Constant chatter emanated from the back seat with strange language such as, 'Ship Names' which apparently are two possible crush names combined in to one. This is nothing new, I seem to recall my parents naming their house in that fashion circa 1956! They spoke excitedly of the mall we were to visit and which shops they'd like to browse in.
My normally quiet, placid daughter came to life like a Duracell Bunny and was talking in the same strange tongue that I'd never heard before. Weird.
Anyway, I dutifully trailed after the happy trio in to clothes stores, music stores, coffee shops and phone case cover suppliers. They were in their element. We purchased items to complete a hallowe'en costume, an iPod case and some mascara, not to mention lunch and smoothies.
We rushed to the movie theatre once we realised it was to start in 10 minutes and I bought the tickets while the girls bought drinks. The movie was 'The Scorch Trials'.
We need not have rushed for a good seat. In fact, when we four walked in, we doubled the audience number and had our choice of seats.
The movie was quite good even though I hadn't seen the first one. It was a futuristic 'end of the world with zombies' type movie. The only thing that annoys me is when the producer can't be bothered to put enough money and effort in to the make-up and scary scenes, so decide to use very dim lighting with the occasional strobe coupled with weird camera angles. That to me screams a low budget film. I've seen it many times and think it's pure laziness or lack of interest.
Anyway, we all came out discussing where we would go if the end of the world was nigh. It was a unanimous verdict that all three would return to that mall and live there happily on burgers, fries and froyo whilst wearing their pick of latest fashions and jewellery. That was assuming the zombies didn't get there first......
