Five, Six, Grab Your Crucifix

We watched the scariest movie last night...

Sitting down, we were really looking for a comedy-- Typical, nothing was on cable so we decided to order in. The list of new releases was less than thrilling, although it wasn't a surprise that I hadn't heard of more than half the movies. Valkyrie, I heard this was hilarious... a Tom Cruiser meets Hitler in an incendiary romp of good versus evil... similar to his run in with Ice Man. The Haunting in Connecticut -- I love horror movies, especially really bad ones.. And my sister Kate, who is my bad-horror-movie-loving equivalent, assured me that this one ranks "especially bad".. But, not really our thing last night (I may wait until I'm alone to watch CT Haunting). The Last House on the Left -- also a screamer filled with dying teenagers—2.5 hours of fun, but since we actually LIVE in the last house on the left, a little too much realism... So, determined, we reviewed casts, screenplays, genres and boldly made our decision (we paid for this, bytheway). It was horrifying ... a sea of thankless mercy killings and buckets of pathetic tears wasting away in a haze of self-righteous, self-loathing, "What Does it All Mean" misery—That's right, He's Just Not That Into You slathered itself all over our screen last night.

I was way more entertained by Blue versus Pig...

But even more entertaining... I just bought an exercise video. Once you've wiped the tears of laughter out of your eyes... I didn't walk into this purchase without serious research. I need to add at least 20 minutes of health to my already somewhat healthy lifestyle, and this video promises to accomplish this... AND it also comes with a promise of really-bad-horror-movie possibilities.. Talk about added value:
