My step-brother hasn't been sleeping here for the last few weeks.
Apparently he's been staying with his new girlfriend, whom he had been seeing while still with the previous girlfriend (bastard). He's in his mid 40's, and his new squeeze is around my age, but his previous girlfriend was his age.
Sounds like a midlife crisis to me...
I caught up with a friend for lunch at The Old Bailey and we decided to go and see a movie. It was a choice between this and Jumper.
The action in the movie was almost as good as the action between some patrons in the cinema.
About 20 minutes into the movie, a teenage boy at the back of the cinema started talking on his mobile phone, not bothering to get up and go outside, so another guy a few rows in front, got up and tried to usher the kid out of the cinema. Obviously the teen didn't want to go and he and the older guy had words, threatening to knock each other's lights out. The older guy then physically dragged the kid out. All in all it was over in 5 minutes, but entertaining nonetheless.
Plot: David Drayton and his young son Billy are among a large group of terrified townspeople trapped in a local grocery store by a strange, otherworldly mist. David is the first to realize that there are things lurking in the mist...deadly, horrifying things...creatures not of this world.
Survival depends on everybody in the store pulling together...but is that possible, given human nature? As reason crumbles in the face of fear and panic, David begins to wonder what terrifies him more: the monsters in the mist - or the ones inside the store, the human kind, the people that until now had been his friends and neighbours?

3 movies with 3 different people in 2 days. I'm exhausted!
Went to a special screening of this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. The girl that plays Maya is the same girl that was in Signs with Mel Gibson. If you thought she was a scene stealer in that (remember the glasses of water?) then you'll love her in this.
Just don't take your man if he's not into 'chick flicks' but is definitely a must see for gal pals.
Plot: Will Hayes is in the midst of divorce when his 10-year-old daughter, Maya, starts to question him about his life before marriage. Will recounts to her the story of the three women who have shared his life. As Maya attempts to figure out which of the women became her mother she begins to understand the complexity of love and Will realizes that it's never too late to go back.
I won double passes to this - I actually entered a friend into a radio station competition as well as myself and we both won! We have been trying for several weeks to see this film, but it has been hard to find a time suitable for all 4 of us. I ended up giving a pass to someone from work and went and saw this with another friend from work.
There's a scene where the polar bears are fighting which is tad disturbing in a children's film though. The special effects and the scenes and scenery is just amazing.
I can't wait for the next installment.
Plot: An exciting fantasy adventure, set in a parallel world where people’s souls manifest themselves as small animals, talking bears fight wars, and children are mysteriously disappearing. At the centre of the story is a 12-year-old girl, Lyra, who sets out to find and rescue her best friend, Roger, and ends up on an extraordinary quest to save not only her own world, but ours as well.
Instead of our normal catch up over Vienna Chocolate in Osborne Park, Chook & I decided to go see this instead. I've been hanging out to see it for a while. I never got around to seeing Katherine Heigl in Knocked Up (will see it next 'movie night').
I think the scenes with the cab driver in the beginning were hillarious! Overall a very enjoyable film.
Plot: A woman who has made a career out of being a bridesmaid – but never a bride – faces her worst nightmare when her sister becomes engaged to the man of her dreams. Luckily, the wedding brings around the man who may change her bridesmaid status for good.
