Movie Day

Jen and I decided to permanently play hooky from our Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoon class in order to spend more time seeing the city and learning Hebrew. So, today, we figured we'd catch a movie (hey, we're tired and we need a break!) We asked our Hebrew teacher "Afo serit m-America?" (where can we find American movies?) She told us that they were "everywhere" and that we'd definitely find them at the Jerusalem Cinematheuqe.

Thus, we went home for lunch right after Hebrew class and, then, walked to the cinematheuqe. When we arrived, we discovered that the theater had two auditoriums and both were being utilized for the Jerusalem Film Festival, which lasts until the fifteenth.

Now, if there were showing cool Israeli films at the festival, we would've loved to seen a few but the films were simply independent films from around the world and we really didn't care to see films such as "The Kick," the uplifting subtitled German film about two brothers who beat a teenager to death. So, the cinematheuqe was not a success. So, instead, we bought a white board and marker to keep track of our to-do list! :)
