In my first few weeks here I saw a Bollywood film in Hindi - we stayed for half of it. That is my only moviegoing with a lot of really nicehere.
Yesterday I decided to go see The Hunger Games at the Phoenix mall. Rickshaws can't go that far so I had to walk 15 minutes in this ridiculous heat to the hospital where I could get a taxi. It rattled and shook and I though it was going to shatter! When I got in he said "sealink?" going across the sealink is faster but has a toll. When we got there he said if I bought a return ticked it would be cheaper. He was very concerned that I keep my ticket and get my discount :) sweet taxi driver.
I got to the mall - it's really a complex of malls with nice stores. The movie theater is really nice with comfy chairs. The tickets are $2 before noon, $3 from noon to 6, and $4,50 are the most expensive tickets at night.
other differences -
They give you assigned seats.
you stand for the national anthem before the movie starts
it is totally acceptable to talk during the movie and discuss it :)
there is intermission at all movies. so right when Katniss got into the arena for the games, the movie stopped!
it's nice you can go to the bathroom without missing anything and get some more snacks.
I had a nice pizza at california pizza kitchen and got a cab home. It cooled down in the evening and the ride home was nice - watching the sun set over the sea link :)
