The Forgotten
My rating: Creepy!

Way, way creepy. Plus, we’d just gotten our new surround sound hooked up and were watching on our new super-clear LCD flatscreen, so that made it creepier and scarier. The dog was even scared. She jumped off the couch every time a back speaker made a loud noise and ran and hid. Touching story, good acting, fairly satisfying ending.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
My rating: Not bad

May I just say that vampires are so cool? So any movie with a vampire usually gets a few bonus points from me, and this one had a vampire. Oh, and any movie that references works of literature? More bonus points. In this case, it was The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, which I haven’t read, but I know the basic premise. (It’s in my TBR pile, which grows ever-larger by the day.) So even if the movie had been HORRIBLE, the bonus points might have been enough to pull it into the acceptable range, but it wasn’t horrible. It was cute. Fun bit of escapism.

We are weak.

But it sure was a good deal at Sam’s Club.

(We’re going to go pick it up tomorrow morning.)

Cuz when the world don’t make no sense
And you’re feelin just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chai-ains and dance.

Yay for dancing! (It was a 1920s theme night. I promise I don’t wear red lipstick on a regular basis. Though I did have it readily available… hm…)
