Cursed and Canceled Dates

The subject of the entry sounds far more ominous than it is.

I made it out of work in time to catch a matinee of Cursed at the Levee like I wanted. Not a very full theater, no teenagers, but one baby. What the heck is wrong with young parents today that they bring babies to horror movies! Luckily, the child was quiet for most of the movie.

No spoilers for the movie, but it was good in some parts and silly in others. Christina Ricci actually impressed me quite a bit, showing that she can act her age, even though she still looks very much the teenager. She actually can be the lead in a flick. The special effects were okay as well. Overall, though, I will say that it wasn't as frightening as I thought it would be, which was disappointing. There was one scene I know had to be deleted from the final cut, there were too many clues leading up to it, but it didn't appear. One pseudo-spoiler, don't wait for any extra scene at the end, there isn't one.

My date for tonight called to cancel right as I was leaving the Levee. He was sick earlier this week and called to say that he still wasn't feeling well. He asked for a raincheck and got one. So, another day....

I'm strangely bursting with energy tonight, so I'm doing some massive cleaning of this house. How it gets so messed up when I'm the only one here is beyond me.

Tickets please....

While cleaning out my bookshelf downstairs, I found over a dozen movie ticket stubs from various flicks in my key bowl. Looking through them, I was amazed how long they'd been there and how many movies I've seen over the last few months. LOL! I really need a life.

There are some good times in these tickets though:

• Shaun of the Dead with ericdabear
  
• A Dirty Shame with chrisglass
  
• White Noise with cincycub
  
• The Incredibles three times (love that movie)
  

There is something very magical to me about watching a movie in a theater, it's an experience versus watching it at home. I'm sure I'll be heading to many, many more.
