Are you a regular cinema goer? we only go about four times a year these days, but usually enjoy it so should go more.
What did you go and see last?We saw the latest Bond film ( Dh's choice.)

The Bubs and I went to see The Jungle Book last night , fabulous cinematography if you still call it that ? Clever, clever stuff . I didn't fall asleep - it had me leaping out of my seat and squawking . Strangely enough , the kids weren't impressed with it all . Good night out though .

Saw Eye in the Sky last night - gripping stuff. Good exploration of a moral dilemma in a time of conflict - with both sides explored but no conclusion reached. Good ensemble cast, and Helen Mirren & Alan Rickman both excellent, as ever

We saw two in a week a while ago - unheard of for me, but I really wanted to see them both, and both were brilliant. And now I can't even remember the titles!!

One was about the exposing of child abuse in the Catholic Church in Boston.

The other was about the only bloke who apparently saw the financial crisis of 2007/8 coming, and bet millions on it, while the likes of Goldman Sachs took his money but thought he was crazy and laughed behind his back. The actor who played the leading role was superb.

James Bond. Great beginning but I felt a bit of the same. How he survives these fights. Miracle man

The Lady in the Van on Tuesday night at the Village Hall film club. £4 includes tea and biscuits.
A few weeks ago a gang of us went to see Dad's Army. DH is in a wheelbarrow display group called the Arrowbarrows and they went in their flying suits etc. I'm only a 'hanger on' but I dressed up as well as Mrs Pike. It was fun and the other people at the cinema enjoyed seeing us all.

Going to see Eye in the Sky this afternoon.
It sounds just the sort of dilemma I would be interested in.

I really fancy that dj

I enjoyed Bridge of Spy's to. I think Mark Rylance is brilliant.

Toy Story 1. It was dreadful. The DVD seems better.

Eddie the Eagle, last week. It was excellent.

DH and I took the 3 grandchildren to see the new Jungle Book on Friday night. We all thoroughly enjoyed it . Quite an expensive treat when you take into account drinks and popcorn .

Eye in the Sky last night. Wholly endorse trish 's comments.
Last week was Zootropolis with 7 yr-old GS. Very impressed and we both loved it on 2 very different levels. Prompted lots of discussion.

Saw the Eye in the Sky movie last week, with Helen Mirren. It unearthed a lot of questions about terrorism. We usually go once a week, unless there''s nothing particular we want to see.

We also go to the live links to the National Theatre and Royal Opera House events. Wonderful experiences and ones we wouldn't normally be able to see as they would be too expensive and entail a long journey.

If you get a chance to see the new Giselle ballet from the ROH, go, it's absolutely beautiful.

Criminal ☺ great movie

GrandmasueUK Sun 24-Apr-16 09:42:25

Zootopia, which was quite funny. We were the only adults unaccompanied by children. There were about 30 people in a 450 seater cinema, which is our cinema of choice. We go there regularly for the pleasure of uninterrupted viewing.

Lady in the Van, Warhorse and Philomena. I never realised there were senior screenings but am off to investigate.

Nannyjane Sun 24-Apr-16 09:50:02

I went to see goosbumps with 2 of the grandchildren but it's so expensive

ajanela Sun 24-Apr-16 09:50:17

Like many people The Lady with a Van. Then I went to see an Alan Bennett play at a packed Salisbury playhouse. For those that don't know, Lady with a Van was written by Alan Bennett and based on the true story of him and the lady who lived in a van in his drive for 15 years. The lady next to me had seen the film 3 times.

Try to see many but the Cineworld at Feltham - our local, hardly gets the decent films because they are obsessed with Bollywood and children's films which is quite disappointing as they are an "unlimited' cinema chain and I feel a bit short changed and would have to go an hour away to Aldershot to have a good choice!
