Back To Cinema

It’s been ages since I went to the movie theaters. Or it seems that it has been ages. Everything seems like ages these days. It has been ages since I saw Christine and Hoda. It’s been ages since I spoke to Asif or Manil and many others!!

Anyway, so I was back at the theaters on Saturday. I went with Dania, who I haven’t seen for ages too!
And we picked to watch The Constant Gardener (Ralph Fiennes & Rachel Weisz). I think we were out of our minds!
The Movie was not bad. It was very good. It just was extremely depressing and upsetting. We came out wanting to go to any UN organization, enroll immediately and go to Africa! Then I remembered the scenes with the garbage and litter everywhere and I thought hmmm maybe just help from the comfort and cleanness of Dubai!

My rating: Go see it! Just take with you LOADS of comfort food!


When I came back from work on Sunday, and on a sudden whim, Hiba and I decided to go and watch a movie! Just like that! Since it was on impulse and we were in old jeans and tops (especially me!!), we went to the emptiest place we could think of: Ibn Battota mall! Once there, we were faced by choosing between watching The Man or Cheaper By The Dozen 2. The Jews movie one, as Ashton Kutcher was not in the sequel of Cheaper by the Dozen.

Of course and as usual, Hiba and I had to fight with someone. This time was with a Russian w**re as Hiba called her who jumped the line at the confectionary stand. Mind you, Hiba didn’t call her that immediately, she only resorted to that after my talking to her politely at first, then shouting in her ear that she is rude who wouldn’t dare do this in her country and that she should go back there and complaining to the manager because the salesperson helped her. I repeated So Rude while Hiba repeated "the truth" for few times. It put us in a good mood for the movie!

The Man (Eugene Levy & Samuel L. Jackson) turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It was funny! Not White Chicks funny of course, but funny! Sometimes the punch lines were expected, but I’m not complaining!

My rating: Go watch it if you are not into Science Fiction movies which are all over the theater and you want something to laugh at!
