Friday night was the opening night for Saw II, a gory horror movie sequel to the surprise hit Saw of last year. I have been looking forward to this movie and apparently it blew away the box office this weekend opening up at $30.5 million, twice what the big-budget Legend of Zorro opened with. It was pretty good too, and did justice to the twists and turns of the first movie. Rumour has it that after this successful weekend at the box office there may be a Saw 3 in the works. I am such a sucker for a horror movie.
Saturday evening, a friend and I went out for sushi then to the Royal Winnipeg Ballet's production of Dracula at the Centennial Auditorium. It was a breathtaking performance with sumptuous costumes, elegant scenery, and lithe dancers doing stunning jettes and plies all over the place. I was quite impressed.Tomorrow night, I get to go to Brennan's house to hand out candy to all the little kids out Trick-or-Treating. That is my favourite part of Halloween. But for now, it is time to get back to the world of marking job packages and midterms.
