It's been completely refurbished and has reopened in December 2017 after being closed since 2013…read more It now has two screens, one of which has been designed to look exactly as it used to, with "the wee houses" left untouched and the ceiling has been painted as a sky with clouds. It also seats 190 people. The other screen has been designed to be more modern with blue and red strip lights on the walls and turquoise seats. It's much smaller than screen 1 as it only seats 50 people, but makes it much cosier to sit in. It's also open every day of the year (apart from Christmas Day) from about midday until about 9pm, showing films all day long. There's also a cafe now where you can purchase hot drinks such as lattes, cappuccinos, special hot chocolates (Nutella, Jaffa Cake, Oreo, Gingerbread and many more!) cold drinks such as bottles and cans of juice, iced coffees and also alcoholic beverages! There's a wide variety of snacks and baking, and of course, popcorn. There's also bagels to purchase between 12pm and 4pm, many different fillings like smoked salmon and cream cheese, ham and cheese, peanut butter and jelly. A lot of the food and alcoholic beverages are sourced locally, like the Kinryre Gin and Gigha ice cream. All food and drink that's sold in the Picture House can be taken into the auditoriums as well. There's also a nice timeline and heritage exhibition about the history of the building from right when it was built in 1913 to when it reopened in 2017.

This new Vue Cinema at the Fort is definitely substantially smaller than the one I'm used to in Hamilton, but I think I prefer it for this reason. Situated above 4 restaurants in the middle of a shopping centre, you'd think it would be absolutely chaotic, but it was relatively quiet the night we went, and that was for orange Wednesdays as well! The staff seemed pleasant and competent for a new opening, and I thoroughly like this wee cinema! I'm sure it'll get busier the more people notice that it's there, especially with the restaurants underneath!

If you are buying snacks here be aware that there is an Asda just a few minutes and you can buy your items there, some items nearly four times cheaper. A pack of M&M's where £3.95 and Asda was £1.00 that's s massive £2.95 of a difference. The cinema area was small but the seats where comfortable. I couldn't get a phone or wifi signal anywhere. I would come back to this cinema.

Love, love, love the Glasgow Film Theatre! I was here tonight seeing Les Mis as a wee birthday…read moretreat from my parents with Colin, the Parentals, and my next door neighbour Grace. I forgot to mention in my original review that there's a coffee shop on the ground floor and a bar on the second floor, both of which are cosy and lovely and sell all your traditional bar and cafe like goodies! I just love how traditional and original the GFT is; just walking towards if from the outside, it looks like a gorgeous 1930's New York cinema or theatre and that's what I love about it! They also do a loyalty card which I think I'm going to invest in!

I don't frequent the GFT as much as I used to since I became a proud owner of a Cineworld card & I…read morehadn't been for nearly a year when we decided to go last weekend. The reason we came here is for one of the main reasons why the GFT is so brilliant ~ it offers a variety of films you just couldn't see on the big screen anywhere else in Glasgow. We saw a documentary about a Riot Grrrl singer/band who I loved & adored from the '90's (it's called The Punk Singer & it really is brilliant) - not really mainstream cinema audience stuff! Since we last visited the GFT has had a wee revamp & also now has an addition of a 3rd screen downstairs. It is essentially where the cafe used to be & when we first walked in I was a bit baffled as to where the cafe had moved too. It is now upstairs and downstairs towards the back they now have a wee coffee & snacks kiosk with a couple of tables/seats where you can also sit & wait before your film starts. We ordered some snacks & a coffee and sat for about 10 minutes. In this time I think I managed about 3 sips of my flat white which was hotter than the sun! *ouch* It was, once cooled, a reasonably nice coffee (note: they don't serve any soya/non-diary milk) if a tad pricey. Luckily for us our film was being shown in the new screen (screen 3) and as soon as we entered I was in love! It has been done out beautifully & it has a really cosy almost 'home cinema' feel to it. It is quite a small screen with only 60 seats in total. The seats themselves were lovely, soft leather style seats which were so comfortable AND they had cup-holders! Yay! Something I always felt was lacking in the other screens. As soon as we sat down we were smiling. The temperature of the screen was also pleasant - I usually find Cineworld or other cinemas too chilly at times so to not have to sit huddled underneath my coat during the film was a bonus. I love that the GFT exists in Glasgow because it truly is unique in this great city. The mix of old, new, Arthouse, World & more mainstream films being shown on any one week goes to show the eclecticism of it's audience & how well it caters for the film buffs in & around Glasgow. They occasionally put on theme or more one-off evenings ~ I remember in the early 2000's coming here to see local bands introducing their favourite films, some bands even performing on the night & other events where some bands would play along live to a film as it was being screened. Brilliant. They have a Loyalty Card scheme where by you earn points for each visit & points = money off tickets. They also have a Cinecard which is £32 a year for money off & points. You can also get the Orange Wednesday deal and the Sunday Herald Film Club 2-for-1 offer as well. So a trip here may not work out as pricey as you might originally think. It's a beautiful building and is well worth a visit at least once in your lifetime. I am sad about the demise of the cafe downstairs as I always thought it was really cool but if losing that means gaining a new (lovely) screen then it was worth it.

Easy to get to by train, direct from Glasgow Central or express bus, from Buchanan Bus Station. It's just off the M8. The ticket prices aren't too friendly, especially at the weekend, but it's a decent enough cinema. They do 3d movies and decent food, which is overpriced as usual. Last time I was there some guy came in with a crazy video camera that flashed green to look around in the dark to see if anyone was recording the movie. It looked like a speedcamera and it was so creepy it completely took me out of the experience of watching the film, it was surreal. I was not impressed.

