Despite the negative reviews my bf and I braved seeing this movie tonight. I enjoyed it. It was cute, romantic and funny. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore always make for a great duo. This just goes to show you that sometimes you need to ignore the critics and go see the movie anyway...you might just be pleasantly surprised. I know I was.

I will get back to everyone possibly in the morning. I haven't forgotten about anyone. But I did want to extend some love to everyone on Valentine's Day!!!

Your friend,

Updating this entry.

It's Sunday. 2AM. Just got home. Had an ordinary V-Day (just as I thought it would be). We spent more time shopping for my bf's little sister's birthday than actual V-Day stuff, but I'm all right with that. We bought her a $500 digi cam (everyone chipped in thought). She's so spoiled but we love her that way. And she's a good kid. Straight A's even now, obedient, blah blah blah...

One good thing to come out of this day was a pretty cool movie we rented:


After the success of RING and RING 2, director Hideo Nakata decided to take a break from the horror genre to make this thriller. CHAOS begins as a couple--Takayuki (Ken Mitsuishi) and Satomi (Miki Nakatani)--go out for lunch. Afterwards, Satomi disappears, and it is not long before Takayuki, a businessman, begins receiving strange ransom demands. As the relationship between Satomi and her captor, Goro (Masato Hagiwara), is revealed, the film begins to unfold a labyrinthine plot where nothing is as it appears.

Although CHAOS opens with what seems to be a standard thriller plot, Nakata and screenwriter Hisashi Saito have created a unique movie that blends genres while invoking a number of classic films, including Akira Kurosawa's HIGH & LOW and Alfred Hitchcock's VERTIGO. Placed out of sequence, the pieces of Nakata's puzzle are arranged so that the audience is consistently off balance. In the process, the director creates a thoroughly engaging neo-noir suspense film that's sure to keep viewers guessing up until the very end.

How was your V-Day?
