Tonight Raju had a media screening of Tron. I'm not really into that type of movie, but it was showing at the new TIFF headquarters, the Lightbox and I had never been in there. Also, the movie was free so what did I have to lose? Before the movie we decided to have dinner at Nawlins on King St. W. I had never been there. We walked in and we were the only customers. We had the entire restaurant to ourselves.I wasn't entirely sure if I would find anything I liked as it is a Cajun-Creole restaurant. However I quite enjoyed it. We started with the Crab Cakes which were tasty (but I still like the ones Raju makes best). I then had the seafood medley, which consisted of Lobster, scallops, shrimp and calamari with jambalaya rice. I really liked it. Raju was not extremely hungry so he had soup and chicken livers. Not really anything I would like. We finished eating and just had to cross the street to the movie.
First of all we had to check our cell phones in. I guess it was because they didn't want anyone filming it. They didn't have to worry about that from my end. Then we received 3D glasses and finally went through a security check point.
The movie was over 2 hours and that was 2 hours too long for me. I just did not enjoy it. The acting was bad, I'm not into the game type movies (although I didn't mind Scott Pilgrim). Some say the visuals were great, to me it was just a bunch of lines. But hey, don't listen to me, I also didn't like Avatar while the rest of the world loved it.
However, it was an evening out with my husband and that was nice, so I really can't complain.
