Movies

25. The Sentinel - A mildly entertaining, but mostly boring secret service movie. Just watch "In the Line of Fire" instead.

26. True Lies - I somehow missed out on watching this all the way through until now. It's an interesting blow shit up movie. The Arab stereotypes are only slightly over the top.

27. Mission Impossible 3 - Tom Cruise is the least talented, successful actor of my lifetime.

28. Somnersault - This movie features a promiscuous Australian teenager. I think she tries to have sex with every other character in the movie. It flows like a Sofia Copola movie. It looks neat, has a nice soundtrack, but there's no story.

29. the Break-up - The best part of this movie was the crowd response at the end. I won't spoil it. Vince Vaughn is okay. John Favreau is okay. Jennifer Anniston is fine. Joey Lauren Adams is annoying (surprise). Vincent D'Onofrio is exceptional. It's a decent romantic comedy if you enjoy that sort of thing.

30. the Notorious Betty Page - There's lingerie and boobies in this movie which makes it worth seeing, particularly when the boobies belong to a virtuous, southern baptist nudist.

31. Russian Dolls - If you saw Auberge Espanole, then you will probably enjoy this movie. You will be armed with the back story. Audrey Tautou's character is slightly less annoying. Wendy is significantly more attractive. Xavier is still neurotic, but what a lady's man. It's a good movie.

32. the Rock - I had never seen this movie in its entirety. It is brilliant. I knew it was brilliant, but the full viewing simply confirmed that.

33. Over the Hedge - It's an entertaining animated feature. It's a nice matinee.

34. Bridget Bardot Sings - This is an interesting compilation of old Bridget Bardot French TV performances. There's plenty of commentary by Bridget. I got this for Mrs. LaBlog, but I watched it on the train. It's really entertaining.
