MOVIES

My brother-in-law Ron and I watched this movie yesterday while Ruther was at work. And it's good thing that he was with me because that movie was scary. It stars John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson and it's really creepy. There were several times when I could not help myself and shrieked my head off which irked Ron a bit. But anyway, I did not force myself to watch the creepy parts. I did not want them to stay in my head and scare me in my sleep. Watching the movie once is enough for a scaredy cat like me. =D

Last night, Ruther and I watched Nancy Drew. I was so disappointed. I mean, I've read almost all of the (classic) Carolyn Keene books and the movie was really not what I expected. I feel so bad just thinking about it. Maybe I already had these expectations in my head based on years of knowing the character in the book and when I saw this teeny bopper playing the role of Nancy Drew and the movie so obviously different from the mysteries that I've read and loved, it just baffled and disapppointed me tremendously. I don't even want to write about the movie. It's just not what I expected at all. Ruther kind of found my frustration funny and told me that the movie was "loosely based" on the books. But that doesn't make me feel better still...
