If you are looking for a cinema, the nearest one is in the 21 Cineplex at the Mal Bali Galleri or Planet Hollywood Complex on Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai, near the road to Sanur. Most mainstream blockbusters are shown in their original language with subtitles and the tickets cost IDR 20,000. The weekly freebie "What's Up Bali" publishes the programme. There are also the wisata 21 complex in Denpasar, not far from Tegal bemo terminal.
Meanwhile, Matahari department store on Jalan Legian no longer operates as a shop, but its ground floor is jammed with arcafe games and usually packed out with kids.
Video movies are feature at numerous bars or restaurants, particularly along or near Poppies II. They are pretty loud and easy to find, and they start as early as 3pm. With a new movie every couple of hours. Other places show live sports telecasts.
The Bush Telegraph Pub which is located on Jalan Dhyana Pura 10, Seminyak is a cavernous place where staff dress in awful blue-and-yellow branded Fosters-beer uniforms. There’s a big screen and the focus here is on sports coverage, including live crossovers to Australian Football League (AFL) games on weekends. You can also tuck into Australian steaks, hamburgers and general pub fare.
Bali Globe Sport Bar & Restaurant on Jalan Dhyana Pura 9, Seminyak is a breezy, relaxed place to hang put. It has pool tables as well as Starsport and other cable sports channels. The menu is typically international.
There is also Latino’s on Jalan Benesari. It is a spacious open-air pavilion that offers billiard tables, a big screen and an international menu. If enjoying the beautiful sunset is your desired entertainment, then you should go to Kuta beach in early evening. In the evenings plenty of people head down to the beach or seaside cafes to watch the wonderful sunset. Be in place by about 5:30 pm, for a sunset between 6:15 and 6:45 pm. The area in front of McDonalds and the Hard Rock Cafe can be a bit hectic with touts selling spearguns, henna tattoos and massages. Going north, the hassle drops exponentially, with the Legian or Padma Beach area being a wonderfully relaxing place to watch sunset.
