This is The Rabbit. 

Some of you may not be aware that the rabbit is the harshest critic in the animal world.

The Rabbit and his kin will be reviewing cinemas, movies, snacks and even car parking in Brisbane and beyond. He has contacts everywhere, including close relations within "the industry". (a cousin at Warner Bros and a brother who hasn't been seen since starring in Donnie Darko ten years ago).

Join the Rabbit as he chews through the facade of the multiplex and checks under the seats at arthouse cinemas to reveal just what you're paying for when you go to the movies.
