We watched Just Like Heaven over the weekend. We both liked it pretty well - it’s a cute romantic comedy. Pure fluff and a good date movie. 3 stars out of 5.

We also watched Red Eye, which was really misrepresented when it was promoted. From watching the trailers I thought it was a horror movie. Add that it was directed by Wes Craven, that confirmed the horror movie idea to me. So I never considered seeing it.

And then my boss came in one day a few months ago and asked if I had seen it. I told him I don’t like horror movies and he said, “You know I got it thinking it was a horror movie, but it isn’t at all. It’s just a good thriller.” He recommended it highly.

So I got it and it turns out my boss was right - it’s a pure thriller with nothing horror about it. I think it might have done better in the theater if it had been sold as a thriller instead of a Wes Craven horror movie. We liked it and I give it 3 stars out of 5.

Oh yeah, and Survivor‘s Colby was in it, too. Cracked me up when it finally dawned on me who he was.
