And the list grows

Missed one midweek ...

But more than made up for it with the next two ...

The first one we hung out at a bar where they were playing a kind of different techno. Anyways the waiter obliged by writing us out the name. We walk into soundscapes and two minutes later walk out with the album. That made the night for us :) Oh, and the food was tres excellente. So far the restaurants on our strip of College strip has been just getting better and better.

The last trip we went in vowing to rent only two movies but after another sumptous dinner at Bar Italia (highly recommended by the way) we ended up with about 22 :)

Anyways the list of movies has grown and grown ... and it will take a while to work our way through all of it.

Oh and in between we caught the opening night of the LOTR musical. Oh!my!god! what an experience. The lighting, the sets, the score everything was amazing. And at 3 and a half hours the two intermissions were most certainly the highlights of the evening :)

On to the movies

Scarlet Pimpernel. A period piece that deviates a bit from the Orczy novel but remains true to intent does a decent job. Worth seeing definitely.

The Warrior. A Korean/chinese period piece. Good battle scenes, and well shot. And it's got Zhiyi Zhang as the princess

The Zu Warrior. Tsui Hark outdoes himself on this one. Lotsa mystical stuff, flying folks and a villain that breakfasts on souls ...
