All you need to do is click here, and redeem your passes. 

In a dystopian Detroit, abandoned brick mansions left from better times now house only the most dangerous criminals. Unable to control the crime, the police constructed a colossal containment wall around this area to protect the rest of the city. Undercover cop Damien Collier (Paul Walker) is determined to bring his father’s killer, Tremaine (RZA) to justice and every day is a battle against corruption. For Lino (David Belle), every day is a fight to live an honest life. Their paths never should have crossed, but when Tremaine kidnaps Lino’s girlfriend, Damien reluctantly accepts the help of the fearless ex-convict, and together they must stop a sinister plot to devastate the entire city. With stylized action featuring thrilling Parkour stunts (David Belle is the co-founder of this physical training discipline), Brick Mansions puts an entertaining twist on the action genre.

Win Passes to See 'Robocop' Before It's Released!

Regardless of how you feel about remakes, the trailers for the biggest film for the first part of 2014 have piqued the interest of almost all of us. I'll be the first to admit eating humble pie. Robocop, the 1987 version, is one of the movies that started my interested in the medium...so to say I was worried is probably an understatement. With each piece of media released, the promise of this version's cred increases.

In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years, but have been forbidden for law enforcement in America. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance to build a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine.

We are happy to offer 30 lucky readers admit-two passes to see Robocop before it's released. First and foremost you need to be a fan of the PDC facebook page. Then send an email to punchdrunkcritics@gmail.com with what you think is the most important thing Robocop needs to have to make you a fan!

The screening will take place at 7PM on Monday, February 10th at the AMC in Georgetown. Please make sure you can attend before you enter. Good luck!




THIS CONTEST WILL END ON FEBRUARY, 5TH 2013. WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY AFTER. THANKS!
