    Chapter isn't just a cinema, its a centre for arts of all kinds in Cardiff. It has quirky art…read moredisplays, great theatre and dance performances, comedy nights and hosts lectures and debates, not to mention scrabble Sunday. I wish there were more places like this in Cardiff, places that work with community and offer up something less mainstream that provides the arts scene in city a really good base. Defiantly think its worth checking out their brochure and find out whats going on, and get down there and support the place.

    Chapter Art Centre, as a single entity, offers one of the most comprehensive programme of events to…read morebe seen outside of London. Comprised of a cinema, gallery, theatre, café-bar, dance studios, workshop spaces and bookshop, it is, quite literally, an all singing, all dancing, creative hub. It also happens to be one of my most loved havens in Cardiff. I spent the best part of Monday there, (which wasn't my intention... it's just a very difficult place to leave!) I regularly ensconce myself in the newly refurbed café, lunching out whilst taking advantage of the extremely quick wifi they provide. These days there are plenty of sockets so that everyone who wants to can plug-in, (in the bad old days I have had to queue to get to a socket when I ran out of juice... there just weren't enough to go round). The facilities have improved across the board since vast sums of money have been spent modernising the space. There are two schools of thought regarding the refurbishments, with the old guard firmly protesting the changes, and people like me, who think that it has lost nothing of its charm, and are grateful for the improvements that have been made. I guess not everyone appreciates change. Oh well, done now!

    Booked tickets to see Avatar in 4DX at the Cardiff cinema today. Upon arriving and taking my seat I…read morefound that it was absolutely soaking and I couldn't sit in it. When I spoke to the manager I was told it wasn't the cinema's fault that the seat was wet and my only option was to wait for a later showing or get a refund. I would have been OK with just receiving the refund if the manager wasn't so confrontational about how Ciniworld were not a fault and it was somehow my fault for booking a seat in advance. So lesson is don't expect to get a prebooked seat and as such i would book somewhere else.

    The Cineworld cinema in Cardiff has the unusual distinction of being one of the marks of the…read morelandscape. You see, it's an owl. I don't mean a literal owl. I mean the architect, for some unfathomable, no doubt drug-fueled reason, saw he had to design a building for a cinema and said to himself "What best represents the cinematic experience? I know! AN OWL! With a beak! AND EYEBROWS! I'm a genius. Where's the vodka gone?" Dubious structural design aside, the Cineworld is the middle-child in the Cardiff cinema trifecta. Not as vast and all-encompassing as the Odeon down the Bay, and not as scummy and as chav infested as Vue next to the Stadium, Cineworld is instead, just a cinema. The venue of the unassuming cinephile. The Odeon is where you go if you are treating yourself to an IMAX screening, and the Vue is normally the place to go if you've just stabbed someone for a fiver and need an alibi and a place to lay low for a bit, but the Cineworld is the place to go to just watch a movie. With its twelve screens and large auditoriums, the complex is in no way small, and competes with the more expensive Odeon on everything apart from the iMax experience. It also provides monthly viewings of classic films where the true cinephiles come out. It's one hell of an experience to watch Withnail and I on the big screen, you and all your friends (and everyone else, for that matter) surreptitiously sipping on sneaked-in wine you brought just for the event, and I heartily recommend it should you be given the chance. (Note: Yelp does not condone sneaking wine in cinemas. It is a naughty and potentially awesome thing to do in the right circumstances and should not be attempted by anyone.)

    Frome is very lucky to have it's own local cinema, when many comparative-sized towns for miles…read morearound do not have that luxury. The small and rather old-fashioned Westway Cinema stands in the same street as (now demolished) The Gaumont, the main cinema from the sixties era in this town. The films are usually pretty much up to the minute - even if not quite as fast as the bigger towns - well, we have a quieter pace of life around here! As for facilities, it's situated built into the Westway shopping precinct and just a few footsteps away from the central car park. There's showings every day, often twice a day, and as mentioned the titles are always popular, recently released films. Up the steep stairs (ask in advance about wheelchair access) there is a small foyer with ticket sales, sweet and soft drink sales - and a small bar. Yes, here you can sip a pint or two as you watch the action unfold on the screen. In homage to the olden days of cinema a small ice-cream kiosk opens between the adverts and the main feature for last-minute stock-up of drinks and nibbles. With concessions for children and OAPs and a perfectly pleasant and comfortable setting, this saves a small fortune (especially for families) on travelling to the more pricey cinemas in Bath. Well worth supporting your local cinema!

    This is a small village cinema that has bags of character. It is very unlike the modern cinemas…read morethat we are used to today, but that is part of its charm. Three screens are available and often films are shown that have been and gone at the larger ones. It is one of the few remaining cinemas in the country that you are able to have a pint of beer in. How marvellous is that?!
