The Kress Cinema is a theatre that runs films that have already shown in the first-run theaters and presented at a lower ticket price. (These are sometimes known as dollar theatre or "Cheap Seats".) This form of cinema is diminishing in viability owing to the increasingly shortened intervals before the films' home video release. Mind, the admission is not a dollar but $1.50 ( who is complaining) still bloody cheap in these mean times.
As if watching hours of The Royal Wedding on the telly was not enough drama for the week, this old geezer had to spend a few hours in the dark watching another British drama, The King's Speech, winner of awards this year.
Last night it was all about two members of the Royal Family getting married, keeping the line going for the current branch of the Royal Family. Today was going back in time to the days of George VI, the chap who made last night happen for the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge. The family is not without its ups and downs.
Truth be told, watching the wedding was a bit boring, even for a rabid anglophile such as this old geezer. It was no chore to watch the film on a period in the life of George VI. The acting was superior and I rather like period pieces, the late 30's being one of me favoured periods.
For my birthday this year, MOI received a packet of tickets to the cinema from 'Sonny & Cher'. I do so love going to see a film on the cheap...
I must remember in future that the air is quite cold in the cinema, nearly froze...
