VUE CINEMAS at Star City are screening their second Mystery Movie tomorrow night at 6.30pm on Tuesday, June 9.

So, what could it be?

Well, all that I can tell you is that it hasn't been released yet but it's going to get some really good reviews.

I've seen it and really enjoyed it but it's for over 15s only.

Last month, the scheme was piloted with a screening of Star Trek, so you can be assured that anyone who went along would have been thrilled discover they were seeing a film of that ilk before it was even released.

And it's the same again this month, so why not treat yourself to seeing a movie without know what you are letting yourself in for?

It's really exciting to see films that way and it's something I often do for myself.

Vue Cinemas are so confident that you won't be disappointed, you can even claim a refund within the first 20 minutes, which you could always use towards seeing something else.

There's also some more exciting news from Vue at Star City... it is installing two digital theatres so that it can join in with the 3D bandwagon.

Look out here for details of a special launch screening.

Meanwhile, did you know what Cineworld Broad Street is screening three copies of Terminator Salvation?

But only if you see it in (my favourite) Screen Six will you get the crystal clear digital version.

Just thought you might like to know to compare formats! Let me know which you think is the best.

VUE Cinemas is set to spice things up - with a series of Mystery Movie screenings.
Once a month, from next Tuesday, May 5, cinema goers will be given an opportunity to view a film ahead of its official release.
But, they won't know what it is until the opening credits.
Once the scheme is up and running, the general idea is to broaden tastes by introducing people to a film they might not ordinarily see.
Only the certification of the film will be revealed to audiences ahead of the screening.
But get this...
Whilst the standard ticket price applies, customers will also have the option to leave and seek a refund during the first 20 minutes of the film.
Vue's sales and marketing director Mark de Quervain says: "We're playing on the thrill of the unknown.
"It's all about getting people to see films they normally wouldn't see. We want to broaden their film horizons and offer an exciting cinema experience."
Tickets for all the performances can be purchased at www.myvue.com or by calling 08712 240 240 or directly from participating cinemas.
+ The screening at Vue Star City on Tuesday, May 5 will start at 6.30pm, it's a 12A... and the running time according to Vue's own website is said to be 120 minutes!
PS. I can offer no more clues, but you have to ask yourself this question.
Is Vue likely to launch this scheme with a dud? I think not...

Vue Cinemas at Star City is going to play a role in hosting what organisers hope will be the world's largest film premiere.

Climate change film The Age of Stupid will be screened in a solar cinema tent in London's Leicester Square on Sunday.

And Vue will be the first multiplex to have a live satellite link so that audiences around the country can all enjoy this unique environmental film together.

The Age of Stupid is set in 2055, and the world has been devastated by climate change.

Oscar-nominated actor Pete Postlethwaite plays a man living alone, who narrates the film around the central question - "why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance?" while looking at archived TV footage from 2008.

Directed by Franny Armstrong (McLibel) and produced by Oscar-winning John Battsek (One Day in September), the £450,000 budget for the film was raised entirely by "crowd-funding".

Postlethwaite will arrive at the West End premiere in a special solar car, provided by Cambridge University's Eco Racing Team.

He will be joined on the "green" carpet by a glittering array of British talent, all lending their support to the film.

The event will also support "Not Stupid"; a campaign to build awareness around climate change that has been established by the film's director Franny Armstrong.

From 5.30pm on Sunday, March 15, Vue audiences will get the opportunity to see the green carpet arrivals, watch the film from 6pm and then see the post-film Q&A from 7.30pm via a live satellite link-up.

Tickets are £10 each. They can can be purchased online from www.myvue.com or by phone via 08712 240 240 or directly from box offices at participating cinemas.

The Age of Stupid is being released nationwide on March 20.
