Movies and holiday weekends

I saw two movies this weekend: Gone Baby Gone and Atonement. GBG was on DVD. I have to admit, I was underwhelmed. I definitely got its comparisons to Mystic River, and Amy Adams was phenomenal. But eh, B-. Atonement was good, though I felt it ended a bit abruptly, if not to say surprisingly. Keira Knightly looked luminous, and James McEvoy is one great actor. Also that little creepy 13 year old girl. I will give this one a B+.

I should also mention I re-watched Father of the Bride. A+ all of the way.

I also spent time reading and we made Jenny & John over for an impromptu dinner on Saturday night, preceded by Scrabble. I guess I need to go back to wedding stuff. Ugh.
