Every 4 months or so, my best friend, Grace, returns home from NZ on vacation. Without fail, we will take a trip to Europe. Spain, specifically.
More specifically - MANGO of Spain.
This was us last year: THEN: Gracey with long hair, long fringe, a dazzling smile and 2 large shopping bags.
THEN: Me with mid-length and copper brown hair, muscular (check out my left bicep man... yuk) and one large shopping bag.
And to see if things have changed: NOW:Gracey with long hair but funky short fringe, a cheeky grin and 1 large shopping bag.
NOW:Short, black hair with a don't-know-how-to-describe pout and 1 small shopping bag.
Trend: Hair gets shorter and shopping bags get smaller! Maybe next year I will don a cropped do??!
Last night, Grace and I caught the summer blockbuster "Batman Begins". See her reaction to the new Batman (played by Christian Bale): "Wahhh..."
When I first read that he was going to be the latest Dark Knight, I went "Christian WHO??" I didn't know what to expect for this prologue of the first instalment of the comic book adaptation (played by the curly hair Michael Keaton).
For the other instalments, the outcome of the movies were increasingly disappointing. With George Clooney and Chris O'Donnell in Batman & Robin (and not forgetting the very corny Batgirl), there was no doubt that the movies couldn't get ANY WORSER.
And thank goodness, Christian Bale lived up to the heroic portrayal of the caped crusader. I once thought that Val Kilmer was the best Batman, but looks like I may be wrong!
The movie is excellent: thrilling, gripping and humorous in the right places. Don't miss it!
On the other hand, Initial Dis easily missable (if there's such a word).
I haven't read the comic so I'm pretty clueless about the story behind the film but the movie didn't help me much... the plot was thin and half of the scenes were blurry images of cars on the race track.
Lacks the adrenaline pumping power and glitzy glamour of The Fast and the Furious. The show's watchable, if 7 bucks is not too much for you to spare, but then again, it kinda seemed like a 2 hour extended MTV of Jay Chou; minus the music.
(Looks like Jay's waiting for me in his car ya?)
