The battle against the Americanisation of Australian culture is a long and arduous one, so it's heartening to see local businesses dig in.

Keep fighting the good fight, Reading Cinemas!

PS: I have chosen to forgive the grammatical error in the movie title below it by presuming they don't possess any plastic apostrophes.
