KT and Coffee: Speachless, singing and crying

Our movie list for 2011 (see below) wasn't looking as good as we wanted so we thought we'd end the year with a movie fest. Hell we were on holiday and the weather was decidedly non summer like.

So it was three days, three movies, three different cinemas. A more eclectic mix of films and cinemas I dare you to find.

First up The Whistleblower at Devonports Victoria palace. Like walking into a mates room - albeit a large room set up as a cinema with a wine bar downstairs. I loved that the guy comes and talks to you all, chats about the trailers and clearly has a passion for movies. The Whistleblower did leave us speachless, stunned and a wee bit depressed. One of those good films that you're pleased was made but leaves you aching at the horror of how we treat each other.

Singing after the muppets was clearly a jolly way to spend the afternoon. Did all the kids cinema enjoy it as much as us, I do hope do, plus I know how a whole new song to sing when walking up a tough New Zealand hill. This time it was large multiplex Hoyts that kept us entertained. They do have very comfy seats.

Last up on our movie hat trick was red dog at the Lido. (an interesting (aside) site I found while looking for pictures) Rainy morning and a popular thing to do. We'd heard good things about this film
and we weren't disappointed but me, who can cry at pretty much anything was really streaming tears. I'd thoroughly recommend it.
