I am very interested in the media and films are my passion. I really enjoy the different genres of film: I love to cuddle up and watch a classic, girly, romcom like Pretty Woman; but then I like the twisted and gruesome work of Quentin Tarintino for example, the stunning Pulp Fiction; I also enjoy a good cry to something like The Notebook and I enjoy some foreign cinema as the imaginitve storylines along with the captivating graphics take you into another world, like in the film Pan's Labyrinth.

The cinema was built on the site of Green's Playhouse, and opened as the UGC Cinema in September 2001. In 2005, it became part of the Cineworld chain when the owners of UGC of France sold all of its UK cinemas which were then re-branded. Green's Playhouse the original cinema on the site also held a record, for being Europe's largest cinema in terms of number of seats which are 4,368. It was also entered into the Guiness Book of Records by being over 200ft high, and it is now known that Cineworld Glasgow is the world's tallest cinema. In 2000 however, during the cinema's construction, the building design came under heavy criticism from the architecture community. The building was designated the "Carbuncle of the Year" for its poor design choices and contrast with the surrounding area.
This is a little introduction as to what the cinema I go to is like and why it is so popular.
