for future reference, when i say "i don't like scary movies, and i get scared really easily", a movie about a vampire and a little boy who fall in love is still likely to scare me, despite all the love stuff. especially if set in 1980s sweden.
tonight mk, aa and i went to a screening of "let the right one in," a very sweet swedish film about oskar, a loner who is ostracized by his peers but befriended by a strange girl who lives next door. when eli and her father move in, people in the town start dying mysterious violent deaths, and oskar soon realized that eli is a vampire (with a heart of gold), and his only friend. i really liked it. it was incredibly atmospheric and the acting was superb, especially by the two children, and i was on the edge of my seat most of the film. it was interesting, too, where the film found its heros (in an outcast and a monster) who were the most human characters of all. the film was picked up by magnolia pictures, and will be released soon in the us, and i definitely recommend it.
we waited around to say hi to aa's movie exec boyfriend (thanks for the tickets!) and i looked in vain for famous people, and then we decided to look for food. i remembered the dessert truck was quite near us, so we shared a chocolate bread pudding with creme anglaise (oh my goodness, so delicious) sitting on a washington square stoop. then we came home to brooklyn and had drinks and cheese at sample, which was cute though not necessarily my style. (i am not a huge wine and cheese person, and while my drink was good, it was tiny.) plus it was a little on the warm side, and it's not hot enough outside yet to be too hot indoors. anyways, very cute, and i appreciated that they suggested it because of my well-known love of vintage maps. (which were wonderful.) mk and i cabbed home (no way was i walking as possible vampire prey) and now i need to clean before my parents arrive tomorrow. till next time.
oh, and because i know a few people read this, i'd love some feedback. what are you doing this weekend?
