9 jul 2013, 8.42pm - movie

 today, i went to the cinema for the first time in Australia.
my friend asked us to tag along to watch Lone Ranger. i didn't know anything about it, except that Johnny Depp was in it.
good enough of a reason to watch!

 we went to Hoyts at Carousel. the student ticket was $12 for a Tues afternoon. ouch.
and we got Despicable Me 2 stickers for free.
 Monsters University promos.
 The Lone Ranger and Man of Steel posters.
 Despicable Me 2 things in the hallway.

The Lone Ranger was really good for a Disney action movie.
it was humorous, had violent and awesome action fight/chase scenes, gave the ladies some toughness, and acknowledged some of the terrible things done to Native Americans.
it was a lot like Pirates of the Caribbean, but i liked this one a lot more.

looking at the reviews, it is true that the movie was too long and over-stretched.
but silly Lone Ranger and quirky main character Tonto worked for me.
 oh Johnny Depp. :D
and Armie Hammer is beautiful. XD

then we went to eat at Grill'd, as recommended by my friend.
 nice interior.
 the menu.
 my 'baa baa burger' - lamb, avocado, cheese - $13.50.
tasty seasoned lamb :) much better than kangaroo meat.
my friend's veg burger had a huge portobello mushroom in it.
and that's her bf's beef burger.
