lights....camera...action!!!

The end of my exams marked me taking up semi-permanent residence in the cinema. I’ve become this blob of protoplasm that just vegetates in front of the silver screen just because I have a life and couldn’t think of a better way of spending this new found freedom that I have on my hands.
The Kingdom of Heaven was pretty good. Orlando Bloom has successfully salvaged his manhood and redeemed himself with his portrayal of Baillion. …well maybe not entirely but it was definitely better than his Paris alter-ego in Troy. Then of course there were those over-rated …oh so clichéd romantic comedies that I have to sheepishly admit, I thrive on. Monster In-Law….. (seriously could you come up with a more cheesy title for a movie….) was so-so…. And Wedding Date …the male version of Pretty Woman in a nutshell. Speaking of which Monster In-Law is sorta like My Best Friend’s Wedding but instead of the neurotic, territorial best friend you have this ever smothering, ever protective, ever domineering MOTHER!!!!!!
Hmmm and of course I’ve seen the latest Star Wars instalment…and as I am not one of those Star Wars PhD holders, I thought it was pretty good. The only thing that was driving me up the wall was how Natalie Portman so overplayed the damsel in distress role……….. honestly… and this is coming from me who looks for the romance in every movie I watch. YODA ROCKS!!!

Its the best feeling in the world to lose yourself in movies.....the cinema, my sanctuary:)

You like Star Wars?!!?!!??

It completely desecrated the memory of Darth Vader... I mean come on...the first words said to him by the emperor after his transformation was "Can you hear me Vader?"..what is he doing...checking for reception?

P.S Guess Who was not too bad.. watched it?
