After spending 20 minutes on the Internet and another 10 minutes on the phone with my bank trying to resolve an error that turned out to be entirely my fault (thankfully it wasn’t the kind of error that costs money), I emerged from my office, met by the aroma of freshly-brewed coffee.
“Oh,” I said. “You made coffee while I was being dumb. May I have a cup?”
“Sure,” she said, “but I don’t think it’ll help.”
Acres of style, but very little substance. The Spirit is all over the place: campy, serious, and everywhere in between. Eva Mendes is little more than empty-calorie eye candy; Samuel L. Jackson is clearly having fun but even that isn't enough to redeem this dud.

Flashy, violent and physics-defying tale of a fraternity of secret assassins. An entertaining watch with a very familiar feel if you've watched director Timur Bekmambetov's Night Watch and Day Watch.

Some films just don't stand the test of time, and Enter the Ninja is one of them. Fight sequences that once were top-notch now seem awkward and anti-climactic, and the plot is stolen from every Chuck Norris movie ever made.

Hidden beneath the titillation and gore is a subtle, complex and surprisingly rich cautionary tale about the dangers of...oh, who am I kidding? This movie is utter trash and proud of it.

Laura says that the big problem with Get Smart is that it gets too hung up on having a plot. As weird as it sounds, I tend to agree.

Just curious, 8,192 is 2 to the 13th power (2^13), any significance?

@Eric Feldhusen — Well, I deliberately chose a power of 2 in the title because…I like powers of 2. But I realized in retrospect that I chose the wrong power of 2. Our 12th anniversary is coming up in October, so 4,096 (212) would have been a little more synchronous and implied that every year we’re married the reasons I love her double. Of course, it would also have implied that I only loved her for one reason (20) on 12 October 1996, which is certainly not true.
After playing our Wild Cards game with you guys, it is so easy for me to imagine exactly this situation. Love it!
@Kris - Yup, I knew this October is going to be your 12th, so that’s why I asked.
@Jahnoth — I don’t know about you, but the whole “I’m using my newfound superpowers to landscape our lawn” discussion was my favorite part of the entire evening.
