We were super excited to have this theatre so close to our place in Lanikai. We went on a Tuesday…read moreafternoon around 3:30 pm. The prices were a little bit cheaper due to it being a before 4pm showing. We easily parked outside the theatre. We got a large bag of popcorn and a drink. The prices seemed reasonable to us. The viewing theater was cozy and clean. The projection was good and so was the sound. Our recliners were a little sticky but I brought a towel to sit on. The air conditioning was perfect. We enjoyed our movie and will definitely be back.

What could make it better would be getting food delivered to your seats but we're not at that stage yet. I don't go to the movies as often as when I was younger. Partly because movies nowadays have a somewhat quick turnaround being accessible on subscriptions like Disney plus. Ticket prices have gone up too. Although we don't go often, the experience does become extra special.

The seats come with tables, so you can enjoy food while watching your movie, which I thought was a great touch. I came here to watch Devil Wears Prada with one other person, and I was honestly a little surprised by the ticket prices. For just the two of us, it came out to about $40, with each ticket being around $19.50, which felt a bit pricey. Other than that, my experience was decent overall. I didn't get the chance to try their food this visit, which was something I was looking forward to, so I'd definitely like to give this place another chance and experience the full dine-in option next time.

"Spider-Man Brand New Day" made its debut while we were on vacation in Oahu! So naturally, we had…read moreto watch it! The nearest theater to us was Consolidated Theaters, located at the Kahala Mall! If I'm being honest, this theatre is pretty old and dilapidated! There was a funky smell in the air as soon as you walked into the theater (old and moldy). The paint on the railings as you walked up the stairs to the theaters was peeling off and rusty (not aesthetically appealing at all). Service was quick and easy. Prices were reasonable ($15 per adult). And the popcorn was about the only thing that was fresh and good, sadly! I will say, the seats were very comfortable! We had leather seats that reclined and personal cup holders to place our beverages (that was pretty awesome). The movie itself was the real highlight of our experience. Spider-Man Brand New Day was the best one ever! Can't wait for the sequel... oopsy! Spoiler alert!

This was my first time at Village Market and I'll give it a 4/5! We got there around 5:30pm,…read moreshortly after it opened and there was still plenty of parking. Initially, our main goal was to get Taho from One Three HI, however they were not there so we didn't get to have any Taho. HOWEVER, we did one lap around and ate some other food: TAKO4U: It was the first time I had Tako4U and we had the Yakisoba and the Most Valuable Chicken (aka MVC, which was Karaage Chicken) with the Honey Mustard mayo. I didn't get to try the Yakisoba, but the Karaage Chicken was really yummy. The mayo and karaage flavor didn't over power one another too much, so it was a nice balance that also maintained the crunchiness of the chicken. Additionally, I followed them on instagram and we got five free Takoyaki balls with the Yakisoba! The Takoyaki was definitely a bit bland, but still delightful nevertheless. ISLAND MANAPUA FACTORY: This vendor was also a first time for me, and I would say it was okay! I'm a HUGE fan of bao buns AND char siu, so I was really looking forward to trying their Char Siu bao buns, but it was alright! The bao bun itself was really good--quite fluffy and the perfect texture, but the char siu slices were unfortunately a bit too thick and it was cold and hard to chew. Next time, I'll try the chicken and duck, but I do think that the char siu slices should be a bit thinner! I will say that if you are wanting to try different bao buns, you are able to mix and match if you want, which I didn't know until after I ordered! THE AGUA BABE: Also another first for me, and it definitely was my favorite vendor of the three we tried today! We had the Lava Cloud, Lilikoi Dream, and Ube Paradise and ALL THREE were absolutely AMAZING! The drinks were light and such a perfect pair with any dinner/dish at the night market and their flavors were SO on point. The Lava Cloud was very coconut heavy while the Ube Paradise was mostly horchata, but with the perfect amount of Ube Poi drizzle to add a fun twist. I WILL be coming back to try all the other different flavors for sure! The vibe of the entire night market was so precious! The live music was awesome and the singers were pretty interactive with the crowd, and the family friendly vibe was awesome (there were a ton of kids having fun today which was such a fun sight to see). Even though it was my first time at the Village Market, I WILL BE BACK and will definitely be trying all the other vendors! :)

Not the biggest nor the most popular but one of the best for foodies…read more Huh? One, the market schedule is consistent. Every Saturday 17:00-21:00. Pearlridge. Old Sears parking lot. Two, it's not overly crowded, you will always find a seat in the large, covered eating area to enjoy your finds. Booze and live music a plus if you're into that. Three, the vendor list is not booked solid with regulars (ie What the Truck where you will see the same vendors event after event). This means lots of new, first time vendors or those from other parts of the Island who can't get a spot at the sold out, established markets. A reliable IG post of the exact vendors who will be at the Market the morning of allows preplanning; who to visit, what to eat, even if it's worth your time. Additionally, the price to be a vendor must be low meaning generous portions and reasonable prices (if you attend a lot of these events around the Island, you'll quickly learn when the price of participation is high, food quantity drops and prices are several dollars higher). Add a great layout with plenty of space, a handful of family friendly vendors, and onsite local kine friendly security and it's a solid experience. So yeah, not the biggest, nor the most popular but one of the best for foodies.

