Friday film evening

I have been looking forward to seeing the film of "Gone Girl". I read the book when it came out and really enjoyed it, but we missed the film when it was in the cinemas so I have been watching and waiting for it to come out on Netflix. So tonight we settled down with a tasty tagine and some flatbread to watch it. James and Davie had not read the book so they had no idea what to expect and it was fun watching them react to the different revelations and guess what would happen. David cottoned on pretty quickly. I was actually just a wee bit disappointed in the film; it seemed more predictable than the book - but then I did know the story! And, like the book, I felt that the second half couldn't quite live up to the first half. However we all enjoyed it and it was a pleasant Friday evening.
