Saudi Jeans

As movie theaters are not allowed here in Saudi Arabia, it will take you some effort if you want to watch a movie.

I’m not a big movie fan. I think I’m just like a lot of people all over the world who are not movie-addicted but they would like to watch movies that may interest them when they can.

Every time I read or listen about a movie that I may like, I have three choices. The first is to go to Bahrain in a trip which takes only tow hours by car. Or I can wait until the movie becomes available on video or DVD. Or, and that’s what I do most of the time, I ask my good friends from KFUPM students to copy it for me on a CD-R and watch it on my computer. May be it’s illegal, but you can be sure you’ll get the best and the newest movies at the KFUPM geeks LAN!

Few days ago, I’ve watched “Lost In Translation“.

The first movie by Sofia Coppola, the daughter of the famous director Francis Ford Coppola, is a joy to watch especially after midnight!

I don’t want to go in details about the movie, but you may want to know that Sofia Coppola, the director/writer/co-producer of the movie, has won an Oscar for the best original script.
