I Suck At Confessions Of A Shopaholic

Last night was a ho-hum night.

Karen and I decided to spend the evening watching the next movie in her Netflix queue. That movie: Confessions of a Shopaholic. Now I suck at Confessions of a Shopaholic.

The movie is about a shopaholic journalist played by Isla Fisher of Wedding Crashers fame. In fact, the movie is an adaptation of the Shopaholic series of novels by Sophie Kinsella.

Although the plot was quite predictable, the movie was entertaining. I enjoyed watching it with Karen. It's always good to just sit back and relax on the couch ever so often.

I think Karen definitely enjoyed the movie more than the previous one that we watched, District 9, about a bunch of aliens living in the slums of Johannesburg. Nothing like the white man keeping the alien down. Interestingly enough, Karen did not think the baby enjoyed the movie either. (For anyone curious, this week, the baby's name is Cauli... after cauliflower.)

If what Karen says is true, then Cauli most likely will take after her mother and not her father, which is probably a good thing. Although I suppose there can never be too many geeks in the world.

I actually enjoyed District 9, more so than the other movie in her Netflix queue: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

(The video below is the trailer for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.)


Karen did not watch the movie because she has not seen the previous Harry Potter movies. The movie was an okay adaptation of the book. Personally, I think the best movie adaptation thus far is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (the one which had Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame).

Of course, I may have enjoyed that movie experience the most because my friend (Aimee) was practically in tears during the movie. I got a kick out of that because Aimee, who had read all the books, knew what was going to happen in the movie.

Anyway, the movies were entertaining.
