August After Hours at Universal Studios Singapore

It's ACTION month this August.

If you still haven't heard, Universal Studios Singapore welcomes you to soak in the beautiful evening view along Hollywood Boulevard.

Enjoy After Hours, every Friday and Saturday from 7pm till 10pm for S$5. Don't throw away your admission stub! Show it at Hollywood China Bistro, KT's Grill, Palio, Fiesta, OSIA and Starz Restaurant for 15% discount off the total bill.

But as Shrek loved to say, "Cut to the chase!", so we will.

There's plenty of ACTION in the movies shown this month. Movie Nights are featuring some great blockbusters - watch power-armoured superheroes (and supervillains) slough it out. Or if you prefer conspiracies, there's the good ol' adventure blast-from-the-past or the modern day thriller.

And remember to cap your night out spectacularly (literally!) by catching Lake Hollywood Spectacular at 10pm. But please bear in mind that Hollywood After Hours is not available this Saturday, 31 July, because of Sundown Festival.

Here are the movies screening in August, only at Pantages Hollywood Theater:
