Stephen King, Mexican Food and other ramblings

Well, my friend Dave and I went to dinner and a movie last night.

Dinner was El Sombrero's, a fantastic Mexican restaurant in Southington (with many margharita's thrown in for good measure), and the movie was DreamCatcher, by Stephen King.
Now, dinner was on Dave cause he lost a bet wtih me. Food and drink were great, and I had enough left over to take home some (food).

The movie was.... ok. Maybe a 6.5 out of 10 for me.

Keep in mind, I didn't read the book (never read any of King's books), but it seems in every single one of his movies that I see, there's one moment, when someone does something so incredibly stupid, so astoundingly idiotic, that it just kind of ticks me off and partially ruins the movie for me.

On the other hand, before the movie is about a 10-15 minute long movie called "The Animatrix" that was outstanding! It's an anime version of The Matrix that we both thought was great. Highly recommended.

Lots of good movies coming out soon, so maybe I'm just itching to see them:
Terminator 3
X-Men 2
The Matrix Reloaded
The Hulk
Pirates of the Caribbean

Have a great Thursday!
