Free Cinema Tickets - Discussion thread

Beate

I got TWO feedback surveys for TOBG in my inbox today - the usual one where you just tick boxes and a more indepth one where they want you to describe the atmosphere etc.! Gosh. They are keeping me busy today!

Arrived early enough to get in, glad to hear from Eryn-Kathleen that they let people in to see another film or gave them the chance of tickets to TOBG another night. The same thing happened at the showing of the Bucket list at the Omni Centre so don't know if they were as obliging.
Not quite sure why so many people don't get in. Do SFF release more tickets in the belief that some people won't turn up?
Regarding the film.............. Costumes were very good, plot a bit slow at times, but an enjoyable film none the less. Would give it 6.5 out of 10. Thought Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman were very good and the scheming in the film quite believable.
By the way have been asked for ID at Omni Centre and of course did not have any, but they let me in anyway.

Right, so, just came back from The Other Boleyn Girl at Odeon Greenwich (I just love that cinema). The audience was half empty (or half full, depending on your view) and not too annyoing. The sound went a bit funny at the beginning which caused some huge giggles, but luckily it was soon rectified. I have read the book and of course you can never compress a whole book into 2 hours without things falling to the wayside, so the events felt a little bit rushed for me, but it was still very well done and enjoyable. I am not normally a huge fan of Natalie Portman but she really looked the part. I might see it again on Thursday! I wanted to give it an 8 but OH said 7, so democratically we decided on 7.5/10.

Just come back from seeing 27 Dresses. Thought it was a really nice chick flick and DH really enjoyed it too:T A very easy to watch feel good film. I would give it 7.5/10. James Marsden is very handsome in a rough kind of way:cool:

Me neither

hurm a lack of codes recently even if there are some screenings ahead
all thats getting posted there now is offered spare tickets - if only there were a place for them alone, so that the codes thread would be less invaded...

I wish people would understand that if a code is posted it will benefit hundreds of people all over the country (or all over London), but if someone has tickets to give away, it will only benefit one ore two people - everyone else will have logged into the Codes Thread for nothing. It's a lovely gesture but I think it needs to be made here in the discussion thread (or on the Free Movies UK board of course

There was a 27 Dresses screening today somewhere? I must have missed that, I thought the main dates for that are tomorrow, Wednesday at on 11 March!?

:A Back from TOBG, very good film perhaps at times editing loses tempo and it gets just a wee slow but nothing that would make the rythm collapse. Excellent acting, Natalie Portman eats the biscuit, even Eric Bana by far what I consider an actor without iniciative, trusts the character and at time lets his hair down.
I have to confess my favorite actor of all times, Mark Rylance does not give more that it should but maybe because he is such a master he self-restrains so much. Costumes beauty galore. Excellent.9/10.:T :T :T :A
Tomorrow 27 Dresses....

Just back from TOBG at Odeon Leeds-Bradford, which was very full. The manager came in to count the empty seats about 5 minutes before the start, when there were quite a few seats left. I guess word had got round about overbooking.

Some people came in so late, and then wanted others to move seats so they could sit together.... Grr..

Anyway, I quite liked the film, but I thought it a bit slow. I kept trying to remember what was in "Anne of 1000 days", which I saw ages ago. (Anyone remember whether these match up?)

I didn't think some of the casting was right (though IMHO Kristin Scott-Thomas and Eric Bana were very good).

So, only a 7 from me.
