Far From the Madding Crowd.

If you like period dramas then I highly recommend it. A great story, well told. Good acting, directing and cinematography.

I haven't read the book yet. Sometimes I read classic novels before watching the film and find the film disappointing because it has to leave out so much.

In my opinion not really. You get big armchair style recliners and free refills and from recollection that's about it.

Went to see Blade Runner: The Final Cut the other night. Class on the big screen but I think we have had enough cuts of this by now!

Any reviews out of Entourage?

Watched Spy last night and have to say I was pleasantly surprised.

Just a fun movie and not too taxing on the brain and plenty of laugh out loud moments. I'd give it a solid 7.5/10.

Just checked it there out of interest and don't seem to get refills. One free small drink and popcorn and complimentary free drinks for 13 or 15 quid a head.

Thanks T

Pitch Perfect 2 - wasn't as bad as I feared...
Some funny moments but too much Rebel Wilson.

Can't imagine Blade Runner being class on any screen.

Jurassic World. If you ignore the previous two films in this franchise then this is a decent addition and picks up after the original film.
Its loud, fun and in your face but its an enjoyable enough romp to entertain for couple hours. Predictable enough plot and you nearly know whats gonna happen around every corner but still doesn't detract from it being a decent film. Chris Pratt's star can only keep rising if he keeps starring in leading roles in these summer blockbusters. Alot of the appeal of the film probably comes down to him. A cert to be the next Indiana Jones too.

I think they are good tbf, you don't get the dickheads you might get in the normal cinema talking or using their phones. The big seats are class, though you could nearly fall asleep. I have never got the refills though, don't like leaving during the film.

Project Almanac is a good show for any time travel fans out there.

What about for those of us who have never time travelled before?
