Body of Lies Review - Body of boredom more like…

By Hunter • Nov 24th, 2008 • Category: Movie Reviews

Ok so I am a moderate fan of Ridley Scott films. I loved Black Hawk Down and Kingdom of Heaven (i’m a sucker for a good action film!), I quite liked American Gangster but I didn’t come away from the cinema thinking “WOW what a great film I must go and see that again”. This [...]

Cinema Survey

By Hunter • Nov 17th, 2008 • Category: Features

I tend to go to the Cinema at least three times a month (depending on what films are on) and I am amazed at what my local Cinema charges for their meager service. For example, one ticket in a ‘Premier Seat’ costs £8.50! The cinema in question is an old one with very old seats. [...]
