Taking Lives

This was a really good psychological thriller. A lot of times movies such as this one, are predictable and flat. This movie however was action packed and intense. The plot twists were unexpected, and the acting was incredible. I didn't know Angelina Jolie was such a good actress.

This is a movie I would recommend to anyone, as long as it is edited of course. But even edited, I didn't feel like I missed anything important. The movie flowed really well. In fact it is kind of slow in the beginning, but picks up and just keeps going like a roller coaster.

Synopsis: A top FBI profiler, Special Agent Illeana Scott (Academy Award-winner ANGELINA JOLIE) doesn't rely on traditional crime-solving techniques to unravel the mysteries of a murderous mind. Her intuitive, unconventional approach is often the only way to unlock the identities of the killers for the police to capture. When Montreal detectives handling a local homicide investigation reluctantly ask for an outsider's help to get inside the head of a cunning serial killer, Agent Scott joins the case. With meticulous insight, she theorizes that the chameleon-like killer is 'life-jacking' - assuming the lives and identities of his victims. As the pressure mounts to catch the elusive murderer, Agent Scott's unorthodox methods alienate her from a territorial police team that feels threatened by her uncanny abilities. Her seemingly cold demeanor belies an unparalleled passion for her work, and she's at her best when she's working alone. But when an unexpected attraction sparks a complicated romantic entanglement, the consummate specialist begins to doubt her finely honed instincts. Alone in an unfamiliar city with no one she can trust, Agent Scott suddenly finds herself on a twisted and terrifying journey, surrounded by suspects in a case that has become chillingly personal.

So, I read in consumer report the Sky isn't as good as it sounds. The Report said that the most reliable convertable is the Mazda Miata. But it also said one of the best and cheapest cars is the Ford Focus. I am looking into that car.

Must Love Dogs

If you want a chick flick, this is one you might want to check out. Despite being totally predictable, and a little sappy, it is a cute movie. John Cusack is as always, a charismatic nut and Diane Lane is that neurotic desperate woman. But ultimately it works out for everyone, well almost everyone. Dermot Mulroney character seems to be a missing piece. The movie tries to set up a love triangle, but towards the end, Dermot disappears. It is weird that they would introduce this character and have a sort of romance then have no conflict between the two guys. It doesn't have to be Bridgette Jones where the two guys fight, but there should have been some confrontation which led to the separation before the two main characters realize they are desperately in love and find each other again. But...Hollywood will always do something to ruin a perfectly good movie.

Classes are about to start again. Can I just say how outrageously expensive college is? Books alone for 3 classes will probably cost me about $300 dollars. Which comparatively I understand is pretty cheap. I can understand how most people who graduate are in so much debt. The students loans received pay for just tuition. Then we have to pay for books, room, and board. Sometimes I wonder if it is really worth the hassle. But I have to remind myself only 2 more months and then I will be done! Yeah!!! I can't wait to buy a car. I am thinking of the Saturn sky. But I haven't heard any really feedback about it, so I don't know if I should.
