We laughed, we cringed, we screamed “No, not the fireplace!!!”
Saturday is ‘Movie Night’ in the Salvaged Beauty household, and tonight’s feature film was definitely a cut above our normal fare, which of late has generally involved Scooby-Doo.
We don’t have a theatre around here, so we wait ‘til things are out on video. I actually prefer the comforts of home to a cineplex anyway. I’ve just carried a tuckered out Deirdre up to bed, after a thoroughly enjoyable evening huddled on the couch watching Zathura.
It’s a great movie to watch with youngsters – especially if you like old houses in the Greene and Greene style. Our daughter actually got worked up into a bit of a laughing frenzy listening to her parents pleading, “no…not the fireplace!” and “awwww…not the light!”
I won’t spoil the movie by saying much more, but even if you’ve seen it in the theatre, it’s probably worth renting the video to watch the extra features on how they used miniatures in the filming.
