Is the Cinema Experience going downhill? Reviews

I used to love going to the pictures when I was a kid. It was about £2.70 and a great way to spend a saturday afternoon. When I started university I took advantage of having an NUS card and visited every week catching all the latest films. A few years later and I fell pregnant and sitting in the cinema was too uncomfortable. I had my son and ...

Well in general the cinema experience really isn't what it used to be, personally i have not been to the cinema to watch a movie since the Simpson's movie (which I wasn't greatly impressed by I might add).

Then the cinemas owners changed, and become part of a privatized chain, and the prices went up, the ...

As a film buff, I felt I just had to suggest this topic for speakers corner!

It’s a form of sheer escapism which can be a very welcome way to pass a few hours when the world outside of that darkened room is ...
