The Road at the Filmoteca

So tonight, Casey, Bev, Mariah, Alex, Cory, Taylor, and I went to the filmoteca (movie theater) to see a movie for one euro. We thought it was a pretty good deal compared to movie prices in the US and had heard the movie would be in English with Spanish subtitles. The movie was called The Road and Bev had read the book it was based on before so she thought it would be a good movie to see. Actually it was probably the most horrific movie I've seen! It was about the world after nuclear warfare had happened and these two main characters were trying to find a way to survive and find somewhere that had not been destroyed. There was one point with cannibals in the cellar of a house that I don't think any of us will forget because it was so disgusting!! Oh well. It was definitely an experience and I do not recommend the movie. Next week they are showing Toy Story 3 so that should be a much better experience.


In other news, tomorrow the whole group is going to Merida for the day. It is about a one hour bus ride from Caceres to Merida and we will spend the day looking at ruins from the time of the Roman Empire.

  1. How funny. Curt and I saw "The Road" and I really liked the movie. I like almost any movie that Viggo Mortensen is in! :)
