Movies in Serbia

Tuesday for Mac's Birthday we decided to try a movie.  Last week I stopped in the theater and checked on ticket prices.  I was shocked that prices were so good.  about $3 for kids and $4 for adults.  So on Tuesday it was cheaper because it was a weekday - We saw a movie - all for of us for $11.  Pretty amazing.  Tack on the drinks and huge popcorn for less then $10 and our Serbian Movie experience was off to great start.  While buying the tickets the clerk asked me where i wanted to sit - they give you assigned seats here.  When you buy the tickets they show you a little schematic with all the available seats then your ticket is marked like you were at a concert or something.  I though that was pretty cool.  The theater was big and very modern - Just like an American theater.  One big difference was when the previews started they did not dim the lights they just turn them off - so for like 10 seconds its pitch black.  Since it was Mac's Birthday we saw the Princess and the Frog.  It was really good - We could have done without the voodoo and black magic stuff but the theme was great.  There was a lot of physical comedy and Mac loves that so she laughed pretty hard.  For those of you wondering the movie was in English with Cyrillic Serbian Subtitles (the kids here learn the Cyrillic first so kids movies have them and older movies have the Latin).  Over all it was a great experience.  Not overly expensive for our income so we will be able to enjoy a movie every now and then.  Here's Pic's of the theater and Mac's birthday desert.
