Today at work some of my co-workers decided to get to the movies after work. The headed for the new James Bond 007 – Casino Royale. Actually I was wanna to see it anyway, so I decided to join them.

We got to the Cathay Cineleisure Multiplex right at Orchard road. Whats quite amazing: Quite often you get a shopping center that has a cinema… But how often do you get a huge Cineplex (or better: Ultraplex) with some shops in it (namely: Merchandising, Books, Food, …)? Cause the movie started as late as 2100, we decided to get some Food first: I had a pretty enjoyable Chicken Rice Curry with a Pineapple-Papaya Juice. Food at Orchard is way more expensive than in other parts of Singapore – But about 4S$ (~2 euro) for the food and 2S$ for the drink is ok anyway.

The movie was… Let’s say it this way: Not as bad as expected! The new actor that incorporates James Bond was O.K., but for me the movie contained to much of a Love-Story…  The movie was of course in original language, but it contained subtitles in chinese. Anyway: 8S$ for a friday peaktime movie in a nice theatre with ultracomfortable seats is a price at which even I say: fair.
