McDonalds setting the trend

McDonalds is now open 24hours a day. The only thing that would make this better, is if you could sit down as well as drive through.

Amelia and I wanted a snack so off to McDonalds for 2 McFeast Deluxe Meals with a cappuccino and an orange juice.

The service was friendly, for the early hours of the morning, the food took slightly longer than usual, I would assume that it is because they’re not that busy, around 03:00.

I can’t wait until more restaurants catch on to this trend as people are spending more time working and we need to be able to eat at flexible hours.

The food was good, but was getting a bit cold near the end. We by far prefer sit down meals over take aways.

If you’re awake in the early hours of the morning, go down to McDonalds and super size it.

Hancock

Saturday means Scooters Pizza and Movie Special, so Amelia and I decided to take out Hancock. The Trailer looked cool, so we figured it’d be well worth watching.

The movie was fun and had some good special effects. The movie takes a few unexpected twists, which were both funny and appreciated.

I do get a bit irritated when they blow up cities and destroy things that could be avoided, it makes some of the scenes appear to be a bit overboard and even more unrealistic than they already are.

Even though it was not exactly what we had expected, it was worth the watch.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

After watching the first one, Amelia and I couldn’t wait for our chance to catch this one on the big screen.

What an exciting and fun to watch movie, I’m almost speechless.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, kept us holding on to our seats from the moment it started with action packed scenes and some really funny ones.

With the original cast and some good planning, this movie seamlessly takes off from where the first one left us.

The story line is good and engaging, and toys with history, a little like the way Da Vinci Code does but not in such a theological sense.

The visual and effects team have done an amazing job with this film, the imaging is simply incredible and believable.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is most definitely worth watching twice, I can’t wait for it to come out on DVD.

Seven Pounds

After seeing Will Smith‘s interview on Oprah and hearing them rave about the movie, Amelia simply couldn’t wait to see what they were all on about.

We looked for it in video stores a few times before finally finding it in, after ordering a Scooter’s Pizza, Saturday Special, buy two large pizzas and get a DVD for free. Now that’s what I call a deal.

I’m not sure if I should be happy or sad about this one.

Seven Pounds takes you on a slightly confusing, emotional journey which becomes almost predictable mid way.

This movie is graphic and thought provoking and you will catch yourself wondering who’s side you are on some of the time.

Seven Pounds reminds us of how important it is to be vigilant while driving, the huge impact of being an organ donor and most of all that we should appreciate every moment we have with our loved ones.

Life is short, so make is sweet.
