Movies!

So, I finally got around to seeing The Da Vinci Code.  A little more bloody than I would have wanted...but overall a pretty good movie.  I suppose it was a good thing I read it last summer...I think I would have been a bit lost otherwise.  Of course it wasn't as good as the book...but some of the lines were pretty good/funny...I don't remember them being in the book.

Anyway...when you don't have classes, you have a lot of time to watch movies.  So what have I watched recently?

I went on a Disney kick for a few days, so I watched some of the Disney movies I never got around to seeing.
I watched A Bug's Life.  Cute, basic storyline of the underdog saving the day...I was a fan of the fact that he invented new tools and gadgets...very MIT-esque.
And to add to my kids movies streak...Brother Bear.  I have to say, it got me a little confused about when/where the story took place (some time around the ice age or something?  All I know is there were mamoths and glaciers...maybe they were chilling in Alaska...)  I loved the moose brothers (played by the guys who were Bob and Doug McKenzie...if you have no idea what I'm talking about...hmmm).  So Canadian!  (hmm, maybe this was somewhere in Canada?)

I also watched Monsoon Wedding.  Good music.  There were quite a few story lines going on at once...but overall good movie.

Wow, I would make the worst movie critic in the world:  "The movie was pretty good, as movies go..."

Oh well, I'm pretty sure nobody reads this anyway...but I like posting anyway...I have the free time to do it now!

oh, and I'll even talk about a restaurant, too!

My friends and I went to Fajitas & 'Ritas before the movie tonight.  Mmm...fajitas....
Definitely good food...fast service when it came to getting the food...but I think I confused the waiter and he thought I wasn't done eating, so he didn't bring us our check for quite a while.

Well, that's it from me.  I should be sleeping (or maybe packing and cleaning).
