The infamous Adventure...

So our plans did change a little, instead of seeing two movies we only saw one. Can you guess which on we chose. Inkheart of course. It had a higher priority than My Bloody Valentine 3D.

Our day started with meeting for lunch at 12. We went over to the Kensington Pub.It is pretty much my favorite place ever!!! We had their poutine and steak tidbits which shockingly enough were REALLY good. Just little pieces of Sirloin on garlic toast with a tomatoe slice and some sort of sauce that they put in a dish that comes with it. NUMMY!

Then we made our way to crowfoot which is a little ways away from where i live. We first brought andrew a crave cupcake because well, why not. They are soo damned good. Not that he needs it.

We went and bought our tickets for Inkheart, we had a few adventures on the way. Jess calls them attempts to kill her. I admit there were some steep parts but mainly it was ok.

OOOOHHH and the best part. We were coming out of the bank and went to cross the street but we didnt see a crosswalk. So we went to the sidewalk and waited for traffic to go by and have a clear opening for us to cross. All of a sudden the first set of cars that came by stopped for us and we were like.... ummm, ok. Then jess looked over and there was a crosswalk sign. HAH!. We crossed at a crosswalk and didnt realize till we were actually on the street. LOL!

*that was a major highlight*

We meandored our way to safeway grabbed some junk food and then off to the movies!

Mikes View "Australia"

So me and jess went and saw the movie Australia directed by Baz Lurhman, starring the brilliant Hugh Jackman and the so so Nicole Kidman.

I really liked this movie a lot. It had a lot of different elements that made for a very well written movie. Hugh Jackman did an amazing job. He was clever, fun, dramatic and all in all fantastic.

I am not usually a fan of Nicole Kidman but she did a really good job in this movie. She was funny when the moment needed it and was incredible when the scenes got a little to intense.

I love the little kid who place nallah. He is just a gem.

The movie did have its downside. It is 3 hours long. After about 2 hours you just get this urge to look at your watch and ask yourself when it will end. But then it gets even better. I am not one for epics but this had me all the way through. I had to pee near the end but i just couldnt bring myself to get up and go to the bathroom because i didnt want to miss anything. Unlike jess who did have to get up and pee half an hour to the end.

If you are skeptical as it is a Baz Lurhman movie put that skepticism aside and go see this film without prejudice.

Kurt this means you. Go see it.
