    hmm pleased about Tilda Swinton, The Counterfeiters, Once, Atonement and Daniel Day Lewis. :T :j
    Shame I missed out on going to see No Country for Old Men because of a friend visiting and then a holiday. :(
    I'm still a bit 'meh' about Juno, I thought the others were better. It felt like Superbad part 2 to me, and I did enjoy Superbad too but just don't get the fuss over Juno. :confused:

    Thnaks for posting updates and the results, Wolverine. :)

    Good grief, another two codes for The Bank Job, that is the most I have ever seen for a film!

    I got an email from SeeFilmFirst about a gala screening of The Other Boleyn Girl at Odeon Covent Garden on 3 March (and Newcastle on 6 March) where you get a copy of the book and a goody bag. Tickets on sale for "only £35." Isn't that strange, the tickets for the free previews are for the same day, just not that cinema! I wonder which freebie regular would spend that amount of money just for a drinks reception and a goody bag?

    I had that e-mail, think the charge is due to it being a charity fundraiser- giving something back and all that.

    "you will receive a copy of the novel, and there will be a drinks reception and a book signing with the author, Philippa Gregory"

    So if you weren't a normal free previewer you probably spend £20 on a ticket and popcorn and a drink so £35 for something a bit more special with a signed book and goody bag and all going to charity isn't bad.

    I agree but this offer comes from seefilmfirst, sent out to regular free preview ticket users - I just wonder whether we are the right clientele, that's all. ;)

  • Just wondering which films people would like to see as previews...........

    I for one am hoping to see some new codes soon as I am bored with The Bank Job codes!!!! Okay, okay before any of you moan at me I am being selfish as I have already seen it and am going tonight to see it again with my mum who never goes to the cinema unless I drag her along...... So I do appreciate that the more codes that come out the more access people have to this type of screening!!!

    Anyone back to my original question - what does everyone want to see in March?
