Movies, Books, Food...thats my weekend

Watched Fantastic Four this weekend at the theatre. Nothing extra-ordinary, but general "saving the world" stuff, but again fun. Jessica Alba wasn't here best though; she looks hotter with her natural hair color. Blonde, defintely isn't her. Movie was fun coz of the action, adventure - Marvel Comics special.

Also watched Chariots of Fire and Notes on a Scandal. Chariots of Fire - a movie about the passion for a sport was brilliant. Even at this stage of cinematic existence, this movie can stand out with it's clarity of depiction of the characters. Though non of the actors are a household name, their potrayal of the characters were a gem. Music is amazing - can listen to the title track any time, any place.
Notes on a Scandal - now this belongs to the genre of which there is but no genre. A spiteful old lonely lady, a school teacher who gets a bit more of what she bargainedd for with an affair running loose, and the ever jealous pangs with a tinge of revenge...made for awesome viewing. Defintely a must-watch for those who like their movies racy and innovative. Cate Blanchet, with her beautiful brit accent and the drop-dead looks turns out a fab performance, while Judi Dench is at her usual best.
Almost finished with Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Dreams - must say she is one fine writer. Her stories don't have the usual ending of good triumphing over evil or the happily ever after nor any sad climax for a ramping up storyline. The stories start and end at the same note; it's just the way it's written that makes for interesting reading.
Didn't try out any new restaurants this weekend.

Weekend went off quite fast; nowadays even weekdays just zip by. No more of waiting for the weekend. Don't know why, but before you know the weekend seems to be at your doorstep. Guess this is what happens, when you start liking what you do.
