I have to say, I highly recommend going to the cinema on a Sunday morning (unless, of course, you spend your Sunday mornings in other ways), since it seems to be as close to having a personal cinema as most of us are ever going to get. I can't recall the last Sunday morning screening I've been to where there were more than about five people - today's total was three, including me.

So, Fearless. If it's true, as it seems to be, that this movie is likely to be Jet Li's last old school movie, then what a movie to go out with. I can't wait to get the dvd. :)

Meanwhile, I feel I must mention a couple of the trailers they showed this morning - alas, nothing for the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie, which was disappointing - but what we did get raised two distinct muffled laughs from me in the following areas:

Guys, if you're going to get Colin Farrell all rumpled and unshaven and make a movie about cops in Miami, you really might want to reconsider actually calling it Miami Vice because that takes the edge off the whole 'we are hardcore' thing more than a little.

Snakes on a Plane - boy, that movie looks bad enough to be shown on the Sci Fi Channel on a regular basis.

We get two showings before school's out - one late morning and one early afternoon, while tickets before 6pm are about £1.50 cheaper. We also have cheap Tuesday, which has the lower ticket price all day, regardless of the time.

But regardless of this I don't get to the cinema all that often, since dvd rental still works out much cheaper and there's now so little lag between big screen release and dvd release, not to mention the lack of embarrassment factor for seeing all kinds of crap in the privacy of my own home! ;)
