A nice surprise

Yay! It made me so happy to sign in today and see some comments today. Blogging can feel a lot like talking to yourself after awhile, and even though i put that viewcounter thingy on here it's still NOIICE to have evidence from actual feedback that people are reading. So, thanks!

Plus, we've been pretty hermity lately, what with the not drinking and all, so lame as it may sound, it's nice to have a little contact with the outside world. Speaking of, since May 1 is Saturday, this was our last full weekend of Sober April. I think we're both pretty darn ready to be done with That part of the project. It's been nice to have some time to reset and relax, but the weather has been pretty beerific these days, and we're ready to join in the fun.

Now, on to the movies.

Red Rock West (1993)

This was one of those that we knew nothing about, and were pleasantly surprised by. It wasn't amazing or anything, just an interesting mystery, with decent acting and writing, not too long, not too flashy or boring. Nicolas Cage is a cowboy from Texas also, so he gets to throw in a little twang, which is interesting.

Dennis Hopper is also in it. If you're like us, you're thinking "Dennis Hopper and Nicolas Cage OMG ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN!" But actually, they're both very subdued. Which actually works in this movie but, you know, is still a bit of a bummer.

cory says... this review makes it sound only mediocre, but I think it was a very good movie.. then again we've been watching some really really bad stuff!!
