It looks like in April we will be leaving the US for Brasov. We have 2 children and were wondering if there are any cable stations in English. We were also wondering about movie theaters do any of them play American movies or any movies at all in Emglish.

Congratulations on your decision !
Generally the Romanian media uses for translation subtitles rather than dubbing.
Romanian cable companies have several channels broadcasting in English only (mainly news channels: CNN , BBC, Euronews ) and some in English with Romanian subtitles ( Discovery, National Geographic, HBO, Hallmark etc). Unfortunately children orientated channels (Cartoon Network, FoxKids) are usually dubbed in Romanian.
Movies, both on TV and in the cinema, are played in the language they were made in, with Romanian language subtitles (again, except for children orientated stuff, which is dubbed in Romanian - under the assumption that young children can't read).

all the movies and foreign channels have subtitles. don't worry everything is in english. it' s the same think in movie theaters and most of the movies are american and quite new movies so don't worry we are in eastern europe but the comunism era is long gone.
