Free Cinema Tickets - Discussion thread

Took 2 of my boys to see Bedtime Stories at Preston Odeon, it was only about 1/2 full & there were 2 bouncer-type guys on the door when we went in & then just before the film started one came & sat at the front & the other stayed at the back - I think they were checking to make sure no-one was recording the film!

The film was excellent, quite a few familiar faces, very funny & both my boys ( ages 14 & 6) enjoyed it too!

Went to see Bedtime Stories in Cardiff and i have to say it was thoroughly enjoyable, it was nice to hear all the kids and adults laughing hysterically and at the end the audience gave the film a round of applause. It was only about half full so we had a pick of all the good seats.

Right, I'll soon be gone for a short hols so I might not be able to deal with this, but let's kind of do Best of the Year among ourselselves:
Best Comedy
Best Romantic Comedy
Best Drama
Best Saga
Best Acting Comedy: female
male
Best Acting Tragedy/Drama: Female
Male
Best Photo
Best Screenplay
Best Direction
BEst Documentary

I'll try to start the ball rolling.... but help!

Comedy: Get Smart
Romantic Comedy: Dan in Real Life
Best Saga: Australia- the Gone With the Wind of 2008-
Best Drama: The Other Boleyn Girl
Best Drama Acting: Natalie Portman
Best Documentary: Man on Wire
Let's see if any other ideas come up...

Saw Bedtime Stories at Leicester, 2 security guards on the doors insisting mobiles to be turned off. very full, quite a few young kids - Film was very enjoyable, but not worth trying to video it on my mobile :D

Agree with Craftyman 1.
I saw film at Leicester - was as full as I have ever seen a free pre-view.
Film was ok, and seemed very popular with most of audience. Mine were a bit old for it really and had a pained expression as though I had dragged them to see Snow White or something. I thought that having Adam Sandler in would sway them, but although he made it acceptable to them, still too childish for their taste.
Quite a few funny scene where the whole audience was in whoops of laughter, the one that will stick with me was the dog being the Boogey Monster towards the end. Argh,:eek:
I know this may sound daft mariolionza, but I don't suppose you have a list of all the films that are included in this years list, ie which films were there preview tickets for this year, as I am struggling to remember - an age thing I am sure.
Or maybe Quoia has kept a list.
I may not be the only one who needs a gentle reminder.;)

Thanks - oh, and 6.5 out of 10 for Bedtime Stories - but still have tickets to Slumdog Millionaire which I have high hopes of :rolleyes:

I have just cancelled two tickets for Australia at Greenwich Picturehouse for tomorrow morning at 10.00 for a 10.30 start.

I saw Australia at FACT in Liverpool yesterday morning.
(The idiots didn't switch the sound on for the first 2-3mins of the film :mad: )
At the end we got a free glass of Jacob's Creek wine :T

That's freaky - cuz the same thing happened in Bath with the sound (or lack of it) BUT they put a chuffing intermission in the film and gave out the wine then.

I hate intermissions but at least there was some compensation with the free boooooze.
