Cinema here sucks big time. We used to try and go see a movie every week. It was (and still is) dirt cheap, about 1 or 2USD to see a movie (usually the equivalent of a local bus fare, nothing compared to the outrageous prices in Europe, where it averages around 7-8€). The cinema in itself is quite comfortable and even still has a curtain going up at the beginning. But 
honestly, I don’t think we have seen a decent movie since we got here. You can usually choose from three movies, and it seems to me to have a pattern:
- One is usually a ‘black’ comedy, with the likes of Eddy Murphy or Queen Latifa.
- Two usually is a ‘Fast and Furious’, cars combined with bad acting and a storyline thinner than Pietje Puk
- And n° Three can be a kung fu movie, or a big hit, like the Sex and the City Movie, which will then stay on the bill for weeks.

We had to settle for 'Deception', which was pretty bad. But at least it makes for an outing. Anyway, still very happy we have a projector now through work so that we can show some less main stream movies at home...
