Went to watch 'Helen the Baby Fox' at Cineleisure with Slugs. Embarrassingly, we got freaking lost there. We bought tickets, and were playing games at the arcade when we suddenly realised that the movie was starting. We did not even know our theatre was on the 9th floor (since when was there a 9th floor?), and the lifts were a freaking long wait. So as we played around with the lifts, we missed a jolly ten minutes of the movie.
Aside from the adorable shots of the protagonist, Helen, and the scenic views of the countryside, the movie also looks into social and humanitarian issues, like the adverse effects of divorce and maternal negligence on children, and euthanasia versus the will to live. Pretty educational, I would say. Anyway, there are some really moving scenes, like Helen finally being able to call out for its owner, but in the end, Helen still died. It was sooooo sad.
So sad that when the movie ended and everyone was streaming out of the theatre, there was one lady who was bawling her heart out while her friends were trying hard to comfort her. I thought I was sappy enough to sniff at the touching scenes, but apparently she took the ending REALLY seriously.
Sigh, Slugs and I fell in love with n.y.d.c's Solid Gold, which is a plain cheesecake slice topped with a layer of chocolate fudge, accompanied by a large scoop of chocolate ice-cream sprinkled with chocolate chips and drizzled with chocolate sauce. Decadent.
