Rental recommendation

Yesterday a friend came over. We went out and had some lunch. After that we decided to rent few movies from the local rental place. First movie that we found pretty fast was Rio. The secon one took some thinking. We were talking about Insidious and whether we wanted to watch it or not. Then another customer there heard what we were talking about and said that we should see it. That it is a good horror movie in a long time. Based on this we decided to take it.

First we watched Insidious (just in case) (we don't like to end the day by watching a sucky movie). The movie was made by the same people who made the Paranormal Activity. Let me just say that if this movie is anything like the PA, (which I think it is) I won't be watching PA anytime soon. I wan't to forget that I watched this so I can be let down by horror movie again.

It was more like a thriller, not horror movie. I got scared (well not scared scared, just jumped a bit) in one scene. That was it. So big no as a Horror movie, but I would recommend it as thriller. It was entertaining and it has a fresh idea compared to all the zombies and vampires that we have at the moment in almost all movies.

Then we ended the evening with Rio. It was very well made, even though there was few points where I said, "you don't do that in real life" (it was what the people did not animals). I am pretty sure I can tell you that it was basic happy end movie, where everyone got what they deserved. I liked it and laughed while watching it. So it was a good end for the evening.

Today we shall go see a movie in theater. (It is a bit cheaper to go today, hence we are going and not renting again).

Oh and the main point was left out! The whole point of this was that don't listen to what total stranger says is a good movie. Listen to someone you know has the same taste as you. Continued is the search of a good horror movie.

Trying the new interface

Just trying the new interface of blogger. So far so good. No big issues has come up. Will have to see if I'll be going back to the old one or stick with the new one. Wasn't able to change the look of the blog with the new thingy, but I am sure that later it will be possible. Maybe I just need to try this a bit longer.

Yesterday I did some gardening with my sister in law. I just noticed that I need more clothes. I have like two jeans and gym gear... So need to buy pants that I can use while digging up stuff. Also I have planned to buy better jacket for the winter. What I have now is good for fall and spring but not good enough for winter. If I plan to stay out longer than 10 minutes I mean.

Also I have a list of stuff I can buy (Christmas presents). :)) That I think is something I am going to do next. Go shopping a bit... but just a bit. That reminds me, I need to buy food too. My friend is coming over tomorrow so I think I will need something that we can cook.

Keeping busy

This is what I have been doing lately. This is second "hat" that I have made. First one was grey. So far I have made two mittens, two "hats", scarf and one sock (just started with its pair).

 

I also did some gardening...

 

Cowboys & Aliens

Yesterday I went to see Cowboys and aliens in the movie theater. I had a bit doubts wheater I should rather rent it when it comes out. I am glad I did go see it in the theater, just because it didn't suck that much. I have seen plenty of worse movies and paid more to see them.

For this I think the two hours was a bit long. I enjoyed that this was nothing that I had seen before. It was somewhat refreshing to see something that hasn't been done millions of times. Basically there was nothing new, just basic alien movie. But still I did like the movie. I believed the story and that is what matters. Sometimes I get really annoyed with the actors as the carisma that they have comes through and it doesn't fit the character that they are playing. This time I am happy to say that I didn't have that problem.

Still I have to say that this movie is more to those who are into scifi, (well okey also if you are into westerns). It doesn't have very wide nieche/audience, which was shown also by the fact that our movie theather is now only showing it during the day. It came there, I think few weeks back...

Weekend and stuff

The funeral went pretty well. There was no fighting. What I was sorry to see was how little flowers granny got. Also that the funeral didn't quite look like her. But considering that how little time was used to organize they were pretty good.I got few flowers from granny's home. As if they were left there no one would have taken care of them.

On Sunday I got busy and did some fall cleaning. I was down on my knees cleaning the flower bench. Now my legs hurt..

I had a better idea of what to write and how to write it. Just now that I am actually writing the words are not coming out. Writers block or something like that... Oh anyways. Back to work.
