Decent comedy, three beautiful women showing off in a PG-13 kind of way. Too silly to be great. 3/5 stars.
I didn’t have all that much fun watching the movie White Noise. Michael Keaton isn’t serious enough to play the role that he played–Mr. Mom (and even Batman) suited him far better. Every thing else about the movie just didn’t fit together very well, and the ending was completely unsatisfying. 2/5 stars.
Saw this on my walk to work today, and couldn’t resist giving them some free advertising.

Cars have two degrees of freedom: they can move forward or backward along their longitudinal axis like a train (1) or rotate their longitudinal axis about their vertical [...]
The other night on Microsoft campus, I got stuck doing that repeated start/stop thing that you do at a stopsign when you and another driver can’t decide who’s going to go first. I ended up "winning". We were both headed the same direction. The other driver pulled up next to me at the next stopsign, [...]
