The Da Vinci Code

Met up with peter on wednesday to catch the gala premiere of "The Da Vinci Code"; tickets which we got from joining the codebreaker race last weekend. we reached marina square pretty early, we ended up looking for somewhere to have dinner and found this:

Xin Wang Cha Chan Ting @ level 1 of Marina square. it serves mainly dishes that you can find in those small HK eating places and it's pretty interesting. not to mention that it's quite good as well.

ice milk tea

it says soup noodles in the menu, but im sure it's instant noodles. haha

but nonetheless, it's still good.

some dim sum to go along

this is good stuff

after dinner, we headed straight to the cinema at 2100 hrs for the 2120 hrs, thinking that we're early, only to find this:

the queue started from the usher point

down the walkway

and turns around, past the toilet towards the candy bar

guess it didn't help the fact that it was free seating, so everyone was rushing to be the first to get the best seats.

now on to "The Da Vinci Code", i thought it could have been better, considering that i've already read the book like twice, some of the more interesting codebreaking parts of the book were either shortened or left out entirely.

don't get me wrong, i still thought this show is good, but just a word of advice, if you haven't read the book, don't read it, watch the movie first.

overall, it's still a good movie, only that the chemistry between tom hanks and audrey tatou wasn't exactly very evident. i would give it a 7/10.
