Movies. The most stressful, yet a relaxing activity. After thinking about how such a relaxing topic be stressful, I have come to the conclusion that it isn’t the activity that is stressful. It is the planning, and organizing the event that is stressful. To be able to plant myself in the comfortable couches with comfort food and drink and not worry about anything to escape to a safe place. Going to the movies with my friends where all of us are involved in the movie is indeed a very relaxing activity; however, figuring out the logistics of the event beforehand to create a plan for the activity to go as smoothly as possibly is tough. This occurs especially when I go to the movies with my friends. Not only do I have to figure out what movie am …show more content…
This creates a more enjoyable environment as I am able to discuss the movie and talk about it after watching it on the way home. Going to the theatre with my friends is a tough experience as we have to coordinate each other schedule and preferences in order to go to the movies. Before even deciding anything about go to the movies, my friends and I try to work out a time that works the best for us. This gives us a limited options as we also have to keep in mind that we do not have access to a car. Therefore we will have to take the Mall and Market bus on Saturday or Late Night bus that is available Thursday through Saturday. Once we have decided on a date that works best for all of us, we try to search for the movies that are playing in the theatres. This is when the most frustrating part comes, as we are all very indecisive about what to watch. Within my group of four friends, three of us like romantic comedy movies, and three of us like action thriller; it is very hard to please all four of us when going to the movie. If the majority of us want to go see a new movie, most likely the remaining friends are being persuaded to see the …show more content…
If they do, we tend to go the theatre at least a day before to secure the tickets and the seats for the movie that we want to watch. I faintly remember when my friends and I wanted to go to the Fifty Shades of Grey movie on the night it released all the shows were sold out, therefore we had to buy the tickets for the following day. However, when I tried to get the tickets a week after the Maze Runner: Scorch Trials was released we had no problem getting the tickets at good seats. Once the tickets reach our hands and are securely put in our wallets, we start deciding if we want to go eat out. Depending upon how long it has been since we all seen the outside world far away from our campus, and if we are willing to spend the extra money on food that is actually worth it, we decide where to eat. Since most of my friends are engineering majors and barely get to see the outside world, we do decide to eat out at places like Jasmine Thai Restaurant where the food is cooked to perfection and isn’t anything close to what we eat at campus. Once we fill our stomachs, we go to the theatre. We usually end up taking the south campus bus as that is the bus that picks us from the Boulevard Mall and eventually after hours of looping takes us to the AMC. As we make our way into the AMC we all decide if we want to buy
Watching movies is a fun activity that is suitable for one person, large groups, or anywhere in between. Unfortunately, a vast majority of these
Even though there is a great amount of audience participation, one really has to turn your attention to the actors in the movie. It takes a special kind of person to really understand the movie they are in.
During the first few weeks of our FYS-X class, the students are required to view the movie “Dead Man Walking. Unfortunately, I was not able to make it to the showing at school, but I rented the DVD from Block Buster Video. I missed an opportunity to gain some bonding time with my classmates, but I could not get off work in the short notice that the class was told about the film viewing. When I viewed film, I had the pleasure of being in my home atmosphere, and I had the opportunity to better concentrate on the movie and the ability to rewind at certain points in the film. Before viewing the film, I was not too excited about having to watch it. I was under the impression that this movie would be boring and more of an educational video. After I watched the movie, I knew that my prediction about it was very inaccurate. “Dead Man Walking” is one of the finest films I have ever seen, and it has raised my bar of standards for a drama.

On Saturday July 29th, 2017, I was able to catch one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a while, Girls Trip. I was able to view the movie with four of three of friends of mines at the Regal Moorestown Mall Stadium 12 & RPX, located in Moorestown, New Jersey. My experience started with the aromas of popcorn. I am one of those type who has to have popcorn with lots of butter while enjoying a movie. After I purchased my popcorn and bottled water I was ready to enjoy this night with my friends. However, I wasn’t the one who purchased the tickets so the seats choices where horrible. They were floor level, on the very far right and third row. Still trying to make the best out of it I reclined my see as far back as possible so my neck would bother me the during the movie. The theater was packed, mostly with women.

Movies have been playing on the television since the early 1900’s. However, humans have been watching plays at the theatre for much longer, establishing a root for the movie culture. In Shakespeare’s time, tragedies were the leading genres in plays. Shakespeare’s plays were a big hit in his time, and laid the foundations for producers to later share his work in film. Most people have a preference to the genre type of movies. Picking a movie can be a difficult task, which is why they have different categories to describe the overall content of the movie. Depending on the mood and setting, one may crave a certain genre over another.
Movie theaters are conglomerates in the film industry. Only a few competing firms. Offer the same ticket prices and provide the same products and roughly the same services to customers.
When I think about stress, many scenarios and experiences come flooding back to my brain. Stress is something that I am very familiar with and wish that I had less of. One of the most recent and stressful experiences in my life was moving into college my freshman year. Moving in wasn’t where all the stress was, it was everything that dealt with the process. It was the daunting thoughts of never making friends. The lonely feeling I got while I watched my parents drive away. The longing I had to be with people that were very familiar to me. All of this combined, made my first week of college, extremely stressful.
When we first got to the movie theater, it was around 4:20 in the afternoon. The movie didn’t start until 4:45 so we sat in the car for a few minutes. I noticed that were only a few other cars in the parking lot. When we walked up to the ticket booth there was a sign saying to buy our tickets at the concession stand so we proceeded to go inside. The lobby featured a game room to your right as you enter and a large concession stand. The tickets were at matinee price which is seven dollars. This is only two dollars cheaper than the regular price for admission. I decided not to buy any snacks due to being familiar with the cinema’s prices. One of my friends spent around twenty dollars on popcorn, a drink , and her ticket. There is a “manager special” at the theater that includes two large drinks...
Movies have always been an escape for me, partially because my parents separated shortly after I was

Many people go to the movies. The movies are an escape into a fantasy world. Everyone has a different preference on what kind of movie is the best. Romance, horror, action, and comedy are different types of movies. The kind of movie someone goes to see can give clues to what kind of person they are.
The first factor to consider is convenience. Netflix can be the simplest choice, because the average person does not have to leave the house. While there may be a few movie theaters in a town, they require a drive to get to them. Another aspect to consider is that movie theaters follow a set schedule, and the times cannot be altered. For example,
A movie theater has its advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is that people can see the showing of different movies that have been newly released. The disadvantage is that, that is all there is to it and nothing more. At home, you can control the variety and ways to watch a movie. People buy many movies to watch at home and it can be anything at any time even at any place. The only bad thing about it is that they cannot see any of the newest released movies that recently came out in theaters. There are two types of ways people watch movies at their homes. One way is people already own DVDs or have bought many of them and start watching them in their DVD players. The other ways are streaming a movie through the internet. For this to happen, people would mainly buy the monthly subscriptions such as Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime. Through this subscription people do not only watch movies in their homes but they also watch television shows. The only downside is there is a very limited number of movies added onto these
