Long and busy day today. Went to the mall for 1 to see my beautiful niece in a fashion show at the store where she works. It was like the paparazzi when she walked down the runway, between me, her mother and her grandmother lol! Sis and i then drove across town and had a tea and sweetie in Starbucks in the bookstore before going to the movie. We decided on seeing Will Smith in Hitch and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Back across the bridge to dartmouth to go to Boston Pizza for a nice meal. Good pizza though a bit pricier than take out from a neighbourhood piizza and kebab joint but it was tasty.
Hitch was funny and we both like Will Smith. I can't honestly think of a negative thing to say about it. He plays a "date doctor" helping men find their feet and confidence dating women. He's very good at knowing how women th ink and feel and what they want in a man but he's crap at his own love life due to, so we are led to believe, a failed romance from his college days. He was a geek and fell hard for a girl who clearly didn't take him quite as seriously. He gets dumped and he never lets himself get close enough to feel again. Do as i say, not as i do, appears to be his motto. He teaches a chubby tax accountant how to get a fabulous famous blonde star to notice him. It turns out she secretly feels as awkward and dorky as he is. He turns down an ignorant sod that turns out to be the man that loves and leaves the best friend of a journalist for a tabloid paper, the woman Hitch is falling for. He tries to use all his expertise to get to know her, things go horribly wrong. Every date they have, tanks to the depths. His job is more or less secret, he does business by referrals and the "Date Doctor" seems to be a New York myth until a remark by the ignorant sod comes to the ears of the journalist who digs out the truth without too much trouble. I'm not really spoiling it by saying in the end they get together after a series of miscommunications because you know this is a romantic comedy and that's the way they all end.
The movie was one giggle after another. Nice light comedy which was very well put together we both thought.
Saw a trailer for a remake of the Longest Yard, a football pic from ... um.. the 70's i think with Bert Reynolds. He's going to be in this one too and one of the main characters is Adam Sandler. I don't remember that the original was a comedy but this looked funny. Another new animated movie, Madagascar, is about some animals from a New York Zoo that get shipped out to a remote island after an escape escapade. They then have to figure out how to be "real" animals in the wild instead of pampered New Yorkers lol One joke made me chuckle, referring to the new arrivals on the island as giants and later as the New York Giants. *snork* We were sitting a little too close to the screen and watching the two animation trailers (one for "Robots" as well) made it a bit hard to follow the zippy distortions that the animated characters do.
Tonight had a chance to give
lola_is_naughty's new webcam and microphone a maiden voyage along with a brief but fabulous view of downtown toronto night skyline, CN Tower included. Wow!
So now it's off to bed to curl up with a book. *byebye*
