Weekly - 20 December 2006

Hello & welcome ***

Well, this is it - your last Movies & Events e-newsletter for 2006. We really hope you've enjoyed the year of online cinema and events we've offered you each week, and look forward to your company again with the next edition on 3 January. Set yourself a reminder to read this first 2007 edition quicksmart, as we'll have a great competition to kick off the new year - tickets to the new Will Smith movie, The Pursuit of Happyness.

Best wishes for the festive season,
Lisa
