Watching Robin Hood

I was doing some work in my office yesterday evening when a colleague opened my door without warning: "Hey, wanna watch a movie?" - well, I had actually promised another colleague that I'd be dating her to dinner. Anyway since she's also joining for the movie, what the heck. I said YES... two's a company (minus me).

I like watching movies with someone (at least one), and I generally go for sci-fi and comedy ones. A bit of romance is fine - tell me which movie doesn't include some kissing scenes in it? :-)

When was the last time I went to the cinema to watch a good movie? Last year, with my ex-wife. How pathetic! But I'm truly grateful for having these two friends who don't mind having an almost grey-haired man watching Robin Hood with them. One of them is single, while the other is single-on-weekdays only :-) You go figure out who is which.

At 4:58 p.m., I got a text message asking me to get the tickets for the 5:15 p.m. show. Arrgh! Why me. OK, don't complain... I had to get a parking space, then walk across the road to Melaka Mall, then take the escalator up, then walk to the other end to reach the MBO Cineplex. I got the tickets, and good seats too as there were only a few patrons.

The movie was quite alright but you sometimes need to make sense of what Robin Longstride a.k.a. Robin Hood (played by Russel Crowe)  is saying because he appears to murmur - thank god for the subtitles. Well, I'm not gonna do a review of this movie but I'd just like to say that I love the battle scene and there are some breathtaking views in the movie, too. Go watch it for a bit of excitement, humour and romance.
