Role Models – Sneak Preview

Every now and then, I`m granted with a sneak preview movie pass for 2. If I`m not busy, I`ll go. Last night, I had a movie pass for the upcoming movie Role Models, starring Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott, which is released in theaters November 7. My boyfriend was thrilled to be able to see this movie so early.

I liked the movie. That is to say, it’s one of those movies I can watch just once and not feel the need to really watch again. I laughed almost the entire time – the whole audience did. However, it is without a doubt a film of crude humor. Sex jokes, the little kid who is always cursing or talking about ‘boobies,’ it gets to be a little much, but what can you really expect from a movie like this?

Would I have paid $9 to go see it? Probably. Would I have wanted my money back at the end? Not one bit. The movie didn’t require much thinking, and I liked it that way. Plus, it ended on a really positive, feel good note.

Shopping Mall Japan, part II

Remember this post, reviewing the Japanese shopping service, Shopping Mall Japan? Well, I am now on my 12th day of those auctions. It’s not as slow of a process as I might have thought, but it still is pretty slow, compared to shopping on Ebay. Hopefully it’ll be worth it.

Payment was no problem. They sent me an invoice within 5 days of the end of my auction. I paid, very easily (just replied with my user name since I had a credit card on file), and within 24 hours, my new information was updated on the site.

I checked this morning, one package had arrived in the US office, two are still being shipped, but will more than likely arrive tomorrow, since they were sent together. I`m wating for all of them to arrive to the office before being shipped to me.

My guess? It`ll be 2 weeks at the most before I receive my items.
