CINEMA LISTINGS:BRISTOL

Ms. Humpleby recently set us homework to pick a city and find out what films are showing there. I chose Bristol, which is home to NINE cinemas, of which about 2 or 3 show independent and cult films.
The Cinema De Lux, based within the Cabot Circus shopping centre is currently showing:
  • Alvin and The Chipmunks 2: The Squeakuel
  • An Education
  • Astro Boy
  • Avatar
  • Avatar 3D
  • Book of Eli 1
  • Edge of Darkness
  • Invictus
  • Last Station
  • Lovely Bones
  • My Name Is Khan 12A
  • Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
  • Ponyo (Gake no ue no Ponyo)
  • Precious
  • Princess and the Frog
  • Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll
  • Sherlock Holmes
  • Single Man
  • Up in the Air
  • Valentine’s Day
  • Wolfman
  • Youth in Revolt
So, all in all, quite a few films, 23 to be precise. I decided to look at listings from an alternative cinema aswell - which I imagine will be showing a lot less films. I looked at listings from the Watershed House - which has been reviewed as 'an independent cinema that shows film that are harder to find'
 Here are the films they are showing over the next week:


  • A Single Man
  • Ponyo
  • Food, Inc
  • The Last Station
  • Micmacs
  • Capitalism: A Love Story
  • El Mariachi
  • Decalogue 2000: Dancer in the Dark
As you can see, the Watershed cinema is showing only 8 films, compared to the Cinema De Lux's 23. However, the Watershed are showing a broader range of films, including films from the oast, and subtitled films.
