Film club



This Saturday afternoon my Wife and I decided to go to the cinema for a change! This decision was largely prompted by the opening of a new cinema in our town run by a company called "Everyman". Their USP's are that their venues are kind of like restaurant/bar/pub's that also show films, the individual screens are quite small (about 100 people) and all the seats are like sofa's. You can choose a one, two or three seater, ideal for small groups and couples, they even supply cushions and blankets if you want them. The other thing is that they serve proper drinks in proper glassware (not crappy plastic cups) and bring said beverages along with proper food (burgers/pizza/pasta etc.) to your seat (i.e. waiter service) they even serve decent craft beer! We both really enjoyed it and thought what luck to get one of these places withing walking distance of our house! The film was pretty decent too, we watched 1917 the WW1 epic directed by Sam Mendes, a roller-coaster of a movie telling the story of a mission across no-mans-land to deliver a time-critical message that will potentially avert a massacre, edge of the seat stuff! If you get a chance go see it! We enjoyed ourselves so much that we may just make this a regular Saturday afternoon thing, beats shopping any day of the week!
