Advantages: The Cinema and lots of Good food Shops Disadvantages: The Lack Of Any Other Shops
...UPDATE – I lied there are 4 shops! See op for updates...
Well part two of my StarCity experience coming up as promised (and another inadvertant Underdog op as no one has yet filled this section of Ciao with wonderful ops)! I have to admit that when Ian and I decided to visit StarCity it was purely based on the shear size of the cinema. We'd driven past it when off to buy stuff from Ikea (in Wednesbury) and been flabbergasted by the huge cinema. It's only when you actually get there, that you realise that it isn't just a 30 screen multiplex, it's also a mini shopping centre.
So, for those who didn't read part one of my StarCity op's here's how to get there (if you did, just scroll down to the "shopping" section): StarCity is situated just off the M6 and is sign posted pretty clearly (although the brown signs are pretty...

Advantages: Leg Room, Surround Sound, Air Conditioning, Quick Box Office Service Disadvantages: £5.50 for an adult ticket!
...I wasn't too sure where to stick this op, as there are two categories on Ciao about StarCity as a shopping centre and StarCity as a Cinema, and I wanted to write about both! So, being the mercenary that I am, this is the first in a two part series - two lots of 10p's!! - and deals with one of the most impressive multiplexes I've ever been to.
StarCity was opened in July 2000 and was touted as the largest cinema in Europe - the Warner Bros website (www.warnervillage.co.uk) now says it's the largest in the UK so some dratted Europeans must have beaten us - but it is still huge. The Cinema boasts 30 - yes, you did read that right - screens and is pretty impressive on first sight. Anyway, I'll take you through everything you need to know, step-by-step.
We were visiting StarCity at Birmingham from Coventry and so it was simple...

Advantages: Lots of choice, films, prices; shops, bars, eateries etc Disadvantages: only one cash till machine, difficult to reach/find, expensive for families
...After a two year wait and many millions of pounds later, Birmingham can be very proud of its latest jewel in its entertainment crown.
StarCity pays host to over 30 screens, one of which is the biggest in Britain and 2nd biggest in Europe. not only does it have big screens but the sound quality is absolutely top class and wipes the floor with other multiplexes in the city.
In addition the chairs are very comfy with plenty of leg room, which makes a change from the usual cramped conditions found these days.
Okay so it can be a bit pricey for a family of four, but it is worth it. Plus the fact StarCity isn't just a mini Hollywood, it also boasts a host of shops, bars, clubs, restaurants, coffee shops and other little useful nic-nacks, although a few more cash till machines wouldn't go a miss.
the only other quibble is its...

If you’ve never been to Bath, in the South West of England, then you should most definitely go. And you should go tomorrow! This beautiful, ancient Roman city has been very sensitively planned and developed and even the more modern buildings seem to... more
