I went to see X Men Origins: Wolverine at the weekend. It was my friends birthday and we all went to Liverpool One. Before the movie we went Las Iguanas and most of us had an Argentinian beef burger. It wasnt the best in the world – it was abit lumpy and “gristley”.
Afterwards, we headed to the cinema. I was really looking forward to it even though the reviews had only been “OK”. Empire magazine and Total Film rated it at about 3 out of 5.
It turned out to be an “OK” movie. Good special effects etc but I found it too slow in bits. I know the film is called “Origins” but it spent too long with the build up story and stuff like finding out how Wolverine got his jacket etc.
As it seems to be the case for many Marvel movies nowadays there was a scene after all the credits. What made it different for Wolverine was that there is apparently 2 different post-credit endings. You can read about the endings here. (Dont read it unless you have seen the movie and you couldnt be bothered to stay all the way to the end).
After the movie, we strolled round the shop and had a coffee (or in my case a cup of tea). For the evening meal we were planning to go to Yee Rah but it was fully booked and we would have had to wait over an hour.
We ended up going to a nearby Thai restaurant (cant remember name). It was all very nice and we all ate too much. We all ended up going with the set menu. I had the one which had soup, a platter, rice, bean sprouts, 3 main dishes (green curry prawn, sweet sour chicke, beef and chilli), dessert and tea. I was stuffed!
We all headed home after this and travelled back to Manchester. I very enjoyable day!
I went to see The Dark Knight at the weekend with some of my ex-workmates. First of all the movie is VERY good! I was really looking forward to seeing the movie as it had some excellent reviews. According to 
Like I said its a very good movie but without Health Ledger it would just be a good action movie. (Almost Christian Bale’s batman voice is really annoying).
I went to see Wall E on Wednesday. I had heard very good things about it and some reviews saying it was the best animated movie EVER. Even Toy Story!!
