A friend told me about 50 cts movies on Tuesdays. I googled for the location and only found 75 cts movies on Tuesdays at Cinemark Movies 8, 6808 South Memorial Drive, Tulsa, OK 74133. I thought that was it, and that maybe the price has increased.
75 cts is great! We got to see the following shows at Cinemark Movies 8:
(1) Source Code (28 June 2011)
(2) Priest (5 July 2011)
(3) Thor (12 July 2011)
(4) Rio (19 July 2011)
(5) Pirates of the Caribbean (9 August 2011)
(6) X-men: First Class (16 August 2011)
(7) Mr. Popper's Penguin (23 August 2011)
(8) Super 8 (30 August 2011)
(9) Zoo Keeper (6 September 2011)
(10) Captain America (4 October 2011)
50 cts is better! Thanks to the same friend again. She phoned me one Tuesday night couple of weeks ago, asking if I would like to go with her to the 50 cts movie, but I did not get her message in time. When I returned her call, she had already attended the movie and I asked her what cinema she went to.
Super Saver Cinema, 5970 East 31st Street, Tulsa, OK, movies on Tuesdays are 50 cts! We went to our 1st show there today!
(1) Smurfs (15 November 2011)
75 cts is good. 50 cts is better!
I have never attended so many movies at the cinema in 10 months. 14 movies since the 7 January 2011. I love it!
When I was a little girl, me and my 2 brothers would follow our parents to the cinema. We entered free. There were 3 different sections/seatings in the cinema: 1.50, 1.00 and 0.50. My parents bought the 50 cts tickets. It tickles me to think that I was able to attend 50 cts movie just like what my mum had!
I found this site w.r.t. the pricing after that - http://www.tulsapeople.com/Tulsa-People/February-2009/Cheap-Thrills-Entertainment/

Cinema Gift Card
Saturday, 30 April 2011
Thank, Merri, for the cinema gift card. It was her 2010 Christmas present to us. Mike & I got to attend 3 movies out of it.
We saw "Season of the Witch" on the 7 January and "True Grit" on the 17 January. This morning we watched "Paul".
We thought we would get $1 balance but instead we have to pay $1 more.
The ticket cost $1 more starting last Saturday! It was $4 before.

Tanjung Golden Village Cineplex
Thursday, 28 February 2007
I have written about watching movies on the big screen on the 9 January 2007. And here I go rambling again!
My daughter has been wanting to see '"Dreamgirls" for the past week and we finally saw it tonight at the TGV (Tanjung Golden Village) Cineplex.
I am so glad that Lian's friend got us tickets to watch the movie at TGV (Tanjung Golden Village) Cineplex because this would be my first time watching movie at TGV Cineplex. And interestingly, the cinema is the largest TGV cineplex in Malaysia. It is located on the 3rd floor of the Suria KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre) shopping complex.
I have watched 3 movies at the Golden Screen Cinemas (in Kota Kinabalu - Sabah, Leisure Mall - Cheras, Kuala Lumpur and Berjaya Times Square - Kuala Lumpur). And interestingly, the GSC in Kota Kinabalu is the first GSC to operate in Malaysia. It was opened on the 14 July 1981.
'Dreamgirls" is a Broadway musical film, released on the 22 February 2007 on the GSC. I enjoyed it. Thanks to Lian. "Sound of Music" - my favourite musical film happened to be from Broadway too!

Watching Movies on the Big Screen
Tuesday, 9 January 2007
Happy New Year! My first posting for 2007. I was thinking what it is like watching movies back in the past and the present millennium.
Before I turned into a teenager, my 2 younger brothers and me often go into the Lutong Cinema on Saturday afternoons and watched movies, free of charge. The cinema was only a few minutes walk from our home. We saw all kinds of movies and luckily at that time, there were no obscene acts!
There were 3 entrances into the hall, which led to 3 different priced seats. We are bless with a fatherly figure, who was familiar with the 3 of us, who knew our parents, who checked tickets at the entrance leading to the cheapest price seats, would let the 3 of us in, once the light inside the hall were off. We would then look for empty seats. Sometimes we sit in the front rows because they were the only rows that were the least popular therefore less occupied being too close to the screen. Most times we could find seats further away from the screen and also among the highest priced seats!!
Watching movies on the big screen is fun. There were no television then so there was nothing to compared with. I enjoyed the "Sound of Music" (1965, starring Julie Andrews) very much. Went to see with my brothers, went with my classmates and went with Dad in the Lutong and the Miri cinemas. It was shown in the cinema for a number of weeks. I can't remember how long. We now have DVDs of the movie, at home. It has remain my favourite film. But I think I would enjoy better on the big screen!
Technology increased - the quality and sound of the movies improved as the time passed. Watching "Jurassic Park" (1993) in a cinema in Melbourne was indeed an experience for me. It was the first time Lian and Yean, who were only 12 and 7 years old respectively have their first experience of watching a movie on the big screen. It was as if we were inside the Jurassic Park!! The animals looked so real!
Likewise, we enjoyed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (2000, starring Chow Yun Fatt) at a Golden Screen cinema in Kota Kinabalu.
Recently I got the opportunity to watch movies at the Golden Screen cinemas again!

I should thank Brother Nelson for this. We had the tickets, he couldn't attend the show because he had to work, so I jumped in. Friday's show was sad but today's was sheer hilarious. Released 28 December 2006, "Night at the Museum" to me is a very good show for the whole family. I don't mind watching it again!! Also, this is my first time at the Golden Screen cinema in Mid Valley Megamall - Kuala Lumpur.

Thanks to Yean, I got to watch "Curse of the Golden Flower" at the Golden Screen cinema in Leisure Mall in Cheras-Kuala Lumpur.
Released 21 December 2006, it is deemed as the most expensive Chinese film to date (budget $45 million), chosen as China's entry for the academy award for best foreign language film for the year 2006.
It is a tragic story that we see happening everywhere - the result of betrayal of trust and love in a family unit. What I don't like in the film is the clothes that the maids of the palace wore - the necklines are so low, which looked to me stopped just above their nipples with half of their breasts showing. I am sure that the ladies during that period do not dress like that!!! I hope that viewers do not get the impression that the Chinese girls are dressed that way in those times!
