Movies

The Phantom Thief (1946) Chester Morris is Boston Blackie in this flat backlot timefiller. This is what they had before they had television. 3/10

The Tourist (2010) The critics were so harsh with this I felt I ought to see it. Uniformly good acting and high quality presentation, beautifully filmed, yet it attains a level of absurdity and ridiculousness in the story that had me chortling repeatedly. It got so stupid that I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. Good stupid. Fun because it is so dumb. Johnny Depp is always appealing but Angelina Jolie is one weird looking chick. 7/10
