I watched this movie for the second time with friends, remembering it as a really happy movie that would be a good way to start the semester. It’s a really great movie, but not so much on the happiness quotient. Oops.

I liked this movie because I love movies involving lots of dancing. The plot was awfully predictable, but the dance moves were spectacular.

I guess I didn’t like this book because I was coming into it with different expectations. I read the first couple of chapters in the bookstore, looking for light reading for a trip to a cabin in the mountains. I bought the book because I liked the author’s way of describing things and at first, the book didn’t seem all that weird. But the more I read, the more and more disturbing the book became. Maybe some people would find the episodes he describes funny, but I found it very disturbing and saddening, especially because the story is real. Only read this if you love exploring the dark side of the human mind.