As with most cinemas these days, tickets are pretty expensive (£8.45 on the Saturday night we visited). We'd purchased our tickets beforehand, so didn't need to queue for our tickets on the night, but the ticket queue was pretty long and seemed to move slow due to the folks shelling out for huge buckets of popcorn and snacks. I clocked some of the prices (eh £3.35 for a big bag of Doritos and the same for chocolate!). I really don't know how these places get away with charging what they do. I was mildly tempted to have some Ben & Jerry's icecream but decided to stick with the snacks we'd smuggled in, and save myself a fiver! Whilst waiting outside our screening to enter the cinema, it was slightly off putting to hear the rumbling/ noises from other screens(one of which had the door open and was showing the end of the film we were about to see!) Our official showing time was 6.15 but we didn't get allowed into the screen till twenty past, which was slightly annoying. However, it did mean that they seemed to miss out the adverts at the beginning, which was good given we were in for a three hour movie (don't you wish they would give you a break in the middle :) ) I'm not sure if its the same for every movie but we had preassigned tickets and had opted for quite near the back in the middle. I think these days most cinemas are first come first served with seats, and personally I prefer this. The screen wasn't the biggest I've been in and think some of the Glasgow cinemas are probably better for this. That being said, this cinema is pretty handy for me, and is somewhere I'll visit (or be dragged to) depending on the movie!

The seats move with the movie, and water or mist will spray into your face, as the movie dictates (gun shots, water scenes, etc). They also have large fans that will generate a cool breeze during certain movie scenes, and smells are added as well (gun smoke). This is the King of all movie theaters! There's also a bar in the cinema. We were able to have a few cocktails while waiting for our movie. I learned after, that they also offer a VIP theater, where drinks and food are brought to you! As I stated, if you're in Glasgow, you MUST add this to your list!

The staff is friendly and I have never come across broken seating or sticky floors when visiting. Lots of space which is a big plus so you don't have to cram in next to another couple if you don't want to. Comfortable well maintained seats and the screen itself is in excellent shape. The concessions and the facilities have always been clean when I've gone in.

Gateway to the Galloway Hills Newton Stewart was founded in…read morethe 1650s by William Stewart, son of the 2nd Earl of Galloway. Originally named the 'new town' of Stewart, later compounded to Newton, this bustling and friendly town had royal charter from King Charles 11, giving permission for a market and an annual fair. A later incarnation as Newton Douglas, after a successful local industrialist, was short-lived. The town sits on the banks of the River Cree, famed for its salmon and other wildlife. The River Cree runs into Wigtown Bay, a spectacular nature reserve, known for its wildfowl; the vistas to the north are dominated by the Galloway Hills rolling up towards Ayrshire and the Galloway Forest Park (http://www.qype.com/place/209510-Galloway-Forest-Park-Newton-Stewart) (now designated a Dark Sky Park, one of only four in the world). There, you will find walks and rugged hikes to suit all abilities. Within the confines of the town, there is a wealth of living history, from the historic shop fronts to the 1930s Cinema (http://www.qype.com/place/198137-Newton-Stewart-Cinema-Newton-Stewart) , now a community-owned organisation, showing the latest films and live theatre, and the Newton Stewart Museum housed in the former St John's Church on York Road. The town has always been the market centre for the surrounding area, and its octagonal auction house (http://www.qype.com/place/2069812-Galloway-Dumfrie-Public-Auction-Newton-Stewart) still remains important for ram and cattle sales.

I was really looking forward to seeing one of my favourite musicals on the big screen, but it was extremely overshadowed by the thumping upstairs.

It was a Saturday afternoon and the place didn't look like it had been cleaned since the Friday late-night showing, there was a huge stain in the centre of the screen and I swear that the sound (contrary to Lucasfilm requirements) was not even in stereo, never mind THX surround. I was so disgusted that I wrote to the then-owners of the cinema AND Lucasfilm to complain. Never heard back from either of them. Yesterday I was attending a private screening of some dance films as part of the Cottier Chamber Project/West End Festival, and I'm glad to say it was a whole new experience. The cinema bore no resemblance to the one I remembered - what were these swanky new leather seats? Even the entrance was changed, they had room for a bar next to it, and you could even take your drinks into the cinema! How very civilised indeed. Because of the reconstruction, the screens are smaller than I remembered, but the layout is much improved so you no longer feel that you're looking sideways at the screen. It is definitely several orders of magnitude better than the old fleapit that it used to be. There were some presentation issues with the video formats not being properly set in advance so there were a couple of false starts with the films. It was a pretty informal occasion so it wasn't enough to spoil the afternoon; but for that reason I'm only giving it 3 stars this time around. I may revise that after a future visit.

I also don't get to Silverburn very often even though I live nearby because of two reasons - 1 the horrendous parking situation; and 2 all the people. So I really wanted to see The Martian as I loved the book so much, and this week is the last week they're showing it. We booked online and collected our tickets when we arrived although note that you can't scan an iPhone 6 Plus screen to collect them as the screen is too big. Ha. The cinema foyer is pretty small, just has a candy bar bit and a Starbucks and toilets but that's fine by me. The actual cinema we were in (6) was a wee one, with only about 10 rows of seats. It was great though as it was only about half full and everyone there was my kind of movie goer - silent and well behaved. There is loads of legroom and it was pretty damn comfy for a 2+ hour movie. It's about £9 each booking online which isn't too bad really. I'll definitely be back!
