One of the things that I missed most about living in Germany was the lack of movies. Sure, there was a theater in Bad Godesburg that played movies in English, but the times were never convenient. They usually started between 4:30 and 5:30 PM. Way too early for Kevin to get there after work, and I felt guilty going by myself.
Now that we are back in Raleigh, I love having movie theaters everywhere. It's especially great that we came back to the states when all of the year's best films are in the theaters. I've got a list a mile long of things that I want to see, and only a week of so before the baby comes to see them.
Yesterday evening Kevin wanted to hunker down by the fire to watch football. I had a better way to spend the evening . . . by going to the movies. The only decision I had to make was which film to see. Even when I left the house I was still undecided. Fortunately, the movie theater (or my mistake) made my decision easy. Doubt started earlier then I thought. Slum Dog Millionaire was starting in ten minutes. Perfect.
I really like the movie too. Though I knew a little bit of the plot, I was still surprised by the story. It was both unbelievably painful to see the poverty, and still beautiful to watch. I also found the characters to be interesting and developed and complex. Overall, I'd stay it was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.
About Me

- In the fall of 2007 my husband and I moved to Germany. After more than a year of traveling, eating, and living abroad, we were transferred back to the states. At the time of our return, I was 34 weeks pregnant. This is a true account of our re-assimilation, reverse culture shock, and impending adventure into parenthood.
A Southern Something
I don't think there are quite enough sausages in the South to maintain the "Wurst of the Week." Instead, I am replacing this sidebar feature with "A Southern Something." To start, I'd like to introduce you to chow chow. A pickled relish, chow chow can be made from any number of vegetables, including cabbage, onions, or green tomatoes.

Ok, run it in already! How I miss Raleigh and also plentiful English language movie theaters!
Have you tried renting movies from iTunes? That's what I did in Germany.
But I agree, the movies are one of the best things about being back. And, even though I wont be getting out much in the next few months, I'm loving cable on-demand and seriously contemplating renewing my membership to Netflix.
