WWE Armagedon ...
I may end up watching the Night at The Museum in a week or so...
I saw "Mein Fuehrer" last week - quite a comedy and made us laugh often. However, IMO the movie would have been better if it stuck to being a pure political comedy on the life of Hitler. The over-trivialization of some personal details (like Hitler wetting his pajamas) was quite unnecessary, and one ends up finding the movie an incomplete experience.
Just wondering - how expensive are these in SA?Quote:

Okay on average for two to visit the theater works to about R150..Quote:

Popcorn & cola : R20 pp minimum.
Chocolate & cola half way : R20 pp minimum (The popcorn there makes you very thirsty, and i need the sugar intake)
Secure parking : R3 per hour ( unless you want to take the chance that you'll walk home)
Now in comparison: Wait for the movie on DVD..
Video rental : R20 - (on contract R15)
SixPack Coke cans : R22
Micro Popcorn : R8
Choc slab : R6
Total cost: R51.
That is more than 20 USD for a couple's visit to the theatre. Pretty expensive even by American / European standards.Quote:

BTW, do you have theatres playing Indian Films in SA?
I understand that Hindi movies are pretty popular in some African nations...LOL! I remember eating chocolates under the pretext of intense thirst... So, I understand the point you make there very well. :DQuote:

And one of the latest bollywood movies "Cash" was shot in SA in October, with Zayed Khan, Ajay Devgan, Shamita Shetty, Ritesh Deshmukh and Esha Deol... SA has a big Bollywood following...
SABC 3 plays Indian films on sundays, I think mostly. It has English Subtitles, and some of them are actually quite funny :)
Wanted to watch King Kong on Sunday, but lightning struck the power out.
Last movie I watched in a theater was Alexander, but it cost me an arm and a leg..
Oh, wow -- I am anyways impressed to know that Bollywood movies are so popular out there... But, did you actually jot that list of names down from the top of your head? :)Quote:
