Another Night at the Movies
i went to the movies today w/ Alexis, one of my students from summer bridge. we had been planning to hang out for awhile now, and today was our day. so i picked her up, and we headed to Fashion Valley to see what was playing there. we ran into Kris, another one of my students, while we were looking at what was playing. we decided to watch Ocean's Eleven, and we bought our tickets. since we had about another 2 hours til the movie started, we went to grab something to eat @ Sam Woo. after we ate, we headed back to watch the movie. funny thing happened...the film broke apart right in the middle...even funnier was that it broke apart right as they were blowing something up in the movie. well, after about 20 minutes, they fixed the film, and the movie was up and running. at the end of the movie, they gave us a free pass to see any movie we wanna watch in the future.

now comes my review...this movie was basically about some guys who are plotting to rob a vault common to 3 casinos in las vegas (pretty ironic considering i just came from there). this movie goes about tracking what they plan to do, and how they carry it out. it had a lot of big time hollywood stars, including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, and for you Mayrin, that one dude who plays Pacey in Dawson's Creek. my mentee Maribeth recommended this movie to me, and she didnt disappoint me. i really liked this movie...it just kinda sucked how i couldnt watch the entire movie from beginning to end (since it tore up right in the middle)...but i would definitely watch this movie again. my rating...9 boba balls (out of 10).

well...i should go to sleep now, since i have to take my car in for servicing and to get my door handle and lock replaced at 830, so for now i bid all adieu...stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)
