A whole day in the world of the movies
As I’ve explained here, I’m an enormous enthusiast for the cinema. But it was only yesterday that I attended my first all-day movie event accompanied by my young film buddy Spence.
The event was the “Big Screen” organised by “Empire” magazine which I take monthly. The venue was the O2 which I’ve not been to since it was called the Millennium Dome and hosted the millennium exhibition in 2000.
We saw two full-length movies in terrific theatres (the venue has nine): the original “Conan The Barbarian” and the newly-released “Rise Of Planet Of The Apes”. We also attended an interview with rising British actor Dominic Cooper who spoke especially about his latest film “The Devil’s Double”.
Then there were the Imperial stormtroopers from the “Star Wars” series striding around and a full-scale version of the DeLorean car from “Back To The Future”. So, all in all, a really fun day.
