anam_moonYesterday (Friday, October 1st.) was one of James and my last days of vacation together and our anniversary (four years and eleven months). We spent the earlier part of the day around the house (ordered a pizza for breakfast), but later in the evening we agreed to have dinner at Papillon and then see "The Forgotten" afterward.
Dinner was lovely, I always have a hard time deciding what to select, everything sounds tempting. James and I both opted for the special of the evening, a filet mignon and I had a spinach salad. James ordered a chocolate martini for me. That was amazing tasting! I should definitely go back to eating chicken legs with broccoli for my dinner after the delicious, indulgent vacation week I've had. We were seated in an inner dining room that we had never been in before, velvet patterned wallpaper. The sort of thing that is neat somewhere else, but you would never want in your own home. The waiter didn't charge us for our desserts. He was all grins when he came with our bill telling us that the desserts were on him. Not sure what we did that made such an impression on him.
Dinner took longer than we were anticipating, but we were able to make it to the theatre in plenty of time, we didn't even miss the previews.
"The Forgotten" wasn't so much scary as it was highly suspenseful, it felt a lot like a long episode of "The X-Files" sans Scully and Mulder. I recommend seeing it. I wouldn't say that it is something that needs to be seen on the big screen, but if you were looking for a reason to get out of the house for a night and wanted to see a movie it was good. There were some very tense scenes that had the small audience in the theatre with us jumping. The first moment that really freaked everyone out was during a car chase when a van rammed into our heroes in their vehicle. I rather enjoy moments where the audience has a group reaction/ experience, but we leave it at that brief flash of laughter at our jumpiness, etc.
When we got in I could tell that Jean is feeling much better since she came to greet us at the door. She came in and curled up with us while we watched some Eddie Izzard "Dress to Kill" before tucking in for the night.
