The wednesday film club which i organise went to see Syriana last week. Yeap, on wednesday, that's why it's called "wednesday film club". It's wednesday because Orange has a special offer: 2 tickets for the price of 1 for its customers. Anyway ... Syriana is a film that keeps your brain active, wondering what the heck is going on and who are all those people. At some point I felt so frustrated as I couldn't understand the relationship between all the characters in the film, yet they were introducing new characters. You also need to know about the history of the region in order to understand some parts of the film. I was expecting more though.

Next wednesday, the club is going to see Tsotsi, the Oscar winner for best foreign film this year.

In the weekend ... more films. The world's fastest indian is quite a good film. Anthony Hopkins makes it shine. He said this film was refreshing for him. No sex, no violence, no guns, no killings. Sounds boring, huh? Well, that's what I thought too, but the bubbly character keeps you entertained giving the film a delicious humour which saves it from the cold shoulder of the viewer.

I've also seen on DVD 2 older films: Adaptation with Nicholas Cage playing a double role. Quite good. Also Birth with Nicole Kidman, quite interesting too.

On Sunday we went to see "The hills have eyes". It's full of gratuitous explicit violence which makes your stomach gurgle in disgust. There was a comical aspect too, but not from the film. During the view, they suddenly turned the lights on. We were all wondering WTF, when a guy comes in to tell us that we need to evacuate the building. We did, and once in the street we realised the funny side of it and the lack of respect for the customers. No one told us anything. We decided to go home, the film was for free as we had unlimited cards, but the poor people that had to pay for the film... We still don't know what happened.

Today, nothing much happening, the plan is to go to the gym. I've started again going to the gym last week, this would be the 4th time. I really need to go to avoid becoming a vegetable. I would also like to go swimming, but I'm so lazy... I've also taken decisive action in organising football again, but the sports hall is all booked during the weekend. I might be able to book it starting at 11am, but that's usually an impossible hour for many of the joyous drinkers indulging themselves in the regular friday binge.

Come on, you're asking for it... what happened to that theory that your muscles burn fat by just sitting there?!?
