Bagpuss Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Well, the topic title says it all really......... The cinema at Teesside Retail Park is good, or I'm happy to travel up to Newcastle or similar area if that'd be easier. And no, it doesn't HAVE to be Sweeney Todd, honest Quite fancy PS I Love You, and I know DH won't want to see it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Oh, that's great Looby There is a major plus for choosing Teesside.......it has a life size cut out of Mr JD, as Sweeney Todd His eyes follow you, as you make your way to your particular screen, and it took all my will power, when I was last there with dd, not to snog his face off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brooke Report post Posted January 10, 2008 oooo i love teeside park although i dont think id want to drive there on my own, bit of a nervos driver!!!! Does it still have that casino dh won �600 there once Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Yes, the casino is still here Brooke.....ooh, you've just given me another idea for a night out If you'd like to come along to the piccies, but are worried about travelling, we can make up further up your way if you'd like? Think that'd probably be easier for Looby too. What about the Metro Centre cinema? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loobylou2 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Teesides only 15 mins from me. Not sure how far the metrocentre is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Sorry Looby, I'd always thought Durham was wayyyyyy up, near Newcastle...... I'm appalling arn't I? Brooke, I could meet you somewhere you feel comfortable with driving too, and you could follow me down? Or maybe someone could give you a lift if another member decides to come from your end?

David Matthew Baker Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Durham wise your correct though. It is about 30mins to Middlesbrough, 15mins to Boldon Colliery Cineworld, and 20mins to the Metrocentre. The Metros cinema is horrible though. I'm still not driving at the moment so wouldn't make it this time but might be interested in the future. Supprisingly ended up seeing PS I Love You at Boldon. The write ups sounded good. It is a bit heavy though and depressing. Perhaps not the best choice given what my lifes been like of late. Enchanted the new Disney film is a hoot that I recommend to anyone with children. Have fun all. When's the next Northen Meet then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Enchanted was good David. I took eldest dd to see it over the Xmas hols. Northern Meet Up........great! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
