Ponyo Double Passes: Sosuke Method

Ponyo is soon to be showing at Dendy, and it's not the English dubbed version!

One day, Sosuke finds a goldfish named Ponyo stuck in a jar, and the two start a beautiful friendship, promising to stay friends forever. When Ponyo's father, a sorcerer who lives under the sea, forces Ponyo to return with him, an underwater adventure begins. The movie was directed Hayao Miyazaki, best known for his films Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away. We have four double passes to give away for this exciting movie.

The Boat That Rocked DVDs: Maritime Madness

Stick eight DJs on a boat and what do you have? The Boat That Rocked. Director of Love Actually, Richard Curtis brings us this comedy set in the late '60s, a time when the BBC only played two hours of pop every week. In The Boat That Rocked, eight DJs rebel against this despicable lack of pop by running a pirate radio station from a boat in the North Sea. The movie kicks off when Carl (Tom Sturridge) goes to stay with his godfather Quentin (Bill Nighy), the ship's captain. There, he meets the DJs, led by The Count (Phillip Seymour Hoffman), and the fun ensues. We have seven rockin' copies of the DVD to send your way. To score, tell us what your DJ name would be.
