I gotta admit that the weekend films rocked compared to the weekday screenings which were more of a snoozefest. In my opinion the best movie nights were: 11th October Saturday, 12th October Sunday & finally 17th October Friday. I can honestly say that I enjoyed ALL of the films from last night’s screenings.
