Movie Marathon
I went to the Wood Green UGC cinema yesterday and signed up for their Unlimited Movies pass at £11.99 a month. Even if you see just two movies a month (usually £7-ish each) it works out cheaper. I made it worthwhile in a day - I saw three yesterday - movie marathon.
First saw The Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian. I thought it was a good film. Main takeaway: don't mess with nature. I haven't read the books yet so can't comment on whether they are the same or different.
Next, we saw Hancock starring Will Smith. Interesting film with supernatural powers. Didn't know what it was about when I went in, just heard everybody saying it was a good film. Didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would and it was quite predictable.
The best of the day was the third film we saw, The Forbidden Kingdom, the first on-screen pairing of Jackie Chan and Jet Li. It was a great film with deep roots of Buddhist tales. It was a standard plot with a young hero getting whisked away to another land to achieve a mission but nevertheless it was a well-told story. One quote stood out for me: "Music is a bridge between earth and heaven."
