Nope, didn't like it.

It seemed like the camera techniques were trying to be artsy just for the sake of being artsy. It was a bit gorey but not quite *that* gorey. It was a bit cheezy but not quite *that* cheezy. It made me jump once but wasn't *that* much like a thriller. It had a message in there I guess but didn't put a point to it (like yeah, people are violent/nuts and we all do ourselves in - duh).

We walked out of the theater and B mentioned feeling similar to when we saw Gangs of New York - not really knowing what to think of it. I LOVED Gangs of New York, this one - I'm bummed I used up my free movie passes on it (I didn't even have to pay and was disappointed).

The Boston Phoenix had a review which I guess sums up my take on it: here

I'll just get back to thinking of Johnny Depp and all will be OK :)

The kitchen

The cabinets are in. Dad came over yesterday (despite having head-splitting pain due to an infected tooth that had a root canal finally) to make the template for our counter top. Dad has to place the order for the thing and a week or so from now the monstrous thing will be done - we'll need strong manly volunteers to help move the massive 1 piece L-shaped thing in place :).

Here's some pix:

The stove wall here


The fridge corner (to left of window): here

The window wall: here and here

The 'bar' corner (there will be a bar against the wall over the shallow cabinets) - to the right of the window: here

We should be paying the rest of our huge chunk of $ this week to buy floor tiles, wall tiles, a new faucet for the sink and a garbage disposal. After that it will be small odds and ends like stain and hardware for the cabinets (new knobs) and I'm sure there are other things I'm forgetting.

Soon, SOON!
