Caribbean Cinemas 

Caribbean Cinemas is a chain of movie theaters in Puerto Rico. It is the only major chain in Puerto Rico, after its main competitor CineVista, went bankrupt and closed all of its theaters. The chain has expanded into Dominican Republic, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, Antigua, Aruba and Trinidad. The Plaza Las Américas and Plaza Guaynabo theaters are the only ones to have a theme, which are the Old San Juan and a marine theme, respectively.

Showcase Cinemas 

A cinema chain in the United Kingdom. It has recliners and screens a fair bit of classics via its “Flashback" program. The closest thing you're gonna get to an arthouse theatre if your area doesn't have one.

I saw Trainspotting at Showcase Cinemas a while ago.

cinema clitera 

An academic term for the genre of film colloquially known as chick flicks. The genre has three main sub-categories:

1. Classic fairytale - often presented in the guise of romantic comedy. Various thin plot lines, but always culminating in the girl marrying the rich, handsome guy - the 'handsome prince' architype. e.g. Bridget Jones' Diary, Notting Hill, Pretty Woman, and many, many more. This is the most common form of cinema clitera.

2. Reconcilation - with a female friend, sister, mother or daughter, with whom there as been a long-standing feud or alienation. Often ends with one of the lead protagonists dying of a 'fashionable' disease, such as leukemia or a brain tumour, shortly after the reconcilation. e.g. Beaches, Terms of Endearment.

3. Girlies together against the world - various plots but all centre around shared emotional trials and tribulations, often a mix of light weight comedy and schmaltz e.g. Steel Magnolias, Sex in the City.

Interviewer: "Mr Grant, many of your films, perhaps with the exception of 'Maurice', are often dismissed by critics as cinema clitera. What is your response to this?"
Hugh Grant: "Erm, Erm, Erm ..."
