I know. I'm supposed to say something clever about how it appeared people ARE into you, as opposed to him not being into you. I can't. A trip to Mexico made me miss the screening, and a new puppy has given me a new priority. And even though critics didn't love it, our own Chris De Salvo was a big fan, giving it an 8/10.
Taken looks to have some legs, staying strong at the No. 2 spot.
Next week will be a battle of killing vs. shopping (Friday the 13th vs. Confessions of a Shopaholic). Can't wait to see who wins.
