The Movies
I am nowhere even close to someone whom you would call a movie buff, but I have been to the movies twice in the past two weekends and have surprised even myself. I don’t think I have done that ever earlier.
Meet the Robinsons was a let down. As was Eragon, which I watched, the week earlier. While the fact that I watched both these movies alone might have, in a small way, contributed to my general let down with the experience, I thought both the movies were genuinely not up to mark.
Eragon was like a Harry Potter gone all awry with characters who gave you the impression that the make-up artistes dozed off in the middle of their jobs, while Meet the Robinsons was just not up-to the expected Disney mark. Meet the Robinsons is a movie that the kids will find difficult to understand. Ironic, really.
Why did I even go to the movies then? I have been getting tickets and invites to special screenings of movies from TV Channels, after I have taken over from my ex colleague. While this is the sort of generosity you would, under normal circumstances, not say no to, it just gets even easier to accept if there are nice ladies who are thrusting these tickets at you.
Two not-so-good movies… but hey, what the heck…at least I got through two Sundays without complaining about not having anything to do.
Bring ‘em on..’em damn tickets, my dear ladies.
