and i can also despise this adopted city of mine

are they kidding? a humidex of 45C? :( i am going to melt today. i woke up and was going to get ready to go to either the gym or to yoga but then when i heard the forecast i got pouty and decided it was too hot to go to either (when really, there's NO reason to think that). now i am trying to pick out what movie(s) i will go see this afternoon.

i saw dark water last week and i really was happily creeped out by it. very well acted, great child actor, creepily fabulous story that verged back and forth from domestic horrors (bad plumbing) to personal horror (abandonment and relationship issues abound) and then just good old ghostly horror(can't tell you that bit!). the best thing about the film is that it didn't resort to any cheap scare tactics... there were no oogie boogies falling out of the ceiling or walls. there were no no deep and growly voices from the taps... just a good story. also, the ending didn't sell you out. and that's all i'll say about that.

i still haven't seen the final star wars. i really should see the stupid thing in the theatre, shouldn't i? i might go see war of the worlds - we haven't had any crazed tomkat stories for a little while - i may be able to separate enough from that to get into the film. and then there's always christian bale in batman begins - but there again is the specter of tomkat looming overhead.
