Day at the Movies - Various (incl. The Ring & The Transporter)


Recommended Posts

Yesterday, I did something I have'nt done in a while. I watch four movies in row. Back to back.

I had promised myself that I was going to take the entire weekend off because I've been under a lot of stree lately. Since there's no such thing as relaxing in my household, I decided to go the therapeutic route and headed out of the house. If I was in NYC, I'd just go wandering around. But Florida being what it is, you have to frigging drive everywhere to find anything to do.

So, I grabbed the newspaper, put the top of my car down, climbed in and headed for lunch. Determined to make this a relaxing day.

At lunch, I mapped out a plan of action which had me seeing four movies in a row and with barely minutes between each one.

Here is what I saw:

  1. Red Dragon @ 1.15pm - 10/10
  2. The Tuxedo @ 3.25pm - 7/10
  3. The Transporter* @ 5.25pm - 10/10
  4. The Ring (sneak preview) @ 7.30pm - 10/10

The theatre I go to has stadium seating, awesome sound and the works. I had packed my own snack, plus a canister of iced tea, which I snuck in between two rolled up mags (Maximum PC and Game Developer).

Man, it was great!! I got home a little before 10pm, took a shower, raided the fridge, watched the news a bit. And passed out.

*what? surely you didn't think I'd see that once, did you?

It was scary as hell. Its a typical scary movie sans the gratuitious gore you find in modern day movies which are supposed to be scary.

If you like the genre, you should definitely see this one.

WARNING. This move is NOT for the weak hearted!!!!! Yes, its that scary in some parts.

I'm waiting for Ghost Ship
