It is Due

Due Date quad poster

Interesting day today, went out with Shan Leong and Swee Yik, to watch a movie, at Golden Village located at Tampines Mall unfortunatelyYanin, Kai Wen and Angelina could not come. It was still fun though, the movie was pretty much decided between Swee Yik and I. Shan Leong did not really have an idea of what movie he wanted to watch.
Firstly he called up others to see if they wanted to come for the movies, the others did not. So it was just Swee Yik, Shan Leong and I. We in the end planned to watch 'Due Date,' a comedy starring the Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis.
Good Movie, I would say, damn those critics who think they so good at judging movies. I liked it and that is all I care to care about (tinge of incoherence there, get used to it).
We bought the tickets at 3 O'clock, the movie only started at 5, so we spent some time at the arcade with me trying my hands at a first person shooting game, a racing game and a game of Air Hockey (which was quite wasted because the puck went missing after a while).
After that we went to have a meal at Long John Silvers, felt kinda guilty eating there, but never mind, one cannot be too stringent. Then we just roamed around in a Toys R' Us and Popular Bookstore, flipping through books and stuff.

The movie went rather smoothly, not much to say, the theater was a bit cold initially but that got better.

After the movie we went down to the Basement of Tampines Mall to get some food, I did not eat anything. Anyway than the two others went home, while I set foot into Tampine 1 (for the first time) and spent some time at Times Bookstore. Then I just headed home.

Basic plot of the movie:
Peter Highman (Downey) is a successful architect and an expectant father
Ethan Tremblay aka Ethan Chase (Galifianakis) is an aspiring actor. It is also worth mentioning that he carries his father's ashes in a coffee can and later he scatters it over the Grand Canyon

Both the gentlemen metioned above are put on the no fly list and thus Highman is not able to fly to Los Angeles to see the birth of his first child, Highman's belongings are still in the plane so he is not able to drive. He ends up hitching a Ride with Tremblay and that is where all the fun (and trouble) starts. Really go and watch the movie, there is too much to describe in a few words.
