What a tiring weekend that was. I’ve got loads to tell you, so we start scribbling here.
Angels & Demons
I had a halfday leave from work last Friday due to some errands with Mom, then I went to meet our high school friends and planned to watched Angels & Demons, which premieres on that same day. Since we decided to play Left 4 Dead first, we decided to pick the last full show at the cinema. We spent the past two hours shooting down those zombie-like elements which attacks us by horde, and little by little I am getting a bit better at the controls and enjoying the game so far. Bad news struck when we left the café for the movie. I’ll tell you what, all the cinemas showing Angels & Demons were all full! Okay, that was quite disappointing. So we planned to meet up again first thing the next day to grab tickets and the best seats. Eventually, we did 
. After grabbing the precious tickets we headed down the grocery for a few grubs during the movie. Remember how we read this book roughly three years back? We both got really hooked and was looking forward to the movie itself, and here it is, three years later. It was sad I wasn’t been able to watch it with you, but at least our friends are there to keep me company. I was really excited when the movie began. It was really well done, and to be specific, I enjoyed the musical scoring as well. Having picked out the Dolby cinema, it was really exciting hearing heart-pounding beats during suspense scenes. I also felt a bit disappointed in it, having a lot of elements modified and ommitted from the novel itself, but the modifications are more than good enough to suffice. Everyone of us enjoyed the film, and the expensive price we paid was worth it. It was a long movie, actually. It ran for more than two hours. And here’s for the record – it was the first time we watched a movie that we weren’t been able to “empty” our grubs because we were so focused on the film, we’ve forgotten to eat them. 
Thanks to them, again I learned to appreciate in going out to the movies, which we both rarely did during the past. We’re having frequent movie trips lately, watching almost anything we think that would be worth watching. During the past few months, we have watched a good variety of films, ranging from the hilarious Bedtime Stories to the action-packed Push. We even planned to watch the sequel of Night at the Museum around next week, I’ll be looking forward to it!
EDIT: Here’s the movie pass we’ve got. My friends and I have got the best seats in the theatre, being in the centre of the theatre itself, with no obstructions in all directions and a good view of the big silver screen. For those who knows this mall cineplex on the ticket, go read the details and see if we’re all on the same theatre! xD It was bloody expensive, to be honest, but it was really worth it, especially on Dolby cinema… am I getting too redundant already? Apologies.
Left 4 Dead!
Don’t get me wrong on this one, it’s like movie-watching as well! Just like how they influenced us with Counter Strike during our old high school days, this time it’s Left 4 Dead. They’re both from the same developers, but this time I enjoyed Left 4 Dead a whole load more than Counter Strike. The campaigns are diverse, but I was once confused with Blood harvest and Death Toll because they were both rural-based. The gameplay experience is just great, so great that there were times I was jumping out of my seat in surprise everytime a horde of zombies gets through xD I even fancied the movie posters for each campaign! Each of them looked just great!
I wish I could play this game on my PC, though. I better pool up my savings for an upgrade!
