We recklessly disregarded Seattlest Audrey's advice and saw Gone Baby Gone this weekend.
The Seattle Mystery Bookshop and the Case of the Somewhat Disappointing Film Adaptation
Mediocre Movies to Avoid This Weekend
1. Things We Lost in the Fire. There are a few things we liked about this (supposedly based here, though there is nothing to indicate that it actually takes place here) movie---mostly that the heroin junkie played by Benecio Del Toro lives in a flophouse in Renton and that Halle Berry plays a Seattle woman named Audrey, leading to a scene where Del Toro runs after her calling, "Audrey, Audrey, Audrey, Audrey, Audrey!" Call us vain, but we like the sound of our name.
Mission Possible
We had no intention whatsoever of going to see MI:III, but Microsoft took us for free on Friday morning to Crossroads in Bellevue, so we figured what the hell. Maybe it'd give us a chance to write a bad review, which is always fun. The theater was packed with Microsofties--a fairly tough crowd, it turns out. After the preview for The Break-Up, we're gonna go out on a limb and say many denizens of the Evil Empire are on Team Jolie. On the plus side, it was possibly the shortest wait for the ladies room we've endured in a crowd that size since our last trip to a Seahawks game.
