Today (April 15) was a really lazy day. We (Anand, Melissa & I) decide to retreat from the world upon discovering that the local cinema in Sucre had 2 films playing in English – what a treat! I haven't been to the cinema in 4 months – since I left Ireland.
First film was Legion de Angeles (Legion in English). I can't remember the name of the actor but it was the guy who played Silas the monk in The DaVinci Code. Dennis Quaid, Lucas Black (the boy from the TV series American Gothic), and Kate **(can't remember her surname, the actress who plays McDreamy's wife in Grey's Anatomy) were in it too. It was awful. Basically the plot is that God has lost faith in humanity and orders the angel Michael to kill an unborn baby who will be the next Messiah. But Michael still believes in humanity and disobeys God in order to allow the baby to be born and save mankind. Lots of machine guns, zombies and really terrible script follow. Dont ever see this movie if you can help it.
Second film was Sherlock Holmes, the new one with Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law. Entertaining but I'm not sure if I'm fully comfortable with the slick and eccentric Holmes, he got a bit annoying after the first few chuckles. But I thought Jude Law was really good in it. I liked his chemistry with RDJ.
After we stumbled out of the cinema, me full of popcorn & coca-cola, we made our way to one of the tour agencies to book a mountain bike tour for tomorrow (time to do some exercise again) and then collected our laundry (very domesticated). Came back to our hostel, made dinner and sat down to watch our third film of the day: Motorcycle Diaries. Despite my previous reservations, I really enjoyed this film. I think it showed a very positive picture of the young Guevara and attempted to explain how & where from his beliefs were formed. Worth seeing.
