Hi Huneybees,
Last night, I attended the Walt Disney, "Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" 3D movie Gala Premiere and it also launched the officially Grand Opening of Shaw Theatres Lido at Shaw Lido Imax. A special thanks to Nuffnang for the tickets.
It's the first time I went to the cinema after it's renovation and I must say, it's so much fresher, more welcoming and definitely an improvement from the last I saw it.

There was an event before, but I was delayed... :( |
|
The ticketing booth and device drop section. |
|
Love the flowers Walt Disney sent to congratulate Shaw Theatres for their Grand Opening. |
|
|
|
Screens all over the cinema were filled with Pirates of Caribbean's movie posters. |
There were a few media companies that night, giving out the gala premiere tickets and Canon was there to capture the special moment for everyone. Even though I was late, I still managed to grab a picture with Captain Jack Sparrow!
|
A special memento from Shaw and Canon. |
|
See! Told ya there's Captain Jack Sparrow! |
|
|
|
|
The Captains. Jack Sparrow and Barbossa. |
|
Black Beard and Angelica. |
|
Gelatissimo dropped by and offered free ice cream for all. |
|
Love the Strawberry Sorbet! |
This time round, they have left Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom out, but they compensated with lots of eye candy aside Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz. For the guys, it's definitely the mermaids and for ladies, there's some cute Britsh sailors which get 5 secs of fame or Sam Claflin who plays "Philip" across the lead mermaid.
One couple that gets the most exposure would be "Philip and Syrena". A courageous missionary who fell in love with a not so fierce mermaid.
And with such a magnificent set like this, one can guarantee the movie is a must-watch!
|
This is allegedly the Los Angeles set of the mermaid lagoon at Universal Studios (via). |
I give the movie a 4.5 out of 5 stars!
Go check out the movie in 3D at the new IMAX theatre at Shaw Lido. :)
Muahz,
Christina aka Huney
