Well last Wednesday was Movie Club again and we all went to see Animal Kingdom. It has received great reviews, but we weren't overly impressed. The acting was great, Joel Edgerton, Jackie Weaver and Ben Mendelson were amazing. But the movie was so damn slow!
It was quite graphic in some scenes, which I guess we knew but just didn't leave feeling like we'd seen a really great movie.
I am still glad we saw it though, it really does get you out of your comfort zone being in a movie club.
A highlight of the night though would have to be the hot chocolate! We went to the Como and the cafe that is in the cinema is so cosy and inviting. The first time we went there I ordered a hot chocolate with marshmallows and got a rather abrupt "we don't put marshmallows in our hot chocolates!". We didn't argue, but when we got our drinks we suddenly realised why they didn't put marshmallows in and that was because they were absolutely divine!!
Marshmallows would only spoil it. So now if anyone chooses the Como as our Venue I start thinking about the hot chocolates from the morning. I think it's my turn to choose next so might aim for something quite upbeat and fun, we need a good laugh after that one.
