What's the difference? Are they both correct? Sie kommt vom Kino. Sie kommt aus dem Kino.

Dear Kazuki, technically, both sentences are correct. The difference is hard to tell, without having any context around. "Sie kommt aus dem Kino." Means: she is coming out of the cinema-building. So she was in there. "Sie kommt vom Kino." may mean: a) same as above; b) if you are talking about a person, his/her background, profile, etc.: her professional background is cinema, not (as examples) theatre or radio. c) it could, I think, also mean: she is approaching from the direction of the cinema (and not the post-office or whatever building is on the other side of the road). Conclusion: Only context can tell whether one of the sentences may be better than the other or even wrong, or, what it actually means in the text available. Hope I could help.
