Today is a pretty good day despite the fact that it’s Friday the 13th. I love hanging out at Old Pasadena. Good food, good shopping, and lots of beautiful people. What more can you ask for? The food at the Cheese Cake Factory are pricey but very delicious. I had the best shrimp pasta that I have ever tasted.

I am both impressed and disappointed with the movie, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. The computer graphics are simply mind-blowing. The skin texture looks so real, you can even see the veins and winkles.

The storyline needs a few more revisions. At the end of the movie, I was like “Huh? What? It’s over already? You call that an ending?” The movie has a strong resemblance to their Final Fantasy 7 PSX game: meteor, lifestream, gaia. In fact, the ending sequence looks like the ending scene of FF7 where Holy emerges.

Tomb Raider’s a pretty entertaining movie. As usually as with all other game-inspired, don’t expect much for a plot. The CG graphics could use some work. Now, why can’t I get Lara Croft to move like that? It’s funny that I was expecting to see Tia Carre’s face each time Angelia Jolie would turn around.

I was asked to show my ID when trying to buy tickets to a R-rated movie. The girl at the ticket counter was astonished when she looked at my ID. “I’m sorry, but you looked SO young!” she said as she handed my ID back. How does my parents expect me to act my age when I don’t even look my age.
