I spent yesterday afternoon in the cinema (I went to my favourite one in Wandsworth Town which has 14 screens and is very comfortable) and saw 3 films. First was the wonderful Eagle Vs Shark, a very quirky love story in New Zealand. It had a similar style to Napoleon Dynamite and Garden State following outsider Lily who has a crush on Jarrod. Very funny and unique, I definately recommend it. After that I saw Rush Hour 3. It was more to fill the time between two films I actually wanted to see. After seeing Eagle Vs Shark I watched the opening scene and thought shit this is going to be aweful. After it got going a bit though it was really good fun. The usual Jackie Chan/American side-kick movie, it had some excellently choreographed fight scenes and jokes. The plot wasn't great, but it didn't stop it being good fun. Chris Tucker even kicked some ass and wasn't reduced to bumbling American. George the French cab driver was a great secondary character addition. License to Wed is another comedy about a couple who want to get married. They sign up to a marriage course which the reverend (Robin Williams) makes mandatory for all couples who want to get married in his church. It involves driving blindfolded while the other directs, looking after creepy robot baby twins and word associating with the in-laws. Good fun but actually not as memorable as Ruch Hour 3.
