Grey

Well I finished The Picture of Dorian Grey yesterday. Its not like it is a really long book, but still it is slightly amazing that I started and finished the book all in the same day, before leaving work. I find it amazing that you can feel sorry for Dorian at the end, even though it all really is his fault. True he had horrible direction and friends, but he was also a bad influence to those around him, and he did deserve to die. I really love this story.

Interestingly I also watched Sherlock Homes (the most recent one), last night. I was surprised how I felt about it. It was OK, but there was something missing from the whole thing. I felt as though I had been let down by an invisible force. The Acting was good, I really liked Jude Law and the women who played his wife, and the costuming was amazing. And some of the scenes were great (like when you see how Homes decides to take down people during a fight, hear his reasons, prior to the actually event.) But still I felt let down, like I was watching something that should have been good. I felt the same way about Narnia, as if it was missing something.

Perhaps it was reading of such a well structured novel prior to watching it, or maybe there really was a problem. I wanted to skip over things, speed up the process of watching. Which is my way of saying I got bored. It really is too bad, I think that you have find blame in this case with either the director or the writer. (and its very hard to tell which). And its not like it was the worse movie I have ever seen either, I have seen a lot worse. (And I will be the first to admit it is really hard to keep my attention).

I'm leaving tomorrow for home!!! which means I have to pack...:(
