    A very popular and vibrant cinema in Oxford. A student clientelle dominates with the occasional…read morelocal popping in for the latest arthouse film. This is the Ultimate Picture Palace for the residents of Jericho, but you could argue it's slightly better. Why? i) Better location ii) It has a bar (which also has a weekly quiz) iii) They also have events here - screening of student films, talks from famous actors etc. With the Phoenix and the UPP in Oxford, we are all very, very spoilt.

    The Phoenix Cinema is a great little gem - as 'local' a cinema as you'll find in Oxford. Yes, it's…read morein Jericho, but it's only a few minutes walk from town and it's a refreshing change from the sticky floors and Hollywood blockbusters of the Odeon. Prices are pretty typical, but the good value food and drink makes you feel you're getting a good deal: Full price £7.00 Members £5.50 Child £5.00 Concessions £6.00 Weekday performances before 5pm are about £1 less for the higher price range. You can see some of the normal films that are out in mainstream cinemas, if the Odeon's screening times are inconvenient or you fancy a smaller screen. Of course, the main attraction is the great range of foreign films (French films most Tuesdays), which are subtitled for non-linguists; period films, art films and independent documentaries. A word of warning: Don't assume that just because the films are obscure, you can rock up at the last minute and get in; films are often sold out and it's a good idea to book in advance if there aren't many showings. Finally: the best thing - check out the funky toilet seats and neon lighting. A great addition to the other-worldy experience!

    When I was a kid this was the Oxford Apollo. It was the first place I ever saw a concert. When I…read morewas 3 or 4 years old, I was a massive fan of Nik Kershaw - I still am, actually, he's one of my top 10, if not top 5. I dragged my mother to the concert. I was so tiny, they put me up on stage briefly. Good memories, although I mainly only recall it by looking at pictures. Hazy and foggy and just a little bit out of reach, buried in my subconscious. Over the years, I saw other bands here when I was older, such as a very memorable Erasure concert. But nothing will ever compare to being 3 or 4 years old, being picked up and put onstage because I was so tiny, watching my hero Nik Kershaw on stage when he was at the height of his popularity. It's a lovely theatre... it's changed a lot, but is still well worth the high ratings that it gets. And this is review #1983 that I have written.

    I went to see Stomp here and was looking forward to a bit of luxury compared to the more casual…read moreperformances of the Old Fire Station Theatre, Burton Taylor studio and various college theatres. It's certainly a cut above the rest, with ushers, several bars, a grand interior and a huge stage. However, it feels a little more like going to the cinema than a night out at the theatre. We joined a disorganised queue of people trying to get in, then dodged our way to our seats. There was no comfy reception area to chat in, and it was very croweded, so we went straight in. The ushers were helpful and our seats had a good view. They had binoculars in the stalls so it caters well for the short-sighted, although the stalls don't slop quite enough for the short-bodied to see over tall people in front. There was no interval, so I didn't sample the bars, but I've heard they're not fanastic. Still, I enjoyed the show and as the others have said, it really does have an amazing line-up every year. It gets big shows in at reasonable prices and is well worth going to.
