Little Cinema Halloween Special

November 1, 2012 
Hello Everyone,

We wanted to give a huge thank you to all of the submitters for the
Halloween special, all of the people who came along, and all of the
businesses who helped us out with prizes for the night.  We showed
some fantastic films and gave away some great prizes, and there were
some brilliant fancy dress costumes!

We had a prize for the best film, decided upon by impartial judges,
and they chose the very worthy "The Walk Home" by Dave Thorpe as the
winner.  Congratulations to Dave, and to all of the submitters.  The
judges found the decision process extremely difficult because there
was such a high standard of films.

Also, congratulations to Keith White who came dressed as Frankenstein,
who won the award for best costume!

The Room – Spoons!!!

October 20, 2012

We had an amazing screening of ‘The Room’ last Tuesday! The crowd was amazing, the atmosphere was amazing and of course, the film was amazing!!!

When ‘The Room’ gets screened, audience interaction plays a huge part in the event, and at this screening, the audience out-did themselves! We had everything; a full rendition of Happy Birthday sang by the whole crowd to Johnny, a to and fro booing and cheering of Johnny and Mark as they played American football together, and of course the obligatory quote shouting by crowd! There were parts in the film where the audience were providing more laughs than the actual film was, which was brilliant.

If you haven’t seen ‘The Room’ in a group setting yet, believe us, it is a film experience like no other you will ever have! Keep an eye out for the next screening, you will NOT regret going along!
