Our First Movie Experience

Since some of the male members of the Weintraub household were tired of shopping everyday.....we decided we would take in a movie. There are cinemas everywhere here. We selected Journey to the Center of the Earth as our movie. Of course, this required us to go to a mall. The ticket counter is out in the mall, not in the theater itself. Tickets are only $2.50 each. Loved that! Also, you actually get to purchase your seat. All the seats are numbered and assigned and there are ushers to take you to it. Because the ticket counter is outside, there are food vendors everywhere to choose from with a wide variety of choices. The biggest one had many flavors of popcorn....sour cream and onion, Texas BBQ (?), Strawberry and Wasabi to name a few. I stuck with "Natural". Popcorn is a dollar bag!

The movie starts at the assigned time. Meaning that previews are before the time on your ticket. We walked in about 20 minutes before it started and the previews were already going. We must have sat through 10-12 previews. They show everything. Downside is the previews they show are not tied to the rating of the movie you are seeing. So we had to sit through numerous R rated ones.

Other than that, it is just like watching a movie at home, only much cheaper.
