If it weren’t for the humongous EDSA traffic yesterday, I wouldn’t be able to watch the movie “Valentine’s Day” in Megamall. Not that it was a great movie. It was an okay movie that allowed room for a few laughs and twinkling thoughts about the beloved. The best part was I had the whole back row seat for myself and was able to stretch my aching legs comfortably.

Back to Valentine’s Day, I can only say that the movie lacked substance. If it weren’t for big name stars like Julia Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Swift, Anne Hathaway, Jamie Fox and Taylor Lautner, I’d say it was completely forgettable. I don’t really attribute that to the complex story of a dozen lives in Los Angeles that sort of connect with each other. It’s a Facebook movie plot. Too predictable, a no brainer. It’s like buying a phentermine without prescription. There’s nothing really special about it.

Ho-hum. But the trip to the cinema was certainly worth the time spent waiting for the traffic to die down.
