The Movie Theatres

Hello Again people in Maryland,

Spanish movie theatres have many US films, however they come out here way later than they do in the US. For example, when we first arrived in Spain the second week of january, Rocky Balboa did not come out in the theatres until like 3 days after we got here. That movie came out way before christmas in the States. That is typical of movies over here. Most of the theatres here have the movies dubbed over in Spanish, however there is one theatre in Sevilla that has the movies in english with spanish subtitles. It is very difficult to watch a movie dubbed over in spanish because you can see their mouths saying english words and you want to try and read their lips, but they speak in spanish and sometimes you miss what is going on. also, sometimes the spanish dubbing is very fast and it is hard to understand everything when it is coming at you so fast. Some of the movie theatres here are very similar to those in the States. the theatre closest to my house has 20 different screens i think, and they are set up similar to those back in the states. some theatres are bigger than others, and typically they have the more popular movies showing in the bigger theatres. Also, there are normally about 5 or sometimes more Spanish films showing in the theatres weekly. The sound systems are very similar to those in the states, however i dont know if they are state of the art. well i hope all is well with you all back in the states. take care.
