New Ghibli!

Me and Louis blasted through the remaining 5 hours of L.A. Noire and left a little bit disappointed at the ending of the game, it was a decent ride however but the conclusion, although possibly paying homage to the Third Man, was lack-lustre.

This afternoon we went to the Bournemouth Empire cinema to watch the new Studio Ghibli: Arrietty. We were the only people watching the film, and we almost didn't go because it wasn't in Japanese. I did really enjoy it however, very beautiful backgrounds and quirky characters providing that light-hearted humour that Ghibli films are renowned for. The sense of scale was also great, many things we consider tiny are used by the little people as everyday items, this made looking out for things in the background a pleasure. What better way to clebrate a Japanese film than to visit a great restaurant: Wagamama! Now I'm thinking I celebrated a little too hard... I could barely manage that chocolate fudge cake.
