Movie - Salt (2010) [+] CIA Analyst Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) is fingered as a Russian spy. To save her husband she immediately breaks out of the CIA building and therefore is chased by the whole agency including her former mentor and current manager Ted Winter (Liev Schreiber)... I think this is my fourth watching (theater, DVD with commentary and alternate endings, streaming with my brother) and it's still a fairly awesome film with Angelina Jolie playing a badass and a few twists throughout the film.
Movie - The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) [/] Alien spheres land on Earth. In New York's Central Park a figure emerges but is accidentally shot by the army. Astrobiologist Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) is brought in to treat him, an alien in human form named Klaatu (Keanu Reeves). Helen decides to help him escape from a government that is fearful and willing to dissect him for science but it turns out she may be helping the enemy when Klaatu declares Earth must be saved... from humanity.
I watched the original when I was a kid (barely remember any of it) and this version I watched twice. Both times I've been vaguely disappointed -- starts out great but I think I'd rather have a different middle and ending.
KFC Mac & Cheese Bowl [/] KFC macaroni & cheese is not my favorite because it kind of sits there and the pasta is fairly squishy (I like my pasta firmer). But add five chicken nuggets and it turns out edible.
