Movie Theatre


I have been wanting to go to the movies since we arrived here in Rome and I finally got a chance to do so the other night. We just happened to run across a movie theatre near the Vatican that not only had good movies playing but offered them in English. After viewing movies in Italian for five weeks now it was nice to go and sit down to a movie that I could kick back and relax to. The movie theatre was a little bit different than the ones in America but for the most part the same. The biggest difference was that there was a concession stand plus a cafe. You could come early and enjoy a pinini and wine outside at a table or take a big bucket of popcorn and a coke in with you. It was like a taste of home in Italy with somewhat of a twist. Another major bonus to the theatre we went to was that the seats were huge! they reclined and were extremely comfortable. They also had an intermission in the middle of the movie that allowed you to get up and go to the bathroom which they conveniently had located right in the theatre where your movie was playing. There set up and style of theatres were far more impressive than any that I have ever been to and I look forward to going back!
