Clash of the Titans(Babies)

It was suppose to be our first movie night after the babies had arrived. Ever since the little ones arrival we had not had much free time but now that they are more than 3 months old and a little bigger and easier to handle (or so it seems) we decided to catch a movie and leave the babies with my sister-in-law together with the maid it should not pose much of a problem as the little ones have stayed at her place before.

As we had complimentary tickets to catch a movie in the GV Gold Class, it was our second free set of tickets the first being something we won at an event and this one was given to us by a friend as a form of appreciation for helping out with her wedding. I picked the current show being shown in the Gold Class which was Clash of the Titans. Its something the misses wasn’t too keen on seeing since as she said “you know, I probably will not understand all this Greek stuff” but nevertheless it was our first movie outing in months and an adventure type movie, well I could not ask for anything more ….. or could I ?

We dropped the little ones off, the missus went for a facial since we had the afternoon and evening free. I checked out some comics and toys the local comic shop before picking her up to head on down to catch the movie. We did a little bit of shopping before the movie started and that was when we got a call from my sister-in-law saying that the kids were throwing a fuss and not sleeping and it could be that they were not used to the place, she suggested taking the kids back to our place. So we rushed off down to her house but by that time the kids had quieten down and were both fast asleep. In the end we decided we could still make the show and off we went again.

We arrived about 20 minutes late but with all the trailers and stuff I think we may have missed the first 5 or 10 minutes of the show. Anyway we decided to have our dinner and the missus went to order our food. I told her just order anything she liked for me and her. She came back saying that she had ordered a set meal which consisted of an appetiser, main and dessert. The food came to our seats. We had the chips set as appetizers and a seafood basket as our main. The ice-cream and brownie came later. It was suppose to be a set for 1 person but it looked a lot and luckily we shared the set. The seafood basket consisted of wedges, calamari, prawns, crab stick, spring roll and chicken wings. It was pretty good spread or as the missus said “I think I enjoy the food better than the movie.”

If you are looking for a review of the movie, well lets just say I’ll not spoil your surprise, go watch the movie.

Always better to get the babysitter to your place rather than the other way round.

the movie was entertaining, the effects were disappointing. The only thing 3D is the subtitles.
