Cineworld

Tonight is the night that I am going to try out the Glasgow, Renfrew Street, Cineworld experience.  Unlike all the other cinemas in Glasgow I have actually been to this one many times with my flatmates.  This cinema is based right in the centre - perhaps the perfect location - surrounded by shops, restaurants and near all three Glasgow universities. 

Before my visit to the cinema I thought that I would present some of the basic facts about Renfrew Street Cineworld...
- The cinema was first opened on the 21st of September 2001 by owners UGC, and it changed ownership to Cineworld in 2005.
- It is the tallest purpose built cinema in the world, with 6 floors and 12 stories.
- In 2003 the cinema attracted 1.8million people making it the busiest in the UK.
All these statistics look really impressive but as I have been there before I am going to try my hardest to keep an open mind.  I pass this cinema almost every day for one reason or another and to me it seems like a landmark in Glasgow - a proper tourist attraction.  I think that this is really successful as it entices people into cinema therefore increasing revenue for the cinema and the Glasgow Film scene.

Another thing that interests me about the venue is the fact that this cinema supports the Glasgow Film Festival glasgowfilm.org/festival (which I recommend you all check out!).

So far from looking at film times I have found the website (cineworld.co.uk/cinemas/28) to be quite easy and I am looking forward to going.  What I also found from the website is that cineworld is actually currently advertising showings for around 45 different Film Festival movies.  This shows Cineworlds support and involvement in developing the Glasgow Film Scene.

Tonight my friend wants to go see 3D Tangled...got to be honest not a huge Disney fanatic.  I really want to see NEDS or Gnomeo or Juliet but I guess I can save them for my next trip to a different cinema!  We are hoping to go to the 18.40 showing will keep you guys updated to how the whole experience goes.......
