Movies
I love watching movies in the theater. But I haven’t seen one since I arrived here in the United States. Back home, I was watching one movie a week (even more sometimes). What have I missed so far? The Interpreter, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, Madagascar, Stars Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Batman Begins and more. I’d like to watch Bewitched. I like shows about witches, you know, like Charmed. Bewitched seems like fun.
Watching a movie relaxes me. I also like seeing scenes of places where I have been or where I want to go. Have you seen Hitch? It was filmed in NY. Nice to see familiar places. How about the popcorn? Hmmm… or the nachos?
How much does one pay for a movie? In New York, it’s $10.50; in Baltimore it’s $8.50 and in Bacolod, it is 50-60 pesos!! We have a movie theater here in Sunnyside, NY, that has specials on Tuesdays. It’s only $4.50. I better remember this next week.
Might as well wait for the DVD! No, some movies are better watched in a big screen. Oh well!
When I was younger, I recall watching a movie with my family (I think this might be the first time), in Little Cinema in Goldenfields, Bacolod. We watched The Champ. Ricky Schroeder was a still little boy then whose father was a boxer. I cried and cried. Good thing, it didn’t made movie watching a traumatic experience.
What movies have you seen lately?
