Anyhoooooo, I watched The Other Boleyn Girl last night and while it was ok I was really disappointed. I don’t think it followed the story as much as it should have but I guess that’s what they think they have to do when making a big movie and trying to fit as much into a couple of hours as they can. I found the movie a a disappointment after reading The Other Boleyn Girl and I’m glad I read the book before the movie. I think The Tudors follows the whole story much more accurately and is much more interesting than this movie was. Ok, I’m off my soapbox about all that now.
We also watched a couple of horrors-my mom and I that is. We watched The Mist-a Stephen King movie. I loved it but then I like the scary, gory kind of movies. My mom was hiding her eyes most of the time. We also watched The Eye with Jessica Alba which I found much more freaky. The more supernatural stuff always scares me more than the gory stuff. Anyhow both were good-got the heart rate up. LOL.
Today is a cool day here. The rain is supposed to start later today and into the week. I’m just going to sit back and relax with my reading and maybe a bit of knitting if my hands can hack it today. I’ve got three books on the go-The Lace Reader which is quite good so far, Stone Creek also quite good so far and last but not least the Young Adult book Unbelievable, which is the fourth one in the series. It’s good to me because I was anxious to see what was going to happen to the girls next. Hopefully I’ll be getting several reviews up this week.
Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!
I have the movie “The Mist” but haven’t gotten around to watching it yet. I MUST do that! I’m with you…I like the psychological thrillers/horrors more than the gory ones.
First off .. Buddy is a doll. OMG…
Nice to hear the review of the Other B. Girl. I plan on reading first also before viewing.
Movie watching with Mum sounds great.
Great Blog and comments here Dar. 🙂
I watched They Other Boleyn Girl and I thought it was okay, not great. It is interesting that you liked the book that much more. I may have to check it out! 🙂
Such a sweet, sweet picture! 🙂 Love it!
I couldn’t even finish the other Boleyn Girl. I had to turn it off about 3/4th through.
What an adorable puppy! We have a Shih Tzu and his name is Buddy, also!!
I have become such a wuss – I use to LOVE horror movies but I don’t enjoy them much anymore.
Thanks April. Unfortunately Buddy knows he’s adorable and uses it to his full advantage. lol. I love Shih Tzu’s-they are such cute puppies. Too funny that his name is Buddy too.
