Just saw Star Wars: Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith. It is a great movie if you want to watch it because:

1) you’re a star wars fan
2) you like action & adventure with great special effects (LOTR standard)
3) You want to understand the human emotion/psyche more
4) You like fight scenes
5) You like the way Yoda talks

Do NOT watch it if you like acting, which was bland at times and bad at others. All of the actors were, save rare occasions, below par. Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen have the potential to improve, and gave glimpses of how good they can be. Both have extremely expressive eyes, and they used it to good effect at times. Unfortunately, those times were too few and far between. Sometimes, I thought the aliens in their masks were more expressive than some of the actors.

And somehow, Palpatines speech to the senate sounded tremendously like Winston Churchill’ speeches to the British people during world war 2

The company was great. Jasmine’s infectious laughter and sense of humour got me laughing quite a bit, not to mention that I thoroughly enjoy pulling her leg. Heh!

The plan was to meet at 640, have dinner than watch the movie, but due to uncontrollable circumstances, we ended up meeting later, having a dinner of popcorn, and then having dinner at yoshinoya Cineleisure (we watched at PS by the way…wanted to eat at The coffee club at cine but it was too crowded). We practically closed the kitchen for them. The cook had already changed to jeans and shirt when we ordered, and I don’t think they accepted any other orders after us.

But as I said, Jas’s presence made it all worthwhile. Thanks for a great evening jas!
