Hugo Weaving has had a busy year. His latest role is quite the contrast to being the voice of Decepticon leader Megatron in Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen. Instead The Last Ride is more tearjerker than robo-killer. Revolving around a desperate father going on the run and dragging his son with him across the desert and into the unknown, the pair eventually find themselves faced with life-changing decision. If you like your movies a little deeper and affecting than the standard popcorn fare, you’ll find the chance to win one of 10 double in-season passes, thanks to Madman Cinema. Last Ride hits cinemas Thursday July 2.

UK electro-pop songstress Little Boots (aka Victoria Hesketh) has had a dream run in her own country, with the music and mainstream press lauding her as one of 2009’s breakout artists before she even had an album ready.

Grab hold of Hands for yourself by entering the competition to win one of five copies – kindly supplied by Warner Music. And don’t forget Little Boots will be playing Parklife on Sep 26!
