Dinner and a Movie -- Hostel

[kybearfuzz]

The birthday fun continued tonight with Brian (cincycub), Derek (_decibel_), Chris, Sean, and Aaron (aaron1978) at Jax Grill at the Levee in Newport. I fell off the low carb wagon for dinner, which was really good! Brian gave me a card "for a little girl" with a Target gift card inside. Derek and Chris got me a gift certificate to Comic Book World. Excellent choices, gentlemen, giving the gift of shopping is wonderful. Big hugs and thanks!!!


Jay Hernandez stars in Hostel
After dinner, Brian and I went to see a showing of Hostel. It was a decent movie, the story of two young American men who are traveling abroad and have a grisly encounter with torturers. Jay Hernandez plays one of the pair and I think he did a good job. He's cute too. :)

Brian and I agreed that you could boil the movie down to two words -- boobies and gore. There was an amazing amount of female nudity in this movie, lots of beautiful European women walking around naked. There was also a lot of gore in this movie, so much I was cringing in some scenes and I'm no lightweight when it comes to horror flicks. I enjoyed the movie, I think, but I don't see me buying the future DVD or recommending to others, except those who really enjoyed Saw.

On a side note, AMC Theater was actually checking ages for those going in this movie and was turning them away too. I was surprised.. and a little pleased. I only saw one kid around ten or so in the movie.

I think I'm going to see this. The TV spots look interesting, the reviews have been quite good (espcially for a film of this genre). Have you seen "The Devil's Rejects?" Rent the unrated DVD, it's a gleefully NASTY piece of work. Films like this are welcome respites from the usual teen-oriented, PG-13 spookfests.

LOL.. I would recommend grabbing a matinee of this movie. As a gorefest, it did a decent job :)

I've never seen "The Devil's Rejects"... I may have to rent that one sometime.

they were actually carding?
i've never seen them do that before

were they carding at the ticket booth
or the entrance to the theater?

I was surprised myself... they were checking at the entrance to the individual theater. The poor usher was having to turn away a trio of underage teenagers when Brian and I showed up. We even had one kid try to get this bearded guy sitting in our row to act like his friend's dad to get him in. The bearded guy said no... :D

You forgot to mention how they didn't even TRY to check OUR IDs, just waving us in like we were senior citizens!

LOL.. Honestly, I was so happy with the fact they were turning away underage kids like they are supposed to do, I kinda forgot that part :)
