We finally got to watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It was a great movie! It's only the third movie we've watched since we got here.
We've gone to a different movie theater each time and these three are the best theaters on Hong Kong island. You pretty much need to pre-buy tickets in advance since all movie tickets have assigned seats. They're often sold out on the weekends if you try to get last minute tickets or you'll end up in the first row. However, it's really nice not to have to line up 30 minutes in advance to get a good seat. Actually, one of the theaters didn't even let you in to the theater area until 15 minutes before the movie.
The theaters we went to were pretty small but the seats are sofa-like, big and comfy. Since the theaters are small, even the seats on the sides have a pretty good view. Like theaters everywhere, the concession foods are expensive. Maybe because these theaters are pretty western, I haven't seen any foods that are out of the ordinary.
The other thing is that the American movies come out a lot later here and they rotate out after a few weeks. I think it's because there are just so many movies to fit in with American and Asian movies. So we have a small window to catch the movies and not everything comes out here. We haven't made it to an Asian film yet but I'm looking forward to watching some on the big screen while we're here.

I heard from my mom this film "Red Wall" is supposed to be really good about the "Three country Era" in Chinese history. Have you guys heard about it??
Not really... I've been pretty out of the Chinese movie cinema scene... But we did just get to go watch Confessions of a Shopaholic. It was pretty fun.
