There is also a nearby Temple that shows movies every Wednesday afternoon at no cost and the ones I have seen so far are films about seniors.
The capacity of the room is six hundred people and would you believe the room fills up quickly so for a movie that starts at 1:30 I plan on getting there no later than 1:00.
I think there are a number of reasons so many people attend the movies at the Temple:
The locationI'm especially interested in seeing the films they show because they are usually about seniors, take place in foreign countries and and not the silly or cops and robber type that come out of Hollywood.
The subject matter
The afternoon showing
There is no charge
AND they serve beverages and cookies
Last week I saw the film "Elsa and Fred." It was funny, sad and heart warming.
When the retired seventy-seven years old hypochondriac widower Fred moves to an apartment in Madrid, his daughter has an incident with his next door neighbor, the elder Argentinean Elsa. Later they meet each other and Elsa seduces Fred with her reckless behavior and they have a romance.
Fred is a reserved gentleman and Elsa is far from reserved. She's an attractive eighty-two year old senior, believes in enjoying life every minute and helps Fred get on with his life and he learns a thing or two from his lively neighbor!!
The Descendants
How can anything starring George Clooney be anything but good! - The story, the actors, the Hawaiian islands made for a sad/funny film which I enjoyed very much.
Even appreciated George in his Hawaiian shirts!!
My Week With Marilyn
The actors in the film were all great, especially Michelle Williams who was wonderful as Marilyn Monroe.
I felt that the content was repetitious and the movie was way too long.
I especially liked the character of the young man who played the part of an assistant and had a big crush on Marilyn.
War Horse
To put it in a nutshell the actors were great, the horse was wonderful but the war scenes were too much.
Have you seen any good movies?
