Watched Better than Sex last night with Maggie at the Aussie film fest. It's a movie with a plot that's been somewhat rehashed from previous films i've seen (About last NIght has a similar theme), but the progression of the movie reminds me a bit of When Harry Met Sally..., wherein they interject certain characters and pseudo-documentary conversations. David Wenham (Josh) reminds me a lot of Dennis Quaid, especially when he does his "shocked, frustrated" look, while the actress who played Cin(i forgot her name) looks a lot like a cross between Sharon Stone (must be the hair) and Heather Graham. Overall, it's interesting, light and well, fun, despite the review in the link i placed here.

Prior to this movie experience, i had to go through some difficulty getting in the theatre. Yep, apparently, they have this weird rule that does not allow anyone to get in the theatre once the movie starts. Maggie reserved a seat for me inside, but since i was late, i couldnt get in. What's more annoying wa sthe fact that i was trying to explain why i was late to a guard and he was looking at me like i was nuts. The thing was, he asked in English and i answered him in English. Turns out he may not have understood anything i said, which annoyed me even more because, hell, if you can't understand english to begin with, why the hell did you ask that question in that language in the first place!?!! GAWD! It was a good thing Maggie came out to get me because i would have just kept on picking on that friggin' guard.

Maggie and I had dinner at Cibo afterwards. Had the Yummy iced tea with Mint and Penne al Marinaio. Wow, just remembering it makes me hungry again (heheh). I don't know what it is about that place, i just love their food, and their service is pretty fast too! :-D Reminds me of the time i had dinner with my bf and his family (that was in Shangri-La tho). It was a fun night, i enjoyed myself immensely!

Spent the rest of the night watching "Bruce Almighty" and "My Blue Heaven" (the whole theme of religion-based titles/subjects is not intentional), a light and funny ending to my already interesting day.

yeah my friends who watched the aussie film fest said that aussie films suck. no offense to australians... maybe they bungled up the selection process or something.
