A night of home fun

So my cousin came over last night (well actually we sorta kidnapped her and my aunt). We spent the night watching fireworks, catching up, and watching movies until 6am the next morning.
Its weird, the bond my cousin and I have. We're not friends but we're more than just relatives. I've never been able to explain it to anyone. We've known each other from the time we were kids (she's only 3 months younger than me). We've grown up together, discovered books, boys, and music together, been through thick and thin, through major fights and through long distance. In my own way I love her, and I know she'll always be there for me. She's knows practically everything about me and she's been my wall of stone for more times than I can remember. I hope we stay the way we are, and last through everything else that's gonna come our way.

Oooooooookay so what did we watch? First we saw Doom. I grew up playing Doom 2, and though I never played Doom 3, which is what this movies is based on, my brothers did and stuff like that always rubs off. I'm also a HUGE Rock fan. My brothers, my Dad, and I used to watch WWE (or WWF as it was called back then) and the Rock was the man! I quit when he sort off turned to movies around 2001, and WWE never really held the same appeal for me, even though Shawn Michaels came back. But back to the movie. I liked it. There was action, a lot of macho-ness, people dying....reminded me of Aliens 2, in a vague way. I was surprised with the twist at the end where the Rock switches teams but I was blown away by the 10 mins where Reaper (Karl Urban) wakes up as a superhuman and the movie switches from standard camera angle to first-person shooter perspective!!! I think that was very very well done. It's not a movie I'd care to watch a second time, but those 10 minutes I'll probably chop out and keep.

After that we watched the Haunting in Connecticut. People've said so much shit about this movie that I was expecting garbage, but instead I got a decent horror flick. Both of us were awake through the whole thing and scared shitless (but that might be cuz we're easily scared). The story was a little slow, but it was fine. The actors did a good job for such a small budget film. The graphics were good, the editing was good, all in all I think if you want a decent scare it'd be the movie to watch.
