Went to see a preview of Princess Diaries 2 at 6.30pm straight after University.
The film was a U-cert which made it clear that it was aimed at young children. This sequel focused on Mia's life after she had become princess of Genovia. She had just graduated from college, and now 21, it was time for her to take the throne and rule as queen.
However, there was a catch, Genovian law stated that you had to be married before you could be Queen. To make matters worse, their was a guy who was also eligble to take the throne.
Mia is given 30 days in which to get married or lose the right to be Queen. We see her agreeing to an arranged marriage to an English guy who is nice but she has no feelings for.
Meanwhile, she has a love-hate relationship with the guy who is also eligible to rule. At first the guy is working with his crooked uncle to make sure Mia doesn't get to be Queen, but deep down he has feelings for her and decides to stop sabotaging.
As with the fist film, there are many clips of Mia being clumsy and getting herself into silly situations. Witht he fairy tale ending and the over-the-top characters however, this film is mainly suited to young children - although older kids and adults may still find it amusing.
Overall, the sequel is not bad - however there is nothing that makes it really stand out - and you are left wondering why the film was released in cinemas rather than on DVD like other sequels which are just extensions of the orginal rather than good films in their own right
I would give the film a rating of 6 roars out of 10.
Went to Maroush in Edgware Road - for my friend's belated birthday. It was ok except not much of the food appealled to me - especially since i'm a vegetarian. Just had some lebenese bread and a yoghurt and hummus dip. I was going to try the falafel aswell but it didn't look too appealing when it arrived.
Never mind, my friends had a good time though. The presents we bought were spot-on - got her a poncho, some davindoff perfume and shower gel set, a chocolate thorntons cake and a mr. men chocolate bar - well I just forked out a tenner - my other friends chose the presents.
On Saturday I went to see my nan - she's in the General Ward now - she was looking much better and was back to her old self - or maybe even better! Only problem is that she needs to start walking again. She has been trying to get out of doing the physio that will help her to walk properly.
We also have to make sure that she doesn't drink to much fluid so they had restricted her intake - she used to drink lots and lots of water before - too much - so she is finding this bit hard.
The faster she gets back to walking, the quicker she can go home - I hope she gets com[letely better so that she can come out of the hospital.
Today, woke up early and when to see a free preview of the film - Man On Fire - at 10.30AM! Was a really good film - I like the actress who plays the little girl - oh and it stars Denzel Washington.
The film was set in Latin America and was about kidknappings. It was an 18-cert -probably because of the violence in the second half... not bad for a free movie.
I will be going to see Bride and Prejudice - for FREE - on Tuesday at 6.30pm - well, as long as I can rush from uni to the cinema by then.....
BTW anyone with Sky or NTL - FilmFour channels are coming FREE for this weekend!
