The one with no subtitles

Marissa and I are finally starting to feel poor, so instead of going on some awesome adventure this weekend, we decided to make an adventure for ourselves right here in Zafra.  We finally checked out the local movie theater or as the Brits call it, the cinema.  Our choices were not very thrilling, but such is life in a small town.  There was Amanecer (Breaking Dawn), Un Golpe de Efecto (The Trouble with the Curve), Un Buen Partido (Playing for Keeps), La Vida de Pi (The Life of Pi) or some kid's movies.  We wanted something that would be interesting, but not too complicated.  The main reason for this is that unlike a lot of countries, Spain dubs their movies instead of adding subtitles.

In the end, we selected Un Golpe de Efecto, and for the most part, we weren't disappointed.  Overall, my comprehension was fairly good, despite the difficult accent of old Spanish men.  It is very strange indeed to watch people's mouths clearly speaking English words, only to have Spanish come out.  Let me just say Clint Eastwood, Justin Timberlake, and Amy Adams did not sound at all like I remembered ;)  All in all, it was a good experience, one that we are likely to repeat in January, considering how warm and toasty it was in the movie theater!
