right word, over the past 13 years and there were some really good new gags, as well as the ones you’d expect.

Pirates are such a hoot
I haven’t laughed so much since the last Wallis and Gromit film when I saw Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists. Aardman certainly know how to pack everything into their films and it’s definitely fun for all the family. And it’s amazing how they manage to make it so enjoyable using only Plasticine

War Horse is magnificent
I just loved War Horse, so much so that I went see it in the cinema again just a few days after the first time and now I’ve bought the DVD so I can watch it again and again. It’s moving, sad, beautiful and uplifting. The actors are superb and all the horses are magnificent.

... What a load of old tosh War Horse is. Talk about milking it to get the tears flowing! There was a chance here to make a serious film about the First World War and Steven Spielberg blew it.

Make space for ‘art’ films
Why can’t multiplexes have at least one showing a week of acclaimed “art” films as not everyone can afford to travel to London to see them?

Calling card
I had a good laugh reading Robin Askew’s account of how he hates watching films with other people in cinemas (My Guilty Secret), especially his “special circle of Hell reserved for people who make and receive calls during screenings.” It brought
Thor the weakest link
I enjoyed Avengers Assemble for the most part but I did think that Chris Hemsworth as Thor wasn’t up to the standard of the rest of the cast. He seemed rather wooden, just like he did in the film Thor. Chris Evans as Captain America was excellent, as was Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff, and of course the old pros Robert Downey Jr and Samuel L Jackson were well up to their usual form.

Mel and Kevin head to head
back the time when someone’s mobile went off during a particularly intense scene and a wag at the back shouted out: “It’s for you-hoo!” It brought the house down.

High prices
Can anyone tell me why the price of chocolate/sweets/popcorn/Coke/hot dogs/ nachos etc is so high in cinemas? Much as I love going out to see a film, I really
do resent having to shell out almost
double the price for them that I would anywhere else. It almost takes all the pleasure out of what should be a good night out.

Feelgood factor
I wholeheartedly agree with Matthew Bell (Keeping Score). Never mind The Beatles, the Stones and The Who, Dr Feelgood are Britain’s finest band ever and Oil City Confidential is one of the best rock documentaries ever.

More film events?
I particularly enjoyed Nigel Powlson’s very interesting article The Grey Area about the Silver Screen mornings at my local cinema, the Ritz in Belper. It would be interesting to see if other movies1 readers have similar events at cinemas near them.

Keep it quiet
Why do audiences in cinemas insist on talking while the film is on – particularly the dumbos who need every single thing explaining? If they can’t understand the plot of even the simplest movie, why bother going at all?
Sue Moore, Nottingham
You say
Has anyone else noticed how much Mel Gibson is getting to look like Michael Le Vell, who plays Kevin Webster in Coronation Street? The similarity in photos from Mel’s new film How I Spent My Summer Vacation is truly amazing.

What a Good Time we all had
Everyone in the cinema watching the comedy All in Good Time with me were falling about laughing all the way through. It’s absolutely hilarious. But thank goodness the dysfunctional Dutt family are nothing like mine.

A fresh slice of Pie
I know most of the critics hated it (with the honourable exception of movies1’s Russell Forgham) but I thoroughly enjoyed American Pie: Reunion. It was interesting to see how all the friends from the first film had “matured”, if that’s the
