Tonight we watched Taken (2009,PG-13). From ScreenIt!:
A former CIA agent uses every tool in his arsenal and leaves many bad guys in his wake as he tries to find and rescue his 17-year-old daughter who's been kidnapped into the sex slave trade while vacationing in Paris.
It’s chock full of violence and a bit too far-fetched over and over again. Also, Lisa says the boys are never going to Europe alone.
I give it 3 out of 5.

In this embedded video segment Maddow examines the Republican response to the Christmas Bomber.
Examples:
- Criticizing allowing Abdulmutallab to “lawyer up” even though “shoe bomber” Richard Reid and 9/11 co-conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui were treated the same under Cheney
- Criticizing how long it took Obama to comment despite the fact that Bush waited much longer before commenting about Richard Reid

Last night we watched Revolutionary Road (2008,R). From ScreenIt!:
A 1950s era couple must contend with their unhappy marriage as well as unexpected developments that threaten to derail the wife's plan to save their relationship and make them happy.
I couldn’t help thinking of Mad Men with DiCaprio’s character feeling like a slightly-more-hip Pete Campbell. Also, somehow the dysfunctional families and mood of this film somehow reminded of those in Ang Lee’s The Ice Storm.
I give it 4 out of 5.
