Linda Fiorentino in that movie  :worthy:

Last Seduction is pretty good. That film plus Red Rock West and Rounders conform a pretty neat neo-noir tryptic by John Dahl. It's a pity his career died out in the 2000s.

And Ex Machina. [spoiler]Not sure why the robot girl left the tester trapped in the house.  :hmm:[/spoiler] It was ok.
He served his purpose, she had no more use for him.[spoiler]
If she killed him, eventually, police would have investigated the place and search for a killer at large.
Now, he'll be there, dehydrated/starved/whatever, police will assume he killed everyone and found himself trapped inside.[/spoiler]

Star Trek: Insurrection on the telly tonight. It's the only Star Trek movie I have never seen. Yay or nay? Otherwise I will fire up some BR.

Dual Audio right? Otherwise, fire a BR. Insurrection has nothing on Star Trek First contact though.

If it's the only ST movie you've never seen then I'd definitely recommend it for completeness sake.

Insurrection itself is... okay.  It's not terrible (like Nemesis), but it's not brilliant either.  If you're a Trek fan you'll enjoy it, if you're not (but somehow sat through 11 other movies) then I'd give it a pass.

Finally watched the final season of Damages. Man I really did love that show. The finale...[spoiler]a little too Devil Wears Prada in the final moments for my taste.[/spoiler]

Insurrection might be the only Trek film I never managed to finish.

Did you make it through Nemesis?  Final Frontier?

Well, you hardly finish movies in general, so that's not so surprising.

Yea.

But, nay.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Ended up watching a Catalan fantasy flick a friend of mine worked in. It is: boring. Good ideas, soso execution.
