Movie Mania in Jakarta
Have been trying to keep up my with my movie passion in Jakarta. There's not much on the Bollywoodmenu, but with no blame to the theater's here. With so much crap being produced in Bollywood, one cant do much.
With the itch to watch Hindi movies always omnipresent, we head off to the theatres, even to suffer through sugary stuff like Krissh and the regurtitant Aap Ki Khatir. As far as the last movie is concerned, I don't see the point of rehashing a flop movie (My Sister's Wedding). IF you dont have the imagination for making a original movie, atleast copy a hit movie. The makers of this movie have to take the cake for sheer stupdiity, in rehashing this insipid movie.

The one movie I liked, event to my surprise was KANK. Maybe coz , i went with so low (low? under the ground is more like it) expectations , or maybe they show AB Jr's wife sleeping with somebody else or mebbe coz Kajol, makes a delicious appearance.

All the Hindi movies we have seen at the theatre in Block M, where the ticket prices are 60k Indonesian Rupiah (aprox 300 Rs). The seats are very comfy, but the screen is small, and the sound system not so good.

For X-Men III , I went to the Planet Hollywood, which is quite good. Comfortable seating and good sound system. But in terms of value for money, Plaza Semangi theater takes the cake.At 25k the tickets are cheap , the screen is bigger and the sound system is top-class.

Have to try out the Ex-Plaza which is supposed to be the best theater in Jakarta. The seats stretch out ,and they provide comfy blankets to enjoy the movie in the lap of luxury.
