It's straight off the A66 and is near the railway station in the 'Middlesbrough Leisure Park'.

Here's a link to the Middlesbrough Cineworld page which has the address and postcode so you can use Google Maps to see exactly where it is:

Nah, too far for me to venture for the sake of a Cineworld Unlimited card!

Spielberg's The Terminal is a fantastic film. Both funny and moving, absolutely terrific.

As for JJ Abrams, he has yet to do anything better than Alias imo.

The British DVD title (Zombie Virus On Mulberry Street) is very misleading - this is an "infected" film rather than zombies. So far as I am concerned this is a big discovery.A superb, tense, excellently made arthouse horror films that has,like, a good script, and well drawn characters and superb handheld camerawork reminiscent of Abel Ferrara's "grit not gloss" films. Written down the premise is ridiculous (a rat borne virus turns victims into flesh-eating "rat people") buit it really, really works. And works extremely well. Besides, is the idea of corpses coming to life to eat flesh/drink blood any less absurd? There is some (very) dark humour and satire here, but it lurks beneath the visceral tension. It's a fantastic film and I genuinely feel like I've made a big discovery. That so much can be done with so little money (the film-makers had to rely upon guerrilla film-making and unpaid favours from friends and family to get it made apparently) is an abject lesson to all film-makers and to the obscene high budget crap that Hollywood's bowels regularly void.

If you wanna see another good After Dark flick check out The Hamiltons
its getting a sequel too, also Seconds Apart from this years AD was pretty good for a AD flick too/

I thought it worked well when it was just Tom Hanks with a 'foreign' accents living in the airport and the romance with Catherine Zeta-Jones just felt tacked on and unnecessary. Hanks is a better comedic actor than dramatic one as anyone who's seen Big and some of his early work (such as The Bachelor Party) would know.

When i said moving, i meant at the end of the film, his relationship as you say feels a bit tacked on.

For a small film though, it beats quite a few of Spielbergs huge blockbusters in my eyes.

I read about the real case on which this is based and it was fascinating stuff. The Terminal is, as you say, better than some of Spielberg's blockbusters such as War of the Worlds. I thought that was rubbish, came down to check the reviews and was amazed to find so many glowing comments and high marks. Thinking I must have missed something, I went back to watch it again and dozed off for a bit in the middle!

Just watched The House of the Devil.

I really enjoyed this, very slow for the most part although I didn't mind that. Just before the final scene I felt a bit cheated but then it ended brilliantly. It looked really authentic too, in terms of an 80's teenager-in-peril/satanism movie.

Agree completely. A great homage to the legendary 80s horrors.

Loved it.

It is very much about tension and atmosphere. Any reader wanting thrills and spills should look elsewhere.
