Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking when they cast those blond sisters as Alba. I saw what they were doing, because they look identical, but I'm confused as to how black and red = VERY BLOND HAIR. I know it happens! It just goes against book canon, that's all. That and there are young child actors who aren't blond.

Eric Bana...I don't know. He's okay, but he's not what I imagined Henry to look like at all. Rachel McAdams was perfect for Claire, though.

IDK, I didn't think it was dull. I liked the movie version for "Atonement" well enough. I thought it captured the book very well, considering a lot of other movie adaptations for books really missed the mark.

:D I'm glad, too! He's recovering well so far. I think the thoughts and good vibes really pulled off.
