ARCHIVE - April 2006 - Alien Autopsy Premiere

****Here is my wee story about my trip to Newcastle to see the premiere of the UK film - Alien Autopsy starring Ant & Dec****

Me & me pal Jenni set off from a very snowy aberdeen at 6.30am on tuesday morning by megabus. The Journey went surprisingly quick seeing we had 7 hours on a bus. We finally reached Newcastle at about 1.45pm and it was quite cold too. We headed out to our hotel in Gateshead and got settled in. Decided to have a KFC for tea as it was right outside the hotel. We then just sat and watched tele and then got ready to go out.

At about 6.15pm we headed out to 'The Gate' in Newcastle for the big premiere. Was really excited. Loadsa fans there. Didn't hang around and just headed into the complex to keep warm. But then at 7pm the doors opened and we went back out of the complex and we got to walk up the red carpet and escorted up in the lift to the cinema. Huge place. We got into our seats and got comfy. The start was delayed because ant & dec were greeting their fans outside the cinema. (Wished we got popcorn - was blinking starving)

We finally got going just after 8pm with Ant & Dec introducing the film before the start, then the lights went down and the film started. It was based on the Alien Autopsy footage that was broadcasted in 1995. The film starts a bit slow with them explaining the story etc but slowly picks up when the faking of the autopsy begins with some funny moments there. The film isn't a joke a minute film but some bits are really good and funny. And make sure you don't miss dec's sex scene!!!

When it finished and Ant & Dec's names came up on the screen everyone cheered and clapped as the lads made their exit.Overall I had a great nite out in newcastle once again and the film..It won't be everyone's cup of tea and some people may not like it. It has had mixed reviews from the press. It seems to be that the younger people's press is giving the thumbs up where as the older is giving it a big no-no. It won't make them into huge film stars but if you are an ant & dec fan you will enjoy the lads performance. With the reviews I have seen it seems that the storyline is this films bad points but ant & dec's performances are superb for their first film.
