I only wish that were true.... Sarah Michelle Gellar is back though with her new movie "The Grudge." Leslie was kind enough to hook Lindy up with passes for the 99X screening last night (Thanks Leslie!) and so we went and checked it out. This movie is based on a popular Japanese horror flick called "Ju-On" and is directed by the same guy who did "The Ring." I saw "Ju-On" a month or so ago and liked it quite a bit. The "creepy factor" was really cranked up. This new "Americanized" version has a similar feel and a similar plot, but is still very different from its overseas counterpart. It was not nearly as creepy as the original and definitely was not scary. Sarah did a good job and Jason Behr (whose character was not even in the original) is hot. The best part of the film is definitey Yuya Ozeki who plays the creepy little kid, Toshio. He was in the Japanese version as well. He doesn't have many lines, but his facial expressions more than get the job done. I didn't dislike "The Grudge," but I can't really claim to have liked it that much either. It was ok. I'm sorta glad I went to a screening and didn't have to pay to see it. "Alfie" screening is tonight, so look for a review on that tomorrow... and check out "Smallville" tonight! We get to meet The Flash. It has to be odd for Michael to play against a character that he voices on "Justice League."
