Another New Movie Theater

Last night my friend and I went to the recently hyped new cineplex called "Cinepolis" next to the Soriana grocery store. Wow! It's as fancy as any I've been to in Canada and the entrance fee was only $30 pesos or about $3.00 U.S. (On Wed. they have the special price, reg. price: $40 pesos.) There is a large variety of snack outlets and the aroma of caramel corn as you walk in the doors is so enticing I marched robot-like to the counter to get some! Since the show we wanted to see (War of the Worlds) was sold out, we bought tickets for the next showing and hunkered down in the snack area with a Scrabble board and some caramel corn. Time passed fairly quickly and we were soon entering the selected viewing salon. Beautiful! The seats are cushy, have the capability to recline and the drink holders actually accommodate the small sized popcorn cups. I'm loving this! The film was action-packed and the special effects truly wild. A couple of times I was actually grabbing onto the seat in fear of what would happen next! Spielberg pulled out all the stops on this flick and between Tom Cruise crying, Dakota Fanning screaming, houses blowing up and aliens marching across the earth on their mission to exterminate, I was an emotionally exhausted when the film ended. Isn't that why we go to the movies in the first place? Two thumbs up!
