Cinema Zuid is wonderfully non-commercial. It brings classic movies, hip movies,…read moreall-kinds-of-movies to 't Zuid for about 5€ a viewing. There aren't any snacks like the bad popcorn or ice cream at other movie theaters but it does have an appreciative audience. Definitely worth keeping the cinemazuid website as a bookmark to see what's playing.

Went to see Ferrari tonight and left 25min into the movie. The film was so bad I couldn't bear to…read morewatch another second of it. I went to reception to see about getting a refund or at least a credit to come back another day to see a different movie. The manager told the staff that I could not receive a refund because it was past the 15 min mark. I don't know if it actually was after the 15min mark because the movie did not start playing at the scheduled ticket time. The manager had also told the staff that I could only exchange my ticket for another movie the same day or tomorrow. The only other movie I was interested in seeing didn't start for another 2 hours. The hotel I'm staying at is in Brussels so I asked if I could book a ticket at the Kinepolis closer to me and they said no it had to be the one in Antwerp which doesn't make any sense to me. I was so over the whole situation that I just left. Bummed to have had this experience because I do like Kinopolis theaters. They are clean and the quality of the image and sound are really good. The staff is polite too. If Kinopolis is reading this, I encourage you to change your policies so that they can be a little bit more flexible. In the meantime, I will choosing to go to other movie theaters.

I am a diehard UGC fan, but sometimes I venture just outside the city to the Kinepolis…read more The cinema is much bigger, which also means much more crowded - you even have to reserve seats! I hate seeing movies with a lot of people (I normally see movies after they've been in the cinema at least 2 weeks). But because it's a huge megaplex, they offer Lazer Ultra 3D. For some movies, it's worth the higher price and travel for the experience. Lazer Ultra 3D means a sharper picture and larger screen. Some movies are worth it!

Tonight i was standing in - one of the remarkable gems in Antwerp - De Roma; a delicately restored…read moremovie palace from the 1920s. A historic and intimate venue, situated just outside the heart of the city and only a 11 minutes tram ride away from Antwerpen - Centraal railway station (tram 10 Wijnegem and 24 Silsburg, get off at "De Roma", +/- 1.8 km). After a 20-year(!) closure, it rose like a phoenix from the ashes with renewed beauty. In 2003 De Roma reopened after extensive renovation. Today it has been reclaimed as a venue for live music, as well as for movies, comedy and theatre. And maybe one day De Roma will be able to retake its place as one of the crown jewels of the entertainment venues. No doubt, even the stars will shine brighter after a full renovation. FYI: The Turnhoutsebaan in Borgerhout is notorious for being a "bad neighbourhood". Whether the neighbourhood deserves the bad rep or not, it's not up to me to say. But if u want to grab a drink after the concert, i do recommend u to go back to the Keyserlei.
