Safety Not Guaranteed.

To claim these tickets you must have a GoFoBo account set up. HERE'S HOW.

This part is important and you must judge your own comfort level. If you want to take advantage of this and other offers you will be redirected to an external site at http://www.gofobo.com/ and it is through them that you request your tickets. This will require that you set up a gofobo account and password and if you are okay with this, I would do so ahead of time. The register icon is small - it is up on the top right of the page along with login/ f/Connect/register. Click on register and set yourself up. They will send you a confirmation in the email you provide and then you can set your password up. Done- you are registered. Then when you read here on the Movie Maniac blog that passes are available you just go to gofobo, log on to your own account and enter the very specific RSVP code which I will provide for each movie.Then the tickets will be sent to your own computer for printing off.

We will have a designated number of double passes for advanced screenings held specifically for our readers. You don't need to worry about trying to find the right movie/page on gofobo- once you enter the rsvp code that I provide it will take you right to that movie. You will see our Movie Maniac name and Logo once you use the code. Don't worry that the image on GoFoBo looks different than this one below. You still put the rsvp code in the same place.

As with other advanced screening passes, you are not guaranteed admission UNTIL you redeem the pass at the box office for an actual theatre ticket.

Just in – the opportunity to get double advanced screening passes to Safety Not Guaranteed !

Safety Not Guaranteed is from the same people that gave us Little Miss Sunshine:

When an unusual classified ad inspires three cynical Seattle magazine employees to look for the story behind it, they discover a mysterious eccentric named Kenneth, a likable but paranoid supermarket clerk, who believes he’s solved the riddle of time travel and intends to depart again soon. Together, they embark on a hilarious, smart, and unexpectedly heartfelt journey that reveals how far believing can take you.

Just follow this link to an external site for your free tickets and enjoy!

Back in May we told you that MM had formed another partnership with a PR company which would send advanced screening tickets our way. Our first movie was the very enjoyable Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. We offered a lot of tickets through our site, and I'm happy to say that they were all taken. More importantly, they had an 85% redemption rate, which is very high. So as a result we will definitely be getting more tickets sent our way- we have shown them MM can put 'bums in seats', which is what the PR company is looking for.

So remember to check back regularly – promos often come up without too much advance notice – which is rather ironic for an advanced screening...
