Finally visited Kallang Leisure Park Mall! It took quite some walking to get there from Kallng MRT Station, but hey, walking is good exercising!
Although the mall underwent a major renovation, the shopping crowd was still as sparse as ever. It's not that hard to figure out the reason when you have been through the walking. It's really quite inaccessible and I doubt many people would have bothered to go through the trouble of getting there. Except for yours sincerely and his adorable girlfriend, of course.
Instead of the usual, GV and Cathay, we had a chance to try out another movie operator called FilmGarde. The seats in the theatre was big and spacious, but sad to say, that is where the good point ends. The popcorns were not very well made, to the point that you could actually get blocks of sugar from time to time and the attendants were... well, not very attentive. Isn't there supposed to be someone who closes the door in the theatre when the show starts?
Well, enough of the rantings about Kallang Leisure Park Mall. Let's talk about our movie, The Coffin. It's not your usual fright feast, and in my opinion, it is geared more towards the plot and it even has it's own moral of the story. "You can't cheat death." Sounds like a Final Destination kind of thing to me.
I personally think it's a little short for a film that has two concurrent stories running together, but I guess horror flicks are made that way - short and scary. The playing of the sudden movement and sound kind of gets mundane after a while. If you are looking for a good scare, I suppose you would be better off elsewhere. But if you want a story and a little heart pumper here and there, you got your film.
We decided to walk all the way back to City Hall from Kallang Leisure Park Mall after dinner. It was... a nice long walk. Really really long walk. On the bright side, we got some nice views along the way, I got to hold her hand and we didn't get lost!
Definitely good enough to be a postcardOn the downside? Other then the sweat, I can't see any other downside. Except for the occassional scares from your friendly, neighborhood creepy crawlers of course.
