My Cineworld Unlimited thread
on: June 19, 2011, 20:32:18 PM
Now I've got this cineworld unlimited pass for at least 12months I'm going to be watching loads of films, a lot of them crap just for the sake of it probably.

Instead of making a new thread for every film which could get annoying I'll just up date this thread.


Went to see Bad Teacher yesterday and was quite surprised that is was pretty funny and I enjoyed it. I was especially shocked that Justin Timberland can actually act.

Going to go and see The Green Lantern tonight, not really looking forward to it as, I'm not a big comic fan apart from the main ones that have already be done and they have managed to make the trailer look boring so god knows what the film will be like.

I too have the Cineworld Unlimited card, it means that you don't mind if the film you end up watching is not as good as you expected.  I saw Green Lantern on Friday and thoroughly enjoyed it, on the flip side I watched Bad Teacher tonight and thought it was utter rubbish.  Perhaps it's because I went into Green Lantern expecting nothing from it, whereas I expected Bad Teacher to live up to the funny trailers.  It seems that all the funny bits in Bad Teacher had been crammed into the trailers.

Oh well, some good films on their way.

don;t have one... but my brother does...

not sure if it's all of them.... but at our local ciniworld you swipe your unlimited card when you're buying ice cream/sweets/food/drinks and get 30% off !

(which is great for me because I'm a greedy basterd!)

Green Lantern was ok, good bit of action and decent story, but it felt rushed and cobbled together a little bit to me.

Going to go and see Senna tonight, been looking forward to when cineworld were allowed to show it for ages.

I'll have to check about the money off snacks as I am eating a dangerous amount of popcorn since I got this unlimited card and it costs a fortune, but it feels wrong sitting down in the cinema without it.

I normally go with my brother... cinima is only 5 min away from us so it's a handy last min thing to do... we can leave home after the film is suposed to have started... and still get there before the trailers have finished :-)

he goes and gets the tickets while i go get the food... and he catches up with me before I've paid so i can use his card for the discount...
(there's no queue for tickets when it's late)

I think I'm getting the short end of the deal tho... he buys me a cinema ticket... I pay for large popcorn, 2 large drinks, 2 ice creams, 2 large hot dogs and sometimes a big of mistrals....  :s

Learn to do without the popcorn, eating in the cinema is bloody annoying. Admittedly popcorn isn't too bad but hot dogs/nachos/burgers/rustling sweets are infuriating. I can't fathom why people can't sit for a couple of hours without having something to chew on.

Senna was amazing, it is a shame tonight was the only showing as I would watch it again. So perfectly put together and tells an amazing story that I am gutted I was to young to appreciate when it was happening, I was fighting not to blub at end as well. Its getting a 10/10 on imdb from me.

Watched Bridesmaids tonight at the request of the wife.

After watching the trailer and seeing that it is 125mins long, I was not looking forward to it at all.
I have to be honest though, it wasn't half bad a few decent laughs and watchable storyline with decent characters, so as fa as chick'flicks go not bad at all.

Having serious popcorn overdose though, that is the 4th large popcorn since Saturday, I'm sure when I was on the treadmill in the gym I could smell popcorn in my sweat.  :o need to give it a rest for a bit.

watched Transformers tonight, I was pretty disapointed to be honest. The story didnt make much sense and the action sequences felt clumsy and random.

Not really a spoiler but just incase
(click to show/hide)

It was a really strange atmosphere in the cinema aswell, alot of french and japanese exchange students I think, they where clapping and cheering throughout the film and laughing out loud (really loud) at the little one liners and come backs etc.

That can ruin a film imo, no matter how good it is if something like that is going on I'll leave in a bad mood which will spill over to my opinion of the film ;) Not saying that Transformers isn't what we hoped it would be, haven't seen it yet but should be going at the weekend.

I remember seeing District 9 at the cinema, people were laughing at horrendously inappropriate moments. The whole point of the story seemed to fly completely over their heads.

Had that with 127 hours, i figured people were feeling uneasy and were laughing at anything potentially funny to ease tension. Think the film is best watched on your own in the quiet/dark.

If people were allowed to smoke, there would be a lot less popcorn eating.

I did that at a certain scene in Silent Hill.
