Movie Night

Dear Friends,

hmars_attacks_1996_jack_nicholson_glenn_close_annette_bening_pierce_brosnan
We have already gone through 3 weeks of the new academic year, and Montreal is getting colder day by day. How about coming together and spend our time with our nice friends, watching an interesting movie. Sounds Good!

Actually, there are a few people in the world who could share their imagination with others in a smart way! Some movie directors are in this category!!!! and now, we are going to screen one of these smart movies, a one which is entertaining too, and would blow your mind and imagination.

So come on and join us to watch “Mars Attacks” by “Tim Burton“, a first ranked comedy movie with a critical view toward politicians.

Let’s make a different night with only 2 Bucks! (and snack is included)…

Where? LevBukhman Room at SSMU building (beside the food court)
When?
Saturday October 3rd, 7:00pm to 9:30pm
How Long?
Although it is not important to us, but 106 minutes!

How Much?
It’s already mentioned, but for those interested in Canadian double checks, its only 2.0 $