4/6/2018 HiFF: "Jimami Tofu"…read more Just to clarify: that next time you hear "foodie" make sure to remember this film: "Jimami Tofu" I will no longer associate anything else in my head on the idea of food films till I see one better than this in "food" concept films. There have been a few but this one has connections to humanism and coming of age. Or the concepts of life! No Awesome romances/ no direct humor. And even as good as "Tampopo" was for me, compared to this film It's missing the hint of "secret sauce" that should be the love that comes from the chef and his connection to that food. "Jimami Tofu" has that. It's that extra intuition, the "ahha moment" in culinary when you know- adding or Leaving out something is best. If you want that divine intervention of "Love" unabandon, the chance to break free from authority to give your self the chance to see it through without boundaries. This film speaks it endlessly. As individuals we can forgot our beginning roots and have formulated walls and specific speculative thoughts / perspectives. Your Food in up bringing grounds you. It beckons the extra memory of what we loved, how we loved and who we were loved by and vise versa. "Jimami Tofu" has resolved that somewhat critical thought: critics are hated for being like this--- and shows us the audience what's important to our lives and what passions get contented through with food! HiFF has chosen great films Like these and I found the ratio of English to Japanese a real fresh treat through out. I'd love to see this film Again! Thank you HiFF for letting us "Foodie yelper Elites" come and experience such impeccable storyline as "Jimami Tofu"

"Such A Scream" - Tom Waits…read more For a screaming good time (15 minutes), come to the Haunted Plantation to lose your voice if you're easily scared, just don't expect a lot of scenery. PARKING: You have to park on the street on Malakeke (free). Don't pull into the parking lot of the Haunted Plantation thinking you can sneak by, you'll get turned away or caught. Crossing Waipahu St was like being in a live Frogger game; only later did the police show up to direct/stop traffic for pedestrians, which was very much appreciated. I don't want to be a real live ghost at the corner after being squashed by a speeding motorist. PRICE: $21.00 cash only. You have reserve your time slot online, then go in person and pay up the cash. Stand in the line that leads up to the metal cubicle that opens up to magically reveal a table that will take all your money. ATM on premises. TOILETS: Port-a-potties. Dark too. Don't drop your phone into the abyss. DRINKS and THINGS: It was really hot in October. We ended up buying bottled water for $2 at the "snack cubicle" - another metal cube that had water, juice, candies for sale as well as those glow stick necklaces that light up and make you an easy target in the dark for the actors to scare. PHOTOS: No photography or video recording inside the HP. They are serious. If you get caught they will escort you off property. ATTRACTION: you wait in line at the entrance of the tunnel that leads you to the many cute plantation homes, the paths are lit with those mini candles on the ground. If you're lucky you're going on OCT 28, 203 SATURDAY on a full moon, so you can see better. Each home has a bunch of scare actors that dart across you, come up to your face, skittle on the floor, jump out from behind doors and corners, slam and pound the floor and boards. WEAR SHOES. One of the actors meant to slam the floor with his foot only to stomp on my husband's (protected) foot. Scared people may back into you and step onto your feet as well. If you're easily spooked, you'll get a lovely thrill and scream your head off. My son didn't scream once, but he's not easily scared. My husband screamed once. I screamed the whole way. I wish there was more scenery other than dark dimly lit rooms. There was only one memorable one, a barber-shop that had some light in them. If the owners of 17A are reading this, let me come do the mood lighting for future haunted plantations, I can make the houses a LOT scarier with blue, green, purple, red or orange lighting or a combo. I do my own haunted scenes at home and use theatrical lighting to make things pop. TIPS: Take cash, pee/poo at home, wear covered shoes, drink cold water in your car before walking over, wear diaper. RETURN FACTOR: Only if my vocal cords can handle it.

Must go! Great experience, super scary, wait was not super long. It made sense, the actors were…read moreamazing I was scared. Went with a group of friends and we all loved it! Wouldn't recommend bringing anyone 12 or younger unless they're a scare fanatic. It was the attraction so all there is, is a big line to get in, an atm cause it's CASH only, and the spot to pay for the tickets. SLAAYYYYY

What a great opportunity to see several Ghibli movies at the Historic Hawaii Theater. Guessing…read morethat most people attending have already seen the movies at least on DVD, but to see it on the movie screen is a great treat that cannot be missed. The real question for many is which movie to see (if not all, right?)- in our case we decided to see "Spirited Away". This has always been a personal favorite and we were lucky to have seen it when it first came to the big screen in 2002. They also have special items for sale on the second floor connected with the Miyazaki movies. Many talented artists have their wares displayed for purchase (Support local!) and as a bonus- they have a free photo booth that takes three pics and includes a Film festival header pic. Nice memento of the festival. Side note: We have been to Hawaii Theater on many occasions but for live performances. Back in the day, before it was saved from being demolished I would go to see Saturday morning kids movies and monster/ Science fiction movies in middle school. The theater is great, restored to it's former glory. The sound system is great, the ushers, concessionaires, and everyone connected with the program is top notch and mostly volunteers. This is a well run operation and is a great venue to enjoy live performances and film presentations. The Miyazaki Ghibli Festival presented by the Hawaii Theater Center is indeed special and very enjoyable. There is one more movie offering on Sunday, 7/10. Check it out if you can. Mahalos to Yelp and the Hawaii Theater Center for the comp. tickets. A great movie opportunity that we really enjoyed.
