Do you think they'll really ask for the magazine?

No. I've been to dozens of screenings, have only been asked for it once, I said I left it at home and they let me in with no fuss

I always buy it but have never been asked.
The only time I can think they turned people away was for one of the Mail on Sunday previews a few years ago. It was a big film they were previewing and they only let people with the newspaper page in.

Thanks Geordie_ben, I thought it was that but couldn't member for sure. You obviously have younger grey matter than me;)

Yep Les Mis. The queue of people who didn't have the page got longer and angrier, and the staff gave up and let everyone in.

Had to cancel for Spy tonight, really disappointed, last free preview at my location was Testament of Youth in January

There seems to have been a mass cut back on Cineworld preview screenings in general, don't even see Sun+ at my local like there used to be.

We hardly ever get tickets near us and was really surprised to see so many tickets for Spy...was planning on paying to see that. Really looking forward to next Tuesday.

From BAFTA award-winning director Asif Kapadia (Senna), AMY tells the incredible story of six-time Grammy-winner Amy Winehouse - in her own words.
Featuring extensive unseen archive footage and previously unheard tracks, this strikingly modern, moving and vital film shines a light on the world we live in, in a way that very few can.
A once-in-a-generation talent and a pure jazz artist in the most authentic sense, Amy wrote and sung from the heart using her musical gifts to analyse her own problems. The combination of her raw honesty and supreme talent resulted in some of the most original and adored songs of the modern era.
Her huge success, however, resulted in relentless and invasive media attention which coupled with Amy’s troubled relationships and precarious lifestyle saw her life tragically begin to unravel.
Amy Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning in July 2011 at the age of 27.

Saw 'Spy' tonight and was pleasantly surprised by how entertaining and genuinely funny it was!

I really liked Melissa McCarthy's performance in 'Bridesmaids', but she hasn't really had a film since that was really, well, comical.

'Spy' is, I'm glad to say! And it was really nice to see her acting with Rose Byrne again, as they do seem to spark off of each other.

The plot won't trouble anyone too much (McCarthy is crash-recruited into spying in the field when the CIA finds the cover of all its chief Agents is blown) - but that wasn't too important, just sit back and enjoy the wisecracks.

It was a really strong British cast: Jude Law (in a hairpiece) as the smooth 007 clone; Miranda Hart (who normally just irritates me!) had quite a large part too, and also managed to be funny.

But the best bit was seeing Jason Statham spoof his too-cool-for-school tough guy persona. ("I once drove a car off a freeway on top of a train while I was on fire. Not the car — I was on fire!" ) Loved it!

Would thoroughly recommend this film as a great, undemanding weekend antidote to the stresses and strains of the week. Go! laugh! eat popcorn!
