This evening I went to see National Treasure: Book of Secrets at the cinema. I haven’t been to the cinema in a while and was surprised at the new “price structure” – £7.00. That’s bloody extortionate! No wonder people pirate films!
Anyway, the film was good – kind of a mixture of Indiana Jones, Oceans Eleven and James Bond. Some interesting facts I found out having watched it…
- Anyone can meet the President of the United States simply by sneaking into his party in a dinner jacket
- Likewise, you can get access to the Queen’s private quarters by hiding in a “dumbwaiter” lift
- Everyone in England either speaks like Queen Liz or a character from a Guy Richie movie
- You may have enough gadgets to make James Bond jealous, but you still don’t have a camera phone
- The elderly make surprisingly good adventurers
- If you and your wife are having relationship problems, forget marriage counselling; simply go on a long and dangerous adventure – a guaranteed way to solve your marital problems.

This morning, he sat in this run, silently watching a movie I put on. He was enthralled! The title of the film... The Velveteen Rabbit!
I don't know if it'll beat his all time favourite - Keeping Up Appearances - but as far as movies go, he loves this one.
I have already found something...

I can't wait to see this.
Claire and I will definitely be making a trip to the cinema for this one. I wonder if we'll be allowed to bring Roman...
