hippie_chickThere hasn't been very much to say lately. Work. It's picking up the slightest bit. Sunday right as I was leaving... it wasn't that it was all that busy per se but I guess everyone that was in the store at that particular time decided they had to check out at once. And I was running some photos through the lab to get them done when promised, and clearing the work so there was none when I left.
People breathe heavy and sigh when they have to wait just one additional minute. We had a brand new person in running register for the first time too. And they have to ask you "don't you have any more help?" Yeah. I do, but I purposely don't call anyone just to annoy you. What do you think? Sheesh. LOL! You waited two minutes before you were rung up. We're working as quickly and as expediently as we possibly can. Where are you going on a Sunday afternoon anyway? Home to read the paper. Calm down. It only stresses us out more and I hate that. A little patience please.
Anyway, we're into October, and "Halloween Month Movie A Night"! Newcomers to my journal, all October long, my mom and I have a tradition of picking out one suspense / horror film a night (well at least we try to) to screen. Gets scarier as we get closer to Halloween, culminating in our final screening which is always "Halloween" on Oct 31.
October 1
Dracula (1931)
Thought we'd kick off the month with a classic. This is the ultimate, the role that Bela Lugosi was born to play. We have The Legacy Collection. Actually we have all of the Legacy DVDs for all the Universal Monsters, we've been collecting them bit by bit. I love watching it with the new score by Phillip Glass. This set contains Dracula, Dracula's Daughter, Son of Dracula, House of Dracula and a Spanish made version. Though it's Lugosi's version I really love, the Spanish one was really good technically for the time... atmospheric and the camera work was excellent. We enjoyed watching that one as well. Excellent stuff.
October 2
Skeleton Key (2005)
I watched this one last night myself, mom and dad watched something else on TV that they'd been wanting to. Anyway. This is like the second time I've seen it. It's got a really creepy vibe, and a heaviness to it probably because it takes place deep in the bayous of Louisiana. The house was fantastic.
The cast was excellent, particularly Gina Rowlands and John Hurt. And Peter Sarsgaard really shone in the big twist ending... he's so good. Kate Hudson. Well I love her anyway. :) Good story, and I found myself having to really pay attention to catch stuff. I caught more this viewing than I did the first. More suspense, this one, than true scares.
