Iron Man and Dinner

I watched Iron Man. I was accompanied only by Nilu since certain other people ditched their friends and watched the movie with their family already. The same certain other people ditched us yesterday as well for very whimsical reasons.

Anyways, the movie was really good. Nice special effects. No unnecessary sentiments that are now becoming mandatory in super hero movies; which in turn meant that the movie was fast paced and didn't sag at all.

But one thing though, I just cant see Robert Downey Jr. as a super hero; any hero for that matter. Though the role doesn't call for any acting skills, I felt let down by his expressions and voice modulation.

We watched the movie at Mayajal, which by the way, finally has a new food court with decent brands in it. After the movie, we had our dinner at PitStop which is a restaurant designed on the lines of the joints in the USA. We would have seen many such setups in the movies from the 50s and 60s. But the food was really bad and service was equally worse. The only good thing there was the restroom!

The next movie to watch would have to Speed Racer. And once again, I would have to go only with Nilu since certain other people would surely give some vague excuse and watch it with their family!
