I started Halloween week off with a stage production of
The Phantom of the Opera. It was my second time seeing this show, so needless to say, I enjoy it. The music is beautiful and the stage production is just extraordinary. If you haven't seen this show live on stage you're totally missing out.
I had to see what all the fuss was about, so I saw
Paranormal Activity this weekend. This is a good fright flick! It's spooky, suspenseful and makes your heart race; everything you'd want from a scary movie.
I changed things up a bit once November hit and saw
An Education. Taking place in England in 1961,
An Education tells the story of Jenny (Carey Mulligan), a very clever 16 year old on her way to Oxford, who embarks on a romance with David, a charming and substantially older man (Peter Sarsgaard). This is a great movie that I quite enjoyed. Mulligan is excellent as the naive teenager who all too eagerly tries to grow up. Sarsgaard is wonderful as David and is able to be suave and engaging while all the time portraying a character that is essentially kinda creepy. The supporting cast featuring Dominic Cooper, Alfred Molina and the magnificent Emma Thompson is also outstanding. And I have to mention the sharp and often witty screenplay by Nick Hornby, which made a rather ordinary story sparkle.
