i love weekends.but i am not going to say that every once in a while i don't get the weekend, i have no plans, blues.
whelp, they hit hard and strong yesterday afternoon.
i had worked all day long and was tired with nothing to look forward too but cleaning my kitchen floor.
[oh yes, wiiillllddd and crazy are two of my many middle names]
but right as these moody blues hit, i hit up my local movie listings and realized red riding hood was starting in 15 minutes.
done and done.
10 minutes later i was on a date with me, myself and moi...perfectly excited...perfectly not blue.
even better, the movie was surprisingly worth the trip.
to read the review i think best sums it up, click ------> [here].
the story revolves around a small, fantastical town living according to the means of a wolf that comes around during every full moon.
the town offers up their best animal sacrifice in the town square and then locks their doors to let the wolf come around.
that is the deal in the treaty.
keep the deal and no human is killed.
valerie [thee fabulous amanda seyfried] lives with her family in the town; in love with peter, but betrothed to henry.
[don't worry ladies, both are hot. you will be happy]
when valerie's sister becomes a victim of the wolf, the treaty is officially broken and the town calls up zealous father solomon [a spot on gary oldman], to help them make a plan.
he informs them that the wolf is not just a wolf; but, rather a werewolf who lives amongst the townspeople when not taken over by the full moon.
here is the deal lovelies:
the script is awful. like, totally laughable at times.
but director catherine hardwike has created a visually stunning fairy tale world full of color and dimensional characters who are not at all what they seem at first glance.
it took me the ENTIRE film to figure out who the wolf was.
and any story that keeps me guessing that long, is well worth my $6.50.
and yes, i do want a red cape.

Why are we the same person? Why was that the first thing I thought when I saw the cape too?
