I went out to watch a movie at AYALA mall with my housemate, Romeo, this afternoon right after we finished cleaning up our dirty living room, and just before I came in the office. The movie is called Hide & Seek. I'm not really a big fan of Robert DeNiro. I'm rather a huge fan of the child star little Ms. Dakota Fanning. Great actress. I used the sole premiere ticket I won a few weeks ago and it saved me a hundred bucks. Shien. When we got in, the movie just started.

Now, if you are thinking that this will be just another amateur movie review, you are definitely wrong. I do that in highschool and some in college. And I'm really not much of a movie critic anyway so I'd rather be the regular movie viewer, sitting back on his comfy seat and enjoying the movie from start to finish. It's one way to stay happy instead of bitching about how the movie sucked or how crappy the actors did their parts. No siree. That's not me.

So anyway, for the most part, I was attentive to the development of the film. Sometimes, when I turn to ask Romeo something about the film, I'd catch him looking to his right. He was stealing furtive, if not obvious, glances at the guy sitting alone on the row across the aisle. Romeo whispered that he is cute. I said, "Uh huh." And went back to concentrate on the movie. I could still see Romeo from the corner of my eye that he couldn't stop himself from glancing the supposedly cutie across him. I tried to stare for a couple of seconds at the guy, squinting my eyes in the dark, trying to get a clear image of him, but could not. I was there to enjoy the movie, not to ogle at some guy sitting by himself from a distance.

When we got out, Romeo retorted that it was a good flick, not another kind of flick which has a predictable ending. I looked at him in spite. "Come on, you weren't even concentrating because your cute guy was distracting you!" He let out a laugh as we went down the escalators. At least, Romeo had fun, whether with the movie or with that guy. To each his own. But it made me think. It was not the movie I can waste to just something like that. Maybe some other time. Maybe I'll watch Savanah and do the same. What more can you expect from a flick with Penelope Cruz and Matthew McConaghuey? I'm sure it's a total bore. I've read the reviews. Who knows, another cute guy might just come in and sit across me? I might just get luckier than Romeo.
