Had some free time this past Saturday and decided to take in a movie. The new Bond flick started here last week—I don’t think it starts in the states until the 14th. Don’t worry I won’t spoil the ending, but it was pretty good—lots of chases and action; fairly easy story to follow.
I’m not sure how it is at all theatres over here, but at the Grand Festival Cinema when you purchase your ticket you have to select your seat…I took row 6, seat 13 (and the rows are counted from the top of the theatre, so I had the 6th row from the top). Price was 35AED or just shy of $10…kind of pricey for an afternoon viewing, but they make it up on the concessions. Med popcorn and a bottle of water was 13 AED or about $3.50.
They had an usher to show you to your seat; no ads, but lots of previews. No one was talking on their cell phone (as I had been told to expect). Overall, a very enjoyable experience.
Oh yeah, the movie did have Arabic subtitles...and It was rated PG15.

You realize how much you'd be paying in NYC for a movie right? You ain't in Columbus anymore!
