"13 Going On 30"
[Music || Toya, "I Do!!!"]
So, the good news was after I typed the last blog, Nai called me up to say our group meeting was cancelled! I was kinda bummed out because I wanted to go to the 2:20 p.m. showing of "13 Going On 30" but then I remembered there was a 3:00 showing! So I immediately grabbed my stuff and ran out of the room to get to the bus. I've never been to Century Theatre so I wasn't sure if I should take the school shuttle and walk from the bus station or just take the bus. I chose to take the bus since I assumed it would just drop me off directly in front of the theater! Bad choice! The bus took me to the same bus station, so I had to walk the same distance to the theater if I had taken the shuttle (only I had to pay $1.25 for the bus fare, whilst the shuttle is free).
Anyway, I left my room at 2:45 and by the time I walked to the theater, it was 3:15. I missed the beginning of the movie so I was like "Okay, I'll just go to the next showing at 4:15 instead of watching 'Kill Bill Vol. 2' since that was the only thing showing at 3:30, the closest showing time." I haven't watched the first "Kill Bill" yet so I didn't want to watch the second one. Also, I wasn't too crazy about going to watch it; I wanted to watch Jennifer Garner's big screen headliner debut which looked uber-funny!
To kill time, I looked around the area (not much to see) and sat down near a baseball field (very peaceful). Today was such a nice day. I started to get hungry so I contemplated going to Fuddruckers next to the theater. It looked like a clean and relaxing place to eat. Finally, I decided to go in for a small bite and a drink. I already ate a small lunch at noon so I wasn't all that hungry. I settled for a basket of onion rings (spots on my face tomorrow!) and a glass of Vanilla Coke! It was so good because the food was so unhealthy! I loved sitting there and eating slowly, letting time slip through my greasy fingers from dipping the onion rings in ranch dressing.
So here's my take on "13 Going On 30."

I finally saw "13 Going On 30" today and lemme say, it's a crowd pleaser! The most fun you'll have at the movies thus far this year... it's a movie where the laughs DELIVER! Well, I'm sure you would've guessed from the hilarious trailers.
The movie debut at #2 this weekend, a close finish tailing "Man On Fire." I'm not sure why it wasn't #1, but this date flick is going to have legs. If the mediocre "How To Lose A Guys In 10 Days" could cross $100 million last year, "13 Going On 30" will have no problem.
Jennifer Garner is so charming!! She's great in this role and her kiddy acts doesn't come across as "forced." At first I dissed her "Thriller" dance in the trailers, but that scene turned out to be a RIOT! Everybody was hollering in their seats. Even though I'm a Garner fan via "Alias," I'm sure she's won over everybody who watches this. She comes across as a sweetheart, perhaps the next Julia Roberts as the media is early to bill her as.
So go watch "13 Going On 30," you won't regret it! Great music in the movie too! The only thumbs down was Liz Phair's "Why Can't I;" is it a requirement for all romantic comedies to use that song now? I've seen at least 2 other movies prominently use that song.
Some of the trailers shown during "13 Going On 30" were "Raising Helen" (it looks mediocre-ish; starring Kate Hudson), "The Stepford Wives" (my most anticipated movie of the summer! the trailer ROCKS!), "The Notebook" (read: "A Walk To Remember" clone), and "Little Black Book" (a dud starring Brittany Murphy and Holly Hunter).
I've never watched "Big" so I don't know how similar it was to "13 Going On 30."

After I got back to dorm, taking the free shuttle, I got my Shane Nicholson DVD in the mail! Yeah! (Punches fist in air)
