Funny movie, that. Cute. Very cute. I watched this in the morning. It is about Vegas. More relevance on this later.

So at night, my family we went to Pacific Place to eat RAKUZEN, Japanese restaurant at the 5th floor.



I ordered Salmon Onigiri as a side dish. My first time eating an onigiri! (lame) The rice was very sticky and well, it was pretty okay. Not that great though.



My main dish! Chicken katsujyu, which basically is fried chicken cutlet plus egg topped on rice. Sadly it didn't live up to my expectations. There was too little sauce and I had to add a LOT of soy sauce and chili pepper just to bring some taste out.



My brother ordered Unagi Kabayaki set.




Whoa. Big slab of eel there. Again, not much taste. They didn't have enough unagi sauce on it, and when we ordered for some sauce, it took around 10 minutes just for the waitress to get it. And that was after we asked from 2 other waitresses. BAD SERVICE. I understand that it is a new restaurant, but it was already up since last week, and STILL bad service. Consider staff training.

My dad's order, Inaniwa Udon:



If I were to make a list of my favourite features of RAKUZEN restaurant, I would put the variety of food at number one. Especially Ayu fish, which I really wanted to try out. It's fish with sweet meat. And brings a lot of health advantages. I wanted grilled Ayu, but it was sold out and we ordered Ayu Tempura instead. It was still pretty good though.

Right. Back to Inaniwa Udon...

Notice it is cold noodle, like Soba. But it's NOT Soba.

Watch my father have his first try with this cuisine...




And he says...



Yay! =D Maybe you guys can order that on your visit to Rakuzen.

After dinner, we spontaneously bought tickets for the movie 21. No plans at all. Since it started at 9, we went shopping first.

M Pacific! The department store. Spell Jakarta Great Sale.
We saw this really cute Teenage Millionaire tee with the writing "Jesus is my Homeboy". Hilarious. But that's for boys. The one for girls says "Jesus walks with me". So I bought that.

My brother and I:





Look below! Aren't they cute??? I've always love those teddy bears. Never knew what they're called though :S



The movie starts. Turns out the movie is also set in VEGAS. I watched two movies set in the same place today! Ha!



I think the main character (what's his name again?) is very cute. Choi I find attractive for his style and his sunnies, which I love. Jill looks gorgeous!

The storyline is twisted, and shocked me several times. Overall I grant it 4 stars out of 5.

Throughout the movie though, the damn guy behind me kept kicking my chair!!! I was really pissed. I glared at him several times but he was too blind to his surroundings to notice. What was he, playing footsie with the girl beside him???

I was on the verge of giving him the finger. Fingering my big black bangle, I toyed with the thought of throwing that thing at his face. That would hurt, yes.



What is with people who have no courtesy in public anyways??? STOP KICKING THE DAMN CHAIR IN FRONT OF YOU!!! He's 20-ish and yet so inconsiderate. Anyways.





Lol. I watched Shutter this morning. It wasn't that scary. Wasn't too creepy. Wasn't "thought-provoking" as a review said. Well, maybe thought-provoking in the sense that after the movie was over, I didn't know to pity Megumi the ghost, or Ben. Both are at fault in some way :S

But what's with all this film remakes?

Personally, I like the original Asian versions of The Ring, The Grudge, One Missed Call, and people say Thailand's version of Shutter is also better.

Why remake it? =_=



Movie rating: 2.75 stars out of 5.
