In haunted mansion, even the 'Skeleton' looks bored
· The Skeleton Key looks like a haunted house thriller. It takes place in a large mansion in rural Louisiana, complete with a "Keep Out" sign on the driveway. Trees drip an ominously abundant amount of moss. It even has a crocodile-infested bayou nearby. Inside, the mansion feels like the "Haunted House" ride at Disneyworld, complete with plenty of dark corridors and an attic that hides more than just family photo albums and last season's fashions.
'Virgin' makes for slap-happy good time
· Move over Wedding Crashers: There's a bawdier, wittier comedy in theaters. The solid combination of good old American raunchiness and a believable love story makes The 40 Year-Old Virgin multi-dimensional and well-constructed -- which most R-rated comedies are not.
