Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Plot holes the size of the Grand Canyon. Most of the storyline seems to have been written by an eleven year old. Too bad because it wasn't a terrible idea for a movie, had good action, and even was pretty funny.

Pride and Prejudice
Read more reviews.
Holy crap is Elizabeth Bennett's family annoying in the first 45 minutes or so of this movie. I was wanting out of there bad. Especially Mrs. Bennett, man did she need a kick to the face.
Got much better after the family was moved out of the main focus, though they don't spend nearly enough time developing the relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. Just all of a sudden, they were in love for no apparent reason.
Christina loved it.

Big 12 Championship
The Texas Longhorns just won the Big 12 championship. They’re going to Pasadena to play in the Rose Bowl for a national title. I just can’t seem to wrap my brain around that. They had a chance to do something special this season and with today’s resounding victory they’ve done that. After a dissapointing performance in last week’s win, they played essentially perfect football today on both sides of the ball. The line opened more holes in the running game and gave Vince Young plenty of time to throw the football. I can’t remember a single dropped pass and there were several great catches. Jamaal Charles looked great. After giving up some yards on the first two drives the defense came up with huge plays to end both of them. They then settled in nicely and dominated the Buffalo offense.
Great performances all around and one of the most important wins for the program in recent memory. Bring on Southern Cal!

Dave Chappelle - For What It's Worth
Get it from Amazon.com.
Dave is much better on the Chapelle Show than he is in this stand up routine, at least this one. He's telling stories but they're so absurd that it's not too funny. It gets much better about halfway through, when he's just laughing and telling jokes about current affairs and stuff.

Kansas vs. Texas
Horns can’t really do anymore than they have the last two weeks. Two dominating performances over two much improved Big 12 opponents, both Baylor and Kansas have very solid defenses and the Texas offense went through them like they weren’t even there. Completely dominant and very balanced. We ran and passed at will. The defense has done their job as well. Today the Kansas offense was completely shut down during the first half, not only kept off the scoreboard but had only a single first down in the half. Texas is playing like the best all around team in the country right now.
By the way, Alabama just lost in overtime to LSU and Texas and USC are now the only two undefeated teams. No controversy this year. Finally, if the Longhorns win their next two games they’ll be in Pasadena in January.

Texas at Oklahoma State
Holy crap. Let's not play the Cowboys again for a while. If we drop too much in the polls, I'm going to shoot someone.

Astros in the World Series
Game 1 of the World Series is tonight. Houston really needs to win one of two in Chicago against the White Sox if they want to win this series. Should be pretty good match up, lots of good pitching and whoever wins will do so because of timely hitting.

Texas Tech at Texas
I have a feeling USC will get a lot more credit for beating #9 Notre Dame by 4 than we will for beating #10 (and #7 in the BCS) Texas Tech by 35. A completely dominating performance by both sides of the ball today and once again I don’t think we played near our best football game. Vince Young finished the game only 12 of 22, but had 239 yards and two touchdowns and made the plays he needed to win the game. Jamaal Charles looked to be about 75% and was clearly limited both by his ankle and the coaches, so Selvin Young stepped up and had a great game. He had 76 yards on the ground and added two good TD runs and just as importantly didn’t put the ball on the ground once. The defense played solid all game long, holding Texas Tech well below their season averages despite the fact that our quick strike offense gave them the ball often. Sure tackling and excellent play by the secondary made it a long game for Mike Leach’s boys.

Batman Begins
Get it from Amazon.com.
Really great and entertaining movie, certainly the best Batman movie ever made. Good storyline and great action throughout. One thing that bothered me is why were Batman's gadgets more advanced in the past?
