How wonderful it is to watch a movie in a theatre? The last time I watched a full movie in a theatre was in 2002 when I saw ‘Yey! Nee Romba Azhagaa Irukkaey‘ at Chennai. A year later, my wife and I watched ‘Love Actually’ in London but had to come out 20 minutes before the movie ended as we had a train to catch. Currently, as we have our my in-laws here to baby sit Anirud, we decided to watch Mr. Bean’s Holiday at Empire Cinema in Hemel Hempstead.
The movie was a typical Rowan Atkinson comedy which people of any age could enjoy. More than the actual movie itself, I enjoyed the theatre experience complete with nachos (Popcorn is not my fav) and 2 scoops of Haagen-Dazs. Movie in a cinema hall doesn’t seem to be the flavour these days. There were hardly 30 people in the hall and this was on an evening before a long weekend. May be it was a wrong day or it could be that people prefer to watch it at the comfort of home. Anyhow, it was an enjoyable evening over all to re-live what we were doing more frequently once upon a time.
Nice romantic night out eh ?
How expensive is a movie ticket there? We have some $1 theatres, we used to go there all the time!
No harm in going for a romantic night out every now and then, who says, we cannot do it, when we have a kid.
Anyway, Chakra, watch ‘Mozhi’. With this movie, you can definitely include Anirud and as well as your in-laws. BTW, what does our in-laws mean ? Your parents, her parents, whose parents ?
oops!!! my blogroll is not indicating the updates made to your blog. So have a lot of posts of yours to update.
Great to see that you had enjoyabale weekend. And as Deepak says Mozhi is good. An good ART film by Prakash Raj. Worth Watching
Vidya - hehe..
Meera - movie tickets are priced around £5-£7 in the theatres that I have visited. I am not sure about the presence of any low-cost / expensive theatres.
$1 theatre sounds novel. Whenever I tell any Americans about our low-cost airlines (selling cheap tickets for £1), I would sense lot of stomach burning.. think it is the time for us to feel the same.
Deepak - I am waiting to watch Mozhi. Haven’t done it yet.
well… it should be my in-laws… her parents. thanks for pointing out.
Janani - Welcome back! If you are using bloglines (I do) someone else also told me that it is not bringing out the updates properly. Not sure how to handle that problem. Thanks for your note on Mozhi.
