The only thing i don’t understand about this movie is why the lesbian daughter broke up with the writer… i mean, if you’re writing about someone, doesn’t that mean that you love them? i guess she did reveal her secret, but other than that i don’t get it.

My daughter and I had a weird coincidence last night. It was getting too late for any gaming, so we decided to watch a movie. She wanted to watch ‘something freaky’, so we watched The Dark, which fit the bill pretty well. At first I thought the woman who played the mother in the movie was the same woman who played Rose in Doctor Who, although Rose definitely looked younger. In any case, I checked the credits to see who the woman was who played the mother, and it was Maria Bello. Never heard of her. Strangely enough, my daughter is now completely ‘freaked out’ and does not under any circumstances want to go downstairs and go to bed. So we aimlessly look for another movie – of a lighter theme – to watch. I come across The Jane Austen Book Club and remember that I was interested in it when I first read a review in the paper months ago. It just so happens that out of the hundreds of movies I could have chosen, I picked another movie with Maria Bello in one of the main roles, (She plays Jocelyn). Weird!
