Novotel St Kilda

Novotel St Kilda

It's been a long time since I have stayed here... Mum got us the room for our wedding anniversary to go with our tickets for Dave Hughes at the Palais... The staff were lovely, room was comfortable, recently refurbed, with everything required for a nice stay... The bathroom was massive and clean, but poorly designed as the open plan meant water from the shower went all over the back half of the floor...
We cheekily set up the wii and had a good time kicking back, playing games with a few drinks until it was time to go to the show... Ordered room service, I got the burger, pricey, but delicious!
Would definitely stay here again, recommend the spot, awesome location, nice room...

Alice in Wonderland - Tim Burton

Alice in Wonderland
I will pre empt my mediocre review by saying we didn't see this legit... So the picture and colours weren't as lush as I had hoped, and know they would have been if we went to the cinema, or 3D at the cinema...
An interesting and very Tim Burtonesque take on the story... It was mildly funny in parts but not as funny or as entertaining as expected... Maybe a cinema viewing was required, but certainly wouldn't recommend a dodgy copy at home ;)

Melbourne Aquarium

Melbourne Aquarium

Marley and I took Michelle to the aquarium to celebrate her birthday... It is an expensive venture, more then the zoo for less entertainment, however on entry you are presented with the penguin enclosure... This is by far the best thing about the aquarium, and I wish it was the last thing you saw so you could walk away with the feeling of awe that you do on first sighting... It's massive, and cold and white, feels good on the eyes... The penguins are right there next to you just chillin, Marley loved them and didn't want to move from the first window, eventually we got her around to the big window and then the swimming area... Truly magnificent and worth every penny of entry...
The rest is okay, there are a LOT of fish, loads of tanks, frogs, turtles, even dragons and lizard types... The walk under the huge tank is good, you could spend a lot of time there, just watching the fish and sharks go by...
It was a really nice time, and we will go back another time, but it is expensive for what it is...

Cop Out Film

Cop Out

Oh Kevin Smith you kill me... I wanted so badly for this film to be good, for both our sakes... But it wasn't... In the slightest... I couldn't stay awake through it... We turned it off, that's all I can really say about that...
