Pan's Labyrinth

Bought a new eye-liner on the way back from Keighley today. Told Fi that Farid, Kamarul and a few others are going to watch Casino Royale tonight. Since I am not a big fan of Bond, I didn't really feel like watching it. But I told Fi that I want to watch the Pan's Labyrinth, which advert I saw on tv while watching LOTR last Sunday. It so happened that the review came out on Metro this morning, and after reading the review she said she wanna watch it as well. So I said, okay, but not today though.

But suddenly we thought, oh well, might as well go and watch it tonight. I mean, yes, I've got things to do, but I prolly won't do them anyway. So we went for the 6pm show. Bought the tickets, then we went to McD for burgers since I'm so hungry - got a free hamburger with my NUS card - which I offered to her (she's so gonna blame me if she put on any weight :p) since I obviously cannot eat that.

Anyway, so we went, watch the advert and trailers and the certificate came out. You know, the cert they show before a film started - and strangely the title was written in 2 languages. Hmm that's a bit weird - plus the cinema wasn't full either, considering that the film just came out yesterday, I was expecting a bit more people. Then the film started, in Spanish, with subtitles, I might add.

Surprise, surprise! No wonder not that many people come and watch it. The film is in flashback mode, and I think it was brilliant. It's like Narnia cross over with some military stuff and a touch of horror. And I think it's brilliant!! Strongly recommended, but I have to advise you not to bring any kids with you. Yes, the main character is a kid, but, the movie is kind of disturbing in some ways - or as Fiona said it 'the most disturbing film I've seen in a while'..hehhe.. But I think it's not as disturbing as Exorcist. No regret at all. I'm more satisfied with this movie that the last Harry Potter actually (and I'm a big fan of Harry Potter).

hehe.. I think enough advertisement for today, hmmmm... maybe they should consider paying me for this. What do you think??
