alone movie, oregon

 this morning i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'alone'. i found out there was 2 movies with this name, this is the one that takes place in oregon and is a thriller about a widow being kidnapped. i didn't recognize any of the actors in it, but not a big deal as i care more about the story. i like how part of the story was on the road as i do like road movies. this was mostly early on, stopping at a gas station and a hotel. when i saw the man in the black jeep i said 'this is when she gets kidnapped' but was wrong. it wasn't the first time she sees this man. the 'special features' part of the disc said it was the remake of a swedish thriller movie, 'gone'. much of the movie takes place in the wilderness, as she ends up locked in the basement of the man's cabin. there is a body count. i do like thrillers, and it kept my attention throughout. although i am not sure why the woman didn't want to talk to her mom at first. we see ignored calls from the mom but she was willing to talk to her dad. when i see the u-haul being packed i said 'it looks small' and then it was revealed that it was a trailer behind the car. i am used to driving a truck and having the car on the back. i got it back same-day, although it looked like i could have kept it until monday at 9pm but had the time to get it back early so i did. 

after the movie was done i had lunch. then i found the st. paul saints baseball game on the radio. but i found out it was a doubleheader against the iowa cubs in des moines, so there must have been a rainout the night before. i fell asleep and missed much of the action, but was aware of how the saints lost both games in walk-off fashion. i got some small things done such as putting away postcards from the festival in a photo album. but it meant being creative on finding space, either doubling up some cards or taking some of them out. during my walks for the day i found 54 cents. 'the simpsons' had some social commentary in it, where homer played a leader in ancient rome and i caught a trump reference. i got the dishes and recycling done as well.
