Just Finished "The Island"

Due to Michael Bay's recent success with the Transformers movie, I decided to get Kristie to watch another Michael Bay movie. Rather than dust off the forgettable (please for the love of god let me forget) Pearl Harbor, we rented The Island. It was my second time seeing it, and I must say, I liked it as much as the first; that's a good thing. I know a lot of people give Bay strife for this movie, but it has its following. I love the underlying ethics of the movie. For those of you who may eventually see it, I don't want to be a spoiler. Let's suffice to say that you'll like the movie a lot if you have an interest in technology and bioethics. It was a nice stray from the typical, kill-a-guy-say-a-one-liner, action movies I've been watching. Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson are good stuff.

In other news, I finally got to see Kindergarten cop the other night. As usual, Arnold Schwarzenegger is the man. Previously I'd seen T1, T2, and Running Man, all of which combined had as many Arnie lines as Kindergarten Cop. It was a nice change to see the Governator speak more lines. Yeah, I definitely went and said Governator. Off to bed!
