Cinescape has a bunch of horror/thriller movies going on and lined up for the rest of February. All this horror and no romance in the month of love? I guess not a lot of people have the ‘dinner-and-a-movie’ date anymore. Or probably a horror movie does the trick for the man to show some valor ;)

Now Showing:

The Devil Inside [Trailer]

Releasing on Feb 16th:

Amphibious [Trailer]
Dream House [Trailer]
The Woman in Black [Trailer]

Cinemagic have their monthly rooftop movie schedule going on for February in spite of the weather being so unstable lately with extreme cold, rain, wind and now dust. Hope nothing disrupts the movie screenings!

[Here] is the February schedule.

Cinescape has come up with their very own Gift Vouchers, more like Gift Cards. And not one, but four different types for each of their cinema experiences:

Classic – KD6 | Digital – KD7 | IMAX – KD8 | VIP – KD12

Each card admits two persons and can be a nice gift for anyone or any occasion. They are available at all of their locations so go ahead and surprise someone. I wonder if you can pre-book a movie with them before giving it as a gift, a movie someone has been waiting for perhaps. Now that would be a good surprise.

I like how more businesses are coming up with gift cards and vouchers, it kind of makes it easy to give someone a voucher they could use to buy something of their own liking. I still love getting presents though, it’s a whole different experience receiving pretty wrapped presents and wondering what’s inside till the time comes to actually open them and get all excited. But I don’t mind gift envelopes either! Either way, they’re both fun.

Here are the movies coming out in Cinescape this weekend:

Underworld Awakening [Trailer]
Coriolanus [Trailer]
My Week with Marilyn [Trailer]
Contraband [Trailer]
A Monster in Paris [Trailer]

This time I won the Crumbs’ Twilight Movie Night competition! Last time it was Hash who got it for Harry Potter. My sisters and I had been waiting so long for Cinescape to release Breaking Dawn so you can imagine my excitement when I saw my name on the winners list for 3 tickets to the Movie Night with Crumbs, it was a sister’s night out all right!

The Movie Night was on Dec 29th at the 360 Mall VIP Cinema. We arrived fifteen minutes earlier and got our tickets from the lovely Aseel Al-Turkait when she handed us a big bag of Crumbs’ yummy goodies! We grabbed our usual nachos and popcorn and headed straight in.

All I can say about the movie is that it was badly chopped up. The story on the other hand was not as enjoyable or watchable as the previous parts. Bella’s character is dry as ever, Edward continues to sulk even more, Jacob seemed like the only thing alive in the movie, literally. Daily Mail’s review of this movie says it all.

All in all it was fun to hang out with my sisters and enjoy the Crumbs’ Movie Night hosted by the lovely ladies, Arwa & Aseel and the darling little Lulu. Thank you so much ladies and Crumbs!

Now this is one collection that I’d love to own each piece of! H&M teamed up with the costume designer for the new ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ movie, Trish Summerville, to create a fashionable version of Lisbeth Salander’s dark edgy look. So there’s going to be ‘leather jackets and trousers, torn jeans and slouchy hoodies in industrial shades of black, grey, worn white or dark red’. The collection will have an exclusive debut at the boutique Colette in Paris on 28th November and will then be available in stores worldwide on 14th December.

Hash & I loved the original movie that was dubbed in English and Lisbeth’s character, and now the David Fincher’s version comes out on December 26th. Roonie Mara got a whole new makeover for this movie but we personally prefer Noomi Rapace’s look from the 2009 version.

For those who are not already following the site, go to Mouth Taped Shut which is like an insider production blog of the new movie to engage the audience.

Cinemagic rooftop movie screenings are back this month since the weather is getting a lot better and the evenings are quite cool.

For those who don’t know, Cinemagic movies are screened in the old Salmiya market on the roof on top of Alghanim Electronics and LG. Venue fee is KD1 which includes popcorn and refreshments.

The 99 made their screen debut at the 49th New York Film Festival yesterday. Dr. Naif Al-Mutawa presented The 99 – The Unbound in its first animated feature film directed by Dave Osborne. Read the NYFF spotlight [Here].

A total of 26 half-hour episodes was created out of Al- Mutawa’s comics with the help of entertainment company Endemol, a writer in Hollywood, and production by a UK company and India’s Sanraa Media. The sequence of four TV series, which are being translated into various languages, is showing in New York.

Discovery Channel bought the rights for the series in the US, Cartoon Network in Asia and MBC in the Middle East.

For those who don’t know, The 99 are the Arab world’s first comic superheroes created by Dr. Naif Al-Mutawa based on the 99 attributes of Allah mentioned in the Quran.
