Harry Potter!


We saw The Half Blood Prince on Saturday. I don't know why but we booked for the 10:45pm showing, which means it wasn't over until about 1:30am. Normally, I wouldn't mind but I had yet to recover from my 13 hour work day on Friday! And then, this morning, I was woken up by a bunch of Canadian Geese honking like crazy at 5am! It was really weird, they would carry on for a few minutes, then be quiet for a few minutes, just long enough for me to start drifting back to sleep before honking away again! It even woke Steve up and he admitted it was very strange, he said something along the lines of "There must be a tsunami coming". I was too tired to tell him birds would just fly away, not stand there honking. Although geese are pretty dumb...

So needless to say, I haven't had much sleep recently! And you all know how I love my sleep so I have not been a happy camper. Anyway, back to Harry Potter...

I'm ashamed to admit I don't remember much from the book! I'm going to have to reread the last two books. So I was sort of watching it from a non-reader point of view and it was really, really good. Steve hasn't read the books and thought it was the best Harry Potter movie so far. Don't want to give anything away so I won't say much more. But I've heard the last book is actually going be split between two movies and I'm very excited about that because I was disappointed the whole thing is nearly over! Though I'm sure it would seem overwhelming to people who didn't read the books, I honestly think most of the books could have benefited from being split into two movies.

Mystery Movie Walk Out!

Tonight we went to another "mystery movie" (last time we saw the monthly mystery movie, it turned out to be Star Trek). Well, this time it was a movie called "Looking For Eric" which is sort of but not really about a former Manchester United player (reminder for Mom, United BAD, City GOOD, lol). Apparently, it's about some delusional guy who thinks the former player is his guardian angel. Not sure why anyone outside a United fan would be interested in this but stranger movies have been made.

Anyway, needless to say, Steve refused to watch anything even remotely related to United so we left ASAP and got a refund since we left within 20 minutes. But surprisingly, so did almost everyone else! I'd say about 90% of the viewers left, much to Steve's delight, lol.

Star Trek


Tonight, Steve and I went to see a "Mystery Movie" - it's a screening of a movie not yet out but they don't tell you what it is. If you're not happy with what it turns out to be, you can leave within 20 minutes and get a refund.

Steve thought for sure it was going to be Angels and Demons so he suggested going because he knows I really like Dan Brown books. So he was really pleased when it turned out to be Star Trek. But it does mean we now have no plans for Friday because we planned to see it then, lol.

It was a really good movie with some really good comic relief moments and classic Star Trek jokes. The Romulans looked different though, they're obviously trying to make them look more evil and scary.

Definitely go see it!
