I went to the drive-in with my wife the other night to see “Brave” and “Avengers”.
Cheaper tickets, junk food from home and a comfortable place to sit. So much better than a walk in theatre. Also at my age (57) the drive-in is no longer about hiding in the back row trying to get some, or dealing with squirmy kids to keep an eye on so we actually got to see the movies. “Brave” was cute, funny in places, perfect animation and had a moral. Just what you’d expect from Disney and Pixar. Good for kids of all ages. “Avengers”, I thought could have been a longer story, split into two movies, seemed rushed. Some characters from the comics were missing too. Over all it was a fun movie; I just wanted more.
There was some entertainment provided by the other movie goers. The poor sap in front of us forgot to run his engine now and then (no window speakers/tune to radio station instead) and had to call a tow truck. This was after he’d already given a jump to another car whose battery had died.
All in all a good time. Don’t know why more people aren’t going to the drive-in, it’s worth the late night and the desperate need for coffee in the morning.
