On Sunday the movie Thelma was recommended to us.
It stars June Squibb as Thelma and has a great supporting cast.
Thelma is a 93 year old who is scammed out of $10,000 and sets out to get it back. I'm sure some parts are embellished slightly but it was based on a true story and we saw the real Thelma at the end.
On Monday we decided to go and watch it.
So on Tuesday we caught the bus into town, free for Gold Card holders, and arrived at the theatre about 20 minutes before the movie started. Tuesday is also reduced prices at the movies for seniors (sometimes being older has its benefits).
So armed with our popcorn and a coke each we went in and spent the next hour or two thoroughly enjoying the movie. If you haven't already done so and get the opportunity it is well worth a watch and had it's laugh out loud moments.
When it was over we wandered down to the bus stop and arrived about five minutes before the bus left for home. In all it was a very enjoyable time out.
Have a good week,
Diana
What a wonderful way to spend a few hours. And all subsidised
ReplyDeleteGold Card can be so useful LOL. I will have to go and have a look into theatres here. I've not been to the movies since before covid so not sure what is what any more. Have a great day :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the movie. Haven't seen it and haven't been to see a movie in years and years!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting movie. I haven't heard of it here in the states, but then, I don't really keep up with current movies. Sounds like you had a great time, and I would especially enjoy the popcorn!!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really interesting, Diana. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Glad you enjoyed your time out.
ReplyDeleteAnd, by the way, your header is SO pretty!
Sounds like a fun day out, Diana! Thelma sounds like a great movie, especially with a true story behind it. Love that you got to enjoy it with popcorn and a coke! Thanks for the recommendation—I'll have to check it out! Have a great week!
