I used to be an Odeon Limitless member but the cost of kids tickets made it too expensive to go regularly with my kids. We now go to the Vue at OT and have never had any issues with other customers. The Odeon Wester Hailes used to be a great cinema but latterly had issues with others ruining the experience. When I mentioned it to staff during one film they showed no interest.

If only one, if I was flush I would get them something but the prices are ridiculous. Precovid WH had a great team of staff who were knowledgeable about the films and would take time to chat and were great with the kids. I stopped going in December 2022 due to a number of issues and the pricing was crazy. Some of the kids prices were up to £12 a seat. The three of us can get into the Vue for what I was paying for the two kids. Never had any issues outside the cinema - either in the car park or in any of the shops.

Group of young ones attack the cinema every once in a while according to staff. One night they had to exit through the side door as they were in the car park attacking the front doors, teenagers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I went to see the A24 4K restoration of Stop Making Sense tonight, nearly 40 years after seeing the original. It is one of the greatest concert films every made, if not the greatest. Talking Heads (and supporting musicians) are superb, and David Byrne's performance is remarkable.

As someone who used to tour with bands and is still involved in technical matters the concept and execution of the concert is superbly done. Even simple things like crew onstage holding lights and moving around the band making the shadows on the back wall are superbly simple.

Shanks said no Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The Zone of Interest 8/10 Well that was some film. Its actually really difficult to summarise it. Its set almost entirely in the house and garden of Rudolf Höss's home adjacent to Auschwitz concentration camp. You don't see any of the horror on the other side of the garden wall but you hear it and there is a feeling of terror running through the whole film. We visited Auschwitz–Birkenau last month and the guide pointed out the house (its privately owned by a Polish family). For us this made the film even more shocking as we had been on the other side of the wall.

GinRummy Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Bob Marley : One Love. I’ve always liked Bob Marley so enjoyed the film and the music but I’d have liked some more detail. His affairs and the 6 children he had with other women maybe mentioned once. Noticed in the credits that Rita was involved in producing the film so that’ll be why. Next to nothing on the actual guy who shot him and a bit vague on the reasons why. No real detail about Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh leaving the group. 7/10 a biographical film that misses out significant parts of his life. Could have been so much better. Odeon Newcraighall was absolutely roasting. Must’ve been something up with the heating. The heat was making me want to fall asleep 😴 Edited February 25 by GinRummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 “ The zone of interest “ startling and thought provoking film about a camp commandant of Auschwitz and his family who live next door to the concentration camp . Stark contrast to their day to day humdrum lives to the horrors happening next door . The viewer doesn’t see anything but we can hear the shouting , screaming , despair and gun shots . There is also a humming noise all the way through it ( gas chambers burning I assume ) . A really brave approach to highlighting the horrors of that time . The performances are brilliant . Esp the lead actor and Sandra Briull who plays his wife . Watching it you can kid yourself it’s a history lesson but then sit passively watching the nightly horror news re Gaza . It’s the same .
