mall cop

March 26th, 2009

A society’s willingness to reflect/educate on the world is directly proportional to the society’s feelings of its own security, particularly financial it seems.  It’s too bad that the two are so dependent.  A few seasons ago box office winners were Blood Diamonds, Body of Lies, The Last King of Scotland, etc.  Now we have major motion pictures about mall cops.  We’ve had two in a row in fact.

La Fiesta is gone.  Pho Dau Bo, a Vietnamese/Thai/Seafood restaurant takes it place.  Food is good.  Surprisingly fast.  Try it.

This movie is based on a book.  The author was one of the key writers in the tv series Sex in the City.  There was an episode where the dating theology was featured.  The author of the book makes a brief cameo in the movie, he plays the priest in the wedding.  Overall the movie is good.  There are some interesting similarities in the tv series and the movie that I’d like to point out.  I’m sure there are more so please add to the list.

- smokers are not to be trusted.  Carrie sneaked cigs while she was cheating on Aden.

- importance of home space.  big personal changes often coincide with reno projects

Really nice Italian restaurant with a limited number of tables.  The food excellent and a tad pricey but perfect for a special occasion.  The staff is well trained and attentive but not annoying.
