The Legend of Zorro

...and it could easily have been Four Brothers, let me tell you. It was a toss up between the two movies which one I'll see today, but I went with Zorro since I have no idea when the cinema will stop showing it. I hope Four Brothers will still be on next week, as that's when I'm planning on watching it.

Hmm...

Which brings me to a conondrum. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is going to be shown on the 16th. I've already made up my mind that I'm not going to class that day so I could catch it, first showing, if possible, and then I'll stay for three showings. Maybe. I want to stare at Daniel Radcliffe hehehe

Ah well...

So, Legend of Zorro.

I didn't understand half the dialogue coz they (read: Zorro and that kid of Zorro, Joaquin dela Vega and others) sometimes mumble and I couldn't hear the words. I did understand in the end, but heck, I want to listen in on the dialogue sometimes and not just watch for the fighting and the explosives.

Btw, isn't nitroglycerin supposed to be volatile? How come that vial didn't explode when Armand was handling it? Or when anyone was handling it, come to think of it. The train scene, though, was nice hehehe

So Alejandro and Elena got into an adventure together but separately, and there was this priest, either a Dominican or a Franciscan, who was quite funny. And also his bald spot. Really big bald spot on top of his head. The government guys, rather typical -- blackmail and do whatever necessary to protect the whole, never mind the little people who will get trampled on in the process, who Zorro protects.

The kid was cute, Joaquin dela Vega. I read the boy who played the role didn't speak a word of English before, but the director liked him so they cast him. And he had his own moves. Hah! the way he slapped that priest/teacher of his around in the classroom was nice. And that priest/teacher was in all probability a Jesuit.

So, anyway, I could have had an early day today, but I have to meet with a college friend late in the afternoon; she's giving me my invitation to her church wedding, which incidentally coincides with feifu's birthday hehehe Ack, have to buy a dress or a new top. Good thing there's such a thing as a sale these days. I'm thinking, budget outfit, which I know I can pull.

Yabang!
