Movies in English

YouTube Preview ImageIf you’re in the mood to relax while watching a comedy in English this weekend, check out “Horrible Bosses”, playing at Yelmo Cines Ideal (C/ Doctor Cortezo, 6, metro: Tirso de Molina, L 1). The story follows three friends who plot to kill each others terrible bosses. As they have no experience as hit men, naturally, high jinks ensue.
If you’d rather see a more serious film, Bad Pitt’s “The Tree of Life” is on at both Yelmo Cines Ideal and at Renoir Princesa (C/ Princesa, 3 Y 5, metro: Plaza de España, L3 ). The story centers around a Texas family with three boys in the 1950s. The eldest son, Jack, attempts to resolve a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith.

I like shopping in the centre of Madrid and also prefer neighbourhood shopping to shopping malls. After my experience at the Vogue Fashion Night Out (VFNO) in Madrid, I wanted to share my experience and some tips for getting the most out of shopping in Madrid. Firstly lets talk about the Vogue Fashion Night Out: It is a marketing and promotional concept where shops open until past midnight in most cases, while offering a shopping experience in a party-like atmosphere. The Vogue Fashion Night Out is held at annually in in 16 cities around the globe not to mention fashion powerhouse destinations like New York, Paris, London, and Milan.

The corpus of Mozart sonatas for piano figures prominently in his output, forming a particular microcosm. Covering an extensive period of his creative period, the proposed integral audio which features this cycle allows one to discover the rich palette of compositional devices that explored the composer, to which is added the combination of piano performances and fortepiano.The concerts start at 12:00 at Fundación Juan March located at Castelló, 77.The Saturdays of these concerts will be the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th of October as well as the 5th and 12th of  November 2011.

Discounted Hotels and Vacation Accomodation at EasyToBook

Most of us have just come back from the summer holidays and will need to think and plan for our Christmas holidays. Here at the Cheap In Madrid Blog (CiM Blog), we are fully aware that catch cheap holiday deals and economic travel arrangements, including accommodation and flights bookings, require lengthy prior reservation. However, it’s always a breath of fresh air to find hotel bookers which offer up to 80% discounts without the need of several months of anticipation and booking. Im talking about EasyBook.com . I quickly warmed up to this hotel portal because of its high usability. Most of the available portals are really agobiante (Spanish for overwhelming). For instance this portal and its search results are available in 11 languages, with guest reviews,  pictures and even videos for some of them. You can even search according to the location or vicinity of attractions you want, whether it’s a businessman wanting a hotel close to Madrid Barajas airport or to a family wanting a hotel close to the theme parks in their destination city. The hotel results highlight some useful filter information which ranges from the availability of baby cots in the room, offers like 1 child can stay for free, continental breakfast or whether it’s a refundable deal or not.  I also felt confident reading the reviews especially because I could identify better with the reviewers since they are familiarly referred to as Younger Couples, Family with Kids, Groups of Friends, Individual Traveller and Family with Older Children. Im happy to book my December getaway to Amsterdam  with EasytoBook, because apart from the great discounts and offers, their accommodation descriptions give practical information of each hotel, inn or hostel relative distances to nearby to a monuments or other tourist attractions. That’s one thing less I have to prepare in the form of an itinerary. The portal is really true to its name, very easy and hassle-free to book with. Enjoy and share with other CiM Blog readers your reservation experience as well as your hotel stay experience on EasytoBook.com!
