Lists

List are fun, but more fun still is having something of my own to say about the items that I post in the lists. Consider movies. We rented a Jodie Foster movie on Saturday. We were looking through the relatively small selection of BlueRay movies at the local blockbuster and spotted The Brave One, starring Jodie Foster.

The title is not at all promising, but Foster is a fine actor, so we rented it. Sure enough, her performance was mostly up to her usual standard. It is an action sort of film dealing with revenge in a way that many "justice" people will find most satisfying. The good bit is the angst of the main character in trying to deal with what her life has become.

The bad bit is that the ending is terrible, all right out of a fairy tale: they lived happily (sort of) ever after. I realliy admire Jodie Foster's work, but the writers and director sure let her down this time.

There, that feels better.
