Grease at the Twilight Cinema

February 8th, 2009 Filed under: Life, Movies | Tags: Movies

Ivy and I had a great night out watching the 1978 classic Grease at the Twilight Cinema. The Twilight Cinema is a portable cinema complete with projector and giant blow up screen. They are screening movies pretty much every night for the next month in Hagley Park at sunset.

The night started off with Ivy and I stuffing our huge two seater beanbag (which Ivy made) into the back of her car along with some nibbles and drink. We arrived at the park about 30 minutes early in the hopes of getting a good spot on the grass, which we did. As soon as it got dark enough they started the film, but unfortunately had forgotten to turn off the subtitles and adjust the projector to match the screen size. After a couple of minutes of re-adjusting they restarted the movie to a round of applause.

I don’t have to tell you that Grease was awesome and everyone was enjoying themselves. People were happily singing along and even breaking out some dance moves during the Grease Lightning scene. It was a great night out and I would highly recommend it to anyone. In fact go and see In Bruges there in a couple of weeks time.
