The West Wind Drive-In is one of Billy's favorite places to catch a movie. Primarily because we practically always go and splurge on food and snacks we can bring with us. This is an outdoor drive-in theatre so your seat is going to be either your car or the chairs you bring along. The tickets are much more affordable as you can watch two movies for barely the price of one in a regular movie theatre! They have double features going on every night and I'm talking new movies! Tuesdays are even better with their Family Fun Night discounts. They also do have restrooms, a snack bar, and a playground for the little ones. 

Tonight we went the childhood horror movie series throwback with their new features.
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
This is, as the title of the movie states, the "Final Chapter" of the Resident Evil series. This is their 6th movie installment. For anyone seeking to start this series, it is about the zombie apocalypse brought upon the world by the T-virus that was released from Umbrella Corp. and Alice is the main character trying to take them down. In this final chapter, there's not much humans left alive on the face of the Earth. Alice must now return to where it all started - The Umbrella Corp.'s Hive to stop them from their final strike and end the apocalypse once and for all. There were some twists thrown in here and there - fear factor wise, not the scariest of their series but it was more so for the storyline.

Underworld: Blood Wars
This is the 5th of their movie series. For those seeking to start the series, this is about an eternal vampire & lycan war. Selene, a trained and true vampire death dealer, is betrayed countless times; finds love only to lose them; works to end the eternal war between vampires and lycans. This movie is action-packed and continues the storyline of the series. I liked this film - but then again I'm a sucker for vampire movies.

Split (2017) @ Cinelux Almaden


Split (2017)
Watch the Trailer here - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4972582/


The Cinelux Almaden Cafe & Lounge theatre is a nice local place to catch a movie. The theatre we were in had leather seats with a little give to them and it wasn't too packed. It looks like they have special discount prices for Matinee, Students (with ID), and on Tuesdays that're worth checking out. 

Now onto the movie - Split is a great psychological thriller worthy of a big-screen viewing. Split is about a man who suffers from multiple-personality disorder. Now by multiple...I mean 23 going on to 24 different personalities; each identity fighting to be in the "light". One of his personalities abducts three women as a sacrifice for his up and coming 24th persona. These women are trying to escape - but they never know which persona they will be encountering next. Its got a great storyline going on with back-stories to follow to dive you deeper into the characters. It's educational borderline exaggerated but it definitely gets you thinking and I would recommend this movie. Fair warning, this is not a typical horror movie if that's what you thought it may be - it's more on the psychological thriller aspect.
