Phoenix Theater

Background: Phoenix theater is an independent cinema in the city center. It is an intimate setting with a cafe on the top floor and bar on the lower floor. It's become quite apparent that no one in Leicester is expected to do anything without a proper lager. Myself, not quite in the ale drinking spirit, was quite pleased to find they served ice cream! Aside from a few sparsely located Baskin Robins I haven't been able to spot any decent ice cream shops.

The Movie of the Night (drum roll please)... Slum Dog Millionaire. Wow, what a production. I can never again complain about being cold, or being hungry, or being poor. The movie was moving, inventive and eye opening. I can only imagine what the lady next to me thought as I squirmed to shield myself from some of the intense images on screen. Not that everyone would have this issue; I suffer from a meek heart. If you haven't already see this film; it is a glimpse of one life in the slums of India.

Getting to and from the movie theater wasn't bad at all. I really feel like I'm getting a handle on the bus system and the layout of the city center. It's been easy sailing for today, at least.
