The Blind Side
Re: The Blind Side
Well i booked 2 and there's still more than X number left (as they state if there's like 3 or less usually), so either a lot of cancellations or few more released. And I checked all these cinemas couple of days ago, none had left any.
I agree that Croydon, Bromley or Romford may not be London cinemas but as I live in East London, I am very happy to get Romford tickets. BTW a train from stratford to romford is probably just abound 15mins...

Re: The Blind Side
I am looking forward to this one (even if it is about American Football!) - especially as previews have been thin on the ground so far this year. The Sky website has stopped hating me - finally managed to get some tickets. :-)

Re: The Blind Side
A real tear-jerker this one for me. I dont go for relationship nonsense but always end up blubbing for almost anything with disadvantaged people/groups in it. Strangely, as a sports lover i hate films with sport in them but this is actually a great film and the section where the american football takes over gave me chance to re-compose myself before the final emotional onslaught. Enjoyed it far more than Invictus which had terrible rugby scenes in it but a great human side. Great performance from Sandra Bullock (her best by far in my opinion).

Re: The Blind Side
I've seen this film now and its much, much better than I expected. I really enjoyed it and Sandra bullock was an eye-opener for me as I've never considered her much of an actress. I thought her winning a Golden Globe must have been some sort of a fix but she is superb in this film. Also the the character of the little boy SJ was really funny.

Re: The Blind Side
Was the Apollo overbooked or what? And I happen to know not everyone used their ticket, and some went alone on a ticket for two! Every last seat in the house was occupied, and once again I must stress: If you want a seat in a popular film, leave the popcorn and coke b*ying till after you have found one! The film started only 5 minutes late though after everyone who hadn't found a seat was asked to leave - I hope there were no Fmukkers among them and I hope they got some kind of goodwill compensation! Got a short but annoying speech by someone who asked people to leave comments after the film in exchange for a glass of wine - why do they always annoy you by saying "there is no free lunch and no free screening" - erm, yes there is?
Anyway, there was a nice little group of us in the second row from the back, and we all seemed to enjoy it. To be fair, it was a bit too American for me to give it the highest mark (I doubt that a lot of Europeans either know or care much about American football), but the story was good, there were some cracking oneliners in it and Sandra Bullock was enjoyably feisty. Oscar-worthy however she isn't, sorry.
Thanks to andre6ft2 for the extra ticket, my colleague was ecstatic about having seen it.

8/10
