If you are the type of Australian family that puts aside at least one night every week so that everyone in the family can get together and watch a good movie then you are to be congratulated for your excellent parenting skills. Many families are drifting further apart all the time, especially now that we live in a digital age and every teenager has a smartphone. It is important however that you don’t turn your back on technology altogether because when it comes to movie night, technology provides all of the answers.
We all want to experience the movie theatre experience and one way to make that happen in your home is to invest in a quality and affordable soundbar. This is what helps to surround you and your family with sounds coming from all directions and it really is like sitting in a theatre and watching the big screen. This is just one thing that you will need for the ultimate movie night here in Australia and the following are some others that you cannot ignore.
- The soft blanket – If you want to spend some quality time with your other half and to make movie night a little bit more romantic than it normally is then a soft blanket needs to be at the top of your list of things to have. Not only will it keep everyone warm on the cooler evenings that we experience here in Australia but it gives us something to hide behind when we are watching a scary movie.
- Buy a popcorn maker – We eat popcorn every time that we go to the real movie theatre and so there’s no reason to deprive you and your family of this essential movie snack. The great news is that popcorn makers come in all sizes and so they are incredibly affordable. It is so easy to make the popcorn and then you can control the portion sizes as well as the butter or salt that you add.
- A massive television – The bigger the better as everyone keeps telling us and this is especially so when it comes to the television that you want to watch movies on. Try to find the biggest television that you can afford and trust me when I tell you that it is money very well spent. It just enhances the whole movie experience and alongside your sound bar, it does provide the ultimate vision and sound experience.
- A bottle of wine – Unfortunately we are not allowed to drink alcohol in our movie theatres all across Australia but there is nothing to say that you can’t pop one of them open during your movie night at home. You decide if it’s red or white or maybe choose a few tins of beer instead.
If you have all of the above then your movie night is going to be a fantastic experience. Just make sure that you choose the right kind of movie for everyone.
