Friday Night Flick
January 25, 2010Liberty has been hosting free movie nights for their students for many years. This past Friday's movie night was in the Vines Center and featured Where the Wild Things Are and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.
The free movie night is a wonderful idea for us poor college students and provides an opportunity for guys and girls to get together without having to spend money. Because guys and girls cannot go into each other's dorms, it can sometimes be a challenge to hang out without paying to go out to eat or see a movie. However, Liberty is great at providing free activities for students just about every weekend.
There was a huge turnout at Friday's movie night, with about a third of the large Vines Center filled. The students sat in the section with the comfortable padded chairs and watched the flicks on one of the two big screens, just like at an actual theater. In fact, Student Activities even set up a concession stand, which was a whole lot cheaper than the one at the movie theater!
Most of the students were quiet during Where the Wild Things Are, and I overheard some negative comments about the movie, but there were many laughs and cheers all through Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. There is something really fun and enjoyably different about going to a "theater" where you can see a movie with hundreds of classmates instead of a room full of strangers. I would definitely recommend attending all of Liberty's free events!
