I finally popped my Prince Charles cherry and went to see 'The Room' last Friday night. I can see…read moremyself falling in love with this place. The Prince Charles is well known for it's collection of indie movies, while it shows some new releases, they're normally the more unusual choices over the big block busters shown around the corner on the Square. It's true draw, however, comes from their cult movie nights. For example, 'The Room', where else could you see that in London, let alone be allowed to throw spoons at the screen? They also have double bills, marathon screenings and sing-a-long-a movies! I can't wait to see Rocky Horror at Halloween! And they serve beer! Some of the marathons appartently do a beer & pizza night, but I haven't experienced that yet... It was only my first time but I'll be sure to update you when I've been a few more times.

The Prince Charles Cinema scores 5 stars several times over for its old-school big screen, inspired…read moreevents, fantastic listings and general sense of film-loving fun. Sink back into one of the super-comfy seats facing their big screen and it's like stepping back into a golden age of cinema. The rows of seats slant up towards the screen rather than down towards it. This means the screen towers above you, and, looking along the tops of the seats towards the screen as you do, makes it a feel like more of a communal experience. The second screen is more modest, but given a hint of fun and class by the stars-at-night lighting on the ceiling and the Frank Sinatra soundtrack playing before the film starts. The films shown are those at the end of their run elsewhere in London, but also older classics and cinema curiosities too such as 'so-terrible-it's-a-cult-film' Birdemic. Prices are reasonably cheap, particularly if you buy the £10 annual membership: unlike the other independent cinemas in London (Curzon, Cine Lumiere, ICA, BFI) whose discount-securing membership schemes are seemingly calculated to pay off only after seeing 20 odd films, the £2.50-£4 discounts earned by £10 Prince Charles cinema membership means that membership pays off almost immediately. Kudos. It also hosts plenty of events for the more dedicated film lover: midnight-crossing triple and quadruple bills (often trilogies or quadrilogies), singalongs and even quote-a-longs, in turn giving you a glimpse into the sub-culture of film fandom. With its old-school feel, honest pricing and fun celebration of all aspects of cinema, it almost doesn't come as a surprise that directing legends of independent cinema Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith and Nicolas Winding Refn have gone out of their way to support the Prince Charles' existence and urge cinema fans to do likewise. I was lucky enough to catch a memorable post-'Red State' Q&A there with Kevin Smith and his passion, humour, hilarious story-telling and honesty were all there to see. Cinema or no cinema, this is one of London's gems in its own right.

The seats in the theater we were in were terribly uncomfortable. I couldn't get comfy the entire time. The AC was so high that I kept getting too cold. And the space we were in was a sham of a theater. When I pay for a movie in a theater I want to see it on the big screen. This screen was not big at all and I felt a little annoyed by it. Fair enough that the movie release wasn't big enough to be worthy of a bigger theater but the screen at the very least should be big enough that I feel like I'm at a movie. Anyway. I'd go back. Seems like they have a 4D theater which could be fun.

One of the oldest and first cinema's to show film in London. I actually went to see a double bill of Hitchock. They seem to have a few good arthouse or classic double bills which breaks the mould. Lovely seats and setting. Screen not huge so anywhere from rows 3-10 I reckon are best. Don't go too far back if eyesight is not good. Because of the grand exterior and interior it gets a high mark. Coffee nothing to shout about but saw people getting wine but must say they need more seats around foyer as no where to sit behind 15 people I reckon. That they can improve on.

Before the days of TV, the cinema would show newsreels during World War Two, bringing news to Londoners whose loved ones were away fighting in the war. Owned by the University of Westminster, right next to the university near Oxford Circus. A 119 year old building, it was used by the university as lectures hall for the past 30 years, and has recently been rebuilt in an art-deco style and re-opened to the public showing independent and art house films, a place for film events, lectures and workshops. More suited to lectures, the seating is not that comfortable to watch a film, but the bar area is nice and spacious with a great selection of drinks around the world, to meet before or after a film.

The plush wide leather seats are incredibly comfortable, the sound system excellent (not overly loud as can be the case with some small venues) and the beautiful vintage-looking curtains covering the screen topping off the sense of luxury. The reception provided by Fox was very well-done as well. I mean, I'd already been given the chance to catch a great movie more than a month before it was due to be released, and I'm getting free drinks and delicious nibbles too? Great stuff!

Also on event night, there incredible efforts maintained there impeccable levels. Great to all my guests and polite as ever. Certainly call upon these guys. Why the 3-stars then? - Well it's down to the equipment and overall feel of the interior. If i'm honest it feels like it's stuck in the 80s a little and really needs a re-vamp. Few torn carpets and seats and the toilets are a good 7/10. I understand that it's difficult but there are so many locations like this in the area, they need to keep up with the bars that are being set. A great place and nicely tucked away in Soho, and I'll be thanking the staff for weeks to come! Solid.

However, if you find your attention drawn away from the film, you start to become aware of your surroundings. The cinema is dated, with a dusty 'old' smell about it.

I would not recommend.

They have street performers doing various magic tricks nearby which really increases the crowds. The theater itself is spacious and has couches in the waiting area. Concessions aren't marked up like in the USA - everything in London is equally expensive :). I want to see Raid 2. The screen is decent sized, but the theater access is strange with several stairs going down and then up again. Like cinemas in Asia, they have assigned seating but you can switch if the theater isn't too crowded. Seats are comfortable, and are the rocking type. The other difference from USA theaters is that they show more commercials than trailers - that's okay since I find many UK commercials actually funny. BTW - Raid 2 is an excellent action flick that is pure adrenalin rush. A must for all martial arts fans. The fight scenes were intense and the violence over the top (makes Kill Bill look tame). I hope it does well in the USA - it left me speechless and many audience members here gasped at the intensity.
