P AGE 23 Eli Kay Writer For all you sexy people who prefer to spend their Friday night or even the morning of their day off doing as little as possible, here are this month’s steps (and they are very few, so don’t worry) to a blissful and relaxing time. MOVIE TO WATCH: “CUBAN FURY:” This film will have you laughing till it hurts. When he was 13, Bruce Garrett was a UK Junior Salsa Champion, but after a horrible bullying incident, Bruce is left without confidence, without hope for his future and without love for life. Twenty-two years later, an outof-shape Bruce finds a reason to start living again, in the eyes of his beautiful new boss, Julia. So now he has to face his demons and reclaim the fury and the glory of his old self, on the dance floor. MOVIE NOT TO WATCH: “ROBOCOP:” The year is 2028 and OmniCorp is the leader in technology, selling its robots to the government as weapons of defence. When OmniCorp decide to bring their product to the home market, they use Alex Murphy, a detective who was critically injured in the line of duty, as a prototype. So they make a part-man, part-robot police officer. But as much as they try to suppress the human part inside him, it keeps surfacing and it wants justice for the people responsible for his injury. NEUTRAL film: “JINN:” There are three dominant creatures, man, angel and Jinn. The Jinn was forgotten for decades and it is time to reclaim domination, with great peril to us humans of course. It might sound like a cliché horror film, but it has good stunts and a cool car, definitely enjoyable. WHAT TO EAT: What goes better with a movie but popcorn. Delicious, freshly made popcorn. But wait a minute, we’re not in the movies and the microwavable pop corn tastes like sponge? We don’t have a popcorn machine and the stove is broken? Seems unlikely, but just wait up. All we need is a microwavable bowl, a plate and corn seeds. And a microwave. Place the seeds in the bowl, cover with the plate, microwave for 3-4 minutes and VOILA! You have fresh, healthy and, most of all, cheap popcorn. WHERE TO SURF: Let’s say you watched one of those films recommended and you want to talk about it with other people who watched the same films. Or you want to review it. Where do you go? To http://www. criticker.com/ , the only place where everyone is really a critic. And if you are more interested in something “on the go,” MovieLaLa has launched a very special app only for ipads.
