March a quiet time for films?

#1 Post by findthestart » Wed Mar 30, 2011 11:57 pm

Is it just me or has there been not many free previews recently? Last film I saw was Limitless and I loved it since then nothing has come up - or maybe just not movies Im interested in seeing or is it just this time of year?

April might be even quieter with Easter and the Royal Wedding, they do less screenings when there are holidays

Lol I would expect them to be dishing out tickets to Thor and Captain America

I read somewhere that Momentum was distributing Fast Five
So maybe tickets for that !!!
Its a shame they do less screening because of holidays and the royal wedding, film previews are far more important ......... Maybe they can film it in 3D and show it at our locals for free !!!!

Yes, but not everyone lives in London like we do. We are in the fortunate position of getting more free screenings and more competitions for screenings.

But I think even for london, for strictly cinematic films, not some Sky shows or theatre, it's quiet
but some new ones should be coming up soon...

I was quiet but I had films Tuesday night, last night, would have tonight if I didn't have another committment, have one Sunday, Monday and next Tuesday. We'll see when Arthur is due to be screened, but I think April will be pretty busy. There will be at least that one set of screenings for Hop, right?
