Try the Odeon in Stoke, it's worth going once just for the experience of watching a movie from within a zoo. I think some of the inhabitants don't remember they're not in their living rooms.

I can even stomach a musical at the thteatre because i enjoy the experience so much whereas my idea of hell would probably be having to sit through Mamma Mia at the cinema.
Best theatre experience was back in the 70s when my mother hired out a box for us at the Theatre Royal, Bath to see Dracula

I enjoyed avatar, but haven't seen any of the other oscar nominated offerings this year.
I have Up in the Air & The Hurt Locker on my lovefilm queue - hopefully they will arrive soonish...

I don't enjoy the cinema that much to be honest - if the film's a turkey I can at least hit the off button when it's on TV but at the cinema I feel I have to suffer to the bitter end as I've paid a mint to get in and trekked miles across the countryside to get there in the first place.
Last film I saw was The Day After Tomorrow which I thought was diabolical. Last really good film I saw at the flicks was Gladiator.

I'd give Kate Winslet one. An Oscar that is.
Her mouth is somehow alluringly wrong.

Hurt Locker is a good movie, but not an Oscar material - maybe Avatar also isn't but it is certainly the best movie for me in 2009.
