Movie # 1 - Once

We've been here several weeks now and Once is the first movie we've seen here. Kind of odd given how many movies we see in Athens. The first thing to note is that movies cost 10 bucks a head here. Ok, 9.50. Even at 4:45 in the afternoon on a Sunday. Interestingly, popcorn, etc seems similarly priced.

Once is an interesting movie that's playing with form a bit. Though not a full out musical, there is a lot of breaking into song to move the plot forward. We thought it was something like Before Sunset meets Rent. We both liked the former but disliked the latter, so it's perhaps not surprising that we had mixed feelings about this movie. The critics loved both and loved this movie too, so it might be worth a look if you liked them both too.
