Lighthouse Cinema

Today i made my very belated first visit to the new Lighthouse cinema in Smithfield to see Vicky Cristina Barcelona. The film was great but the cinema building was an experience in itself. It is a triumph of design. A thing of beauty to behold. Pleasing to the eye. Tender on the arse. (The seats).
Anyways, you should go, it's ace.
DTA architects get all the credit for this one. The cinema descends into basement levels with clean lines, sparse colourful furniture and oversized signage.

The food prices are cheap: €2 for popcorn. And so are the tickets, i paid €7.50 for a matinee showing.

I'll be heading back there to see Let the Right One In
