A Weekend At The The Theater

This past weekend was filled with all kinds of running around. On saturday, i pretty much did a lot of lazing around, until about 5ish, when i found out that i would get to go to the school play "Of Mice And Men". My sister was going with her friend and needed somebody to drive her over. So, of course, i was put on chauffeur duty. Thankfully though, when i got there, I ran into Bekka, her brother, Perry, and his sister, so i was saved from having to sit by myself.

The play was really good, Connor Bond played Lennie and did a really amazing job. There were only 2 critiques i have about it: the clapping in between the scenes just seemed very awkward, considering the tone and such of the play, and in the very end, the gun (they used a track starting gun) didn't end up going off, so they had some crappy sound effect they used which took away from the affect. Other than that though, overall, the acting was great, and the overall performance was as well.

Then, last night was pretty amazing as well. My sister was going to go see the Da Vinci code with a few of her friends, and again, i got put on Chauffeur duty (though, I'm not complaining). And about 5 minutes before we (my sister and I) left, i was able to get in touch with Bekka and arrange to pick her up, so yet again, i was saved from being a loner.

The Da Vinci Code was really good, and with exception of the ending, if allowed the book pretty much to the letter (as far as i can tell). As the book was, the movie was very thought provoking, but whether or not it was better than the book, im not sure. I think they are both really good in terms of their own medium, if that makes any sense whatsoever.
