Just come back from free screening of Dreamgirls - one of the best films I have seen in a while. For those of you who watch American Idol, you may remember the fantastic talents of Jennifer Hudson who was wrongly voted off early! Well, she is magnificent in this film and is a great actress. Eddie Murphy plays a brilliant part, at first you think 'here we go again - Beverly Hills Cop all over' but half an hour into the film you believe in his character completely. Beyonce is, well, Beyonce (on occasion forgot what film I was watching, remembering her from Austin Powers), but for me Jennifer Hudson stole the show. A great feel good motown movie with a great soundtrack. A must go see! :j

caseya - I'll second that - really enjoyed the film - I love Motown which I grew up listening to - the story isn't completely correct but you get the idea - fabulous costumes, sets, choreography, great music too - although I think a better film would be the real story of Motown with the original music and names unchanged - maybe that'll happen one day when enough time has passed - now that would be interesting.

That said, 'Dreamgirls' really entertains and what can you say about Jennifer Hudson except WOW

I'm so glad of the good reviews this film is getting - I'm off to see it tonight and I'm really looking forward to it!

Dreamgirls...
What can I say that hasn't been said?! Really enjoyed it. The soundtrack is excellent. Out of everyone, Hudson's performance is by far the most superior one. She has an amazing voice, and I hope this film boosts her career cos she deserves it. She got a Golden Globe for best supporting actress.
Murphy got the best supporting actor and the film won the best motion pic (musical/drama).

In another genre, off to see Bobby tonight.

I saw Dreamgirls in Cardiff Vue last night - fantastic film and they showed it in a larger theatre than usual but there were eight of us watching! I was stunned - awards, oscar nominations, enthusiastic reviews and that had to be the fewest number of people that I have ever seen at a free screening.

Saw Bobby last Night at Cardiff Cineworld - Mary Anne St

Excellent Movie ...All Star Cast and well Directed....Worth Paying to See

Arrived at Cinema at 18:45 for Advertised start time of 19:00 (which was on the Original Ticket and on the Reminder sent by Momentum only a couple of days ago) only to find the Movie had actually started at 18:30 this obviously meant we had missed the first 15 Mins of the movie

Asked Cinema Staff the Obvious "Why?" Question and they Said "It is not our fault it is Momentum's, they Insisted we start the Movie at 18:30" and they also said "They (Momentum) had informed you all of this"

I contacted Momentum to Question this Fact and this was their Reponse

I’m sorry you missed the first 15 minutes or so of the film though – I’d like to take this opportunity to confirm Momentum Pictures did not ask the cinema to start the film at 6.30pm. All yesterday’s Cineworld screenings were booked for 7pm starts; and if there had been any change, all our winners would have been notified at least 48 hours in advance via email.

We have asked Cineworld for an explanation as this is neither acceptable nor fair to our customers

Sounds About Right to me as previously if there have been any changes in Momentums screening times or Dates. I have always been informed in Advance.

Shame on you Cineworld Cardiff firstly for changing the Time of the Screening and Secondly for trying to Blame someone else for it !!!
