Secrets

In a pathetic attempt to take my mind off things that have happened recently, Stuart and I went to the cinema on Sunday and yesterday to watch 4 more movies in Cineworld. That's 8 films in less than a month. We're definitely making very good use of our Unlimited cards.

On Sunday, we saw The Karate Kid, starring Jaden Smith (Will Smith's son) and Jackie Chan. It was pretty cool. Jaden Smith acts like his father, which isn't a bad thing, since Will Smith is a pretty good actor. He's gonna grow up to be quite an idol for teenage girls, I bet. Jackie Chan was cool, as usual. Although the film was called "The Karate Kid", it really was more like "The Kung Fu Kid", which apparently, is what it's called in Asia.

After that, we had dinner in Tamatanga because we had 2 for 1 vouchers on the back of our movie ticket stubs. It was pretty good, but really filling. The restaurant even offered us takeaway boxes, but as we were going for another movie right after dinner, we had to decline.

We then went back to the cinema to see Knight and Day, starring stupid little Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. We got to the screen, thinking that there would be quite a few people there, but it was bloody empty. However, people came streaming in afterwards, including a bunch of noisy people who plonked down right in front of us, who thankfully shut up during the film.

The movie was silly and cheesy and quite predictable, but it made me laugh at some parts. I wouldn't exactly call it a flop, but it wasn't great either.

Then, on Monday, I met Stuart at The Cornerhouse after he finished work and we saw The Sorceror's Apprentice, with Nicholas Cage, Monica Belluci and Alfred Molina. It was typical Disney crap, cheesy and all that, but still pretty good. They had some good music in their soundtrack.

Here's one of the songs, my favourite from the film.



It's called Secrets, by One Republic. I think it's such a beautiful song. Kudos to whoever chose it to be in the movie.

After the movie, we went to Wetherspoons for dinner. I had my long-awaited all-day breakfast. I don't quite understand why they serve chips with all-day breakfast. Who has chips for breakfast?!

After dinner, we went to see Step Up 3D, which I think Stuart was quite reluctant to see. But it was pretty awesome. I wish I could dance like that. Obviously, in a film like this, the storyline is going to be shit as hell, but the whole point is to showcase the dancing, so it was great. Plus, the lead guy, whatever his name is, is gorgeous. :)

This whole "trying to take my mind off things" isn't really working. No matter what, I keep thinking about it. It sucks, and it's totally unfair.

Well, tonight Stuart and I are going to Mansfield to watch some movies with David and Hayley. Maybe that will help distract me.
