Going to the Movies in Da Nang - Movies and more movies!

Movies Update: We have seen a few more movies in the last month, and thought we'd just tell you what we've had available to see!

Frozen - A very enjoyable movie. We saw a weekday morning matinee of this and there were two other couples in the theatre with us...not a single kid was there! Who says you're too old for a cartoon?! Best part though was the "Get a Horse" Mickey Mouse short that plays before the movie. AMAZING and it was just nominated for an Oscar! Go Mickey!

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - This was an opportunity lost. It felt like we were watching three different movies that were trying to come together. The acting was good, as well as the premise but we felt this was Ben Stiller's chance to have a stellar moment like Will Ferrell in Stranger Than Fiction, but it just never made it to that point.

Lone Survivor - Not a movie I wanted to see, but with a handful of options in English (or subtitled), I said why not. A pleasant surprise. Very well done and I enjoyed it. We saw this on a weekday afternoon. The audience was predominately young (twenty-somethings) which we thought was an interesting demographic for a Navy Seal movie, maybe Mark Wahlberg was the draw?! This had to be the most entertaining movie experience ever, and not in a good way. The amount of chatter, wait, talking that happened was insane. It was not just one person, but most people. At that point, you try to accept it and focus on the movie but it is very distracting when trying to listening to the dialogue. For most of the audience, they were reading subtitles so talking would not have been a distraction for them. What was curious were the points of laughter (this was not a comedy) and squeals at the violence and most inappropriate moments. A frustrating experience but an experience nonetheless - never knew an audience could be this loud!
