Went to see Red Eye today...huzzahs all around. Whilst waiting for my Coke, the guy behind the counter was like "Let me guess...Red Eye?" I should've smiled very sweetly and said "No, actually, Supercross." just to see what he would've said. Man, the previews were nearly enough to make me gouge out my eyes...but then that would've made me miss out on an extended bout of Cillian, so I decided that I'd suffer through it. Suffice it to say, though, I don't have much faith in the quality of the movies coming out over the next few months.

But! Movie was very good...most enjoyable. You just can't go wrong with creeptastic evil that's obsessive about details and has eyes that see right through you. Furthermore, any movie that has the heroine employing a hockey stick as a weapon gets an extra nod of approval. Seriously, though, good movie, and not just because of the eye candy. For a story that could've been mind-bogglingly implausible at so many different points, it was kept pretty down-to-earth with only a couple spots of "Yeeeeeah, I don't really see that happening so much." Hopefully I'll get to see it again, for general purposes but so that I can actually recognize Colby when he's on. Yes! Survivor Colby plays a bodyguard, so that was a nice little bonus.

He lived in Douglas, which is where I worked for the past few months. So there's my claim to fame... yeah.

I am really anxious to see Red Eye. I was freaked out by 28 Days Later which is all I've seen Cillian Murphy in, but that's what it was supposed to do, so I give it props. Rachel McAdams is turning out to be a pretty good actress as well. But I'm ready to see a movie in the theatre for a change instead of renting and if it's as good as most people say, then I won't be able to wait till the video.

And of course, I watch Laguna Beach, call me crazy. Teenage Drama amuses me. I promise you that there's this blonde on the show who looks like Cassie only blonde. It's really weird.

Ohh, go see it as soon as you can! It's so good for so many reasons. I didn't go into it expecting to like Rachel McAdams, but I really do. She did a tremendous job...her reactions were very realistic, and she really kicked some ass. I hadn't seen Cillian in anything before, but I went head-over-heels for him the moment I saw Red Eye's trailer. Makes me want to see Batman Begins when it comes out on video, too...
