We were finally assimilated by the TVblorg after a hiatus of about six years, so what did my wife get for our first viewing? **Men in Black** **Reign of Fire** As you can guess, we batted .500 on this pair. ---

_High Art_. I caught part of it on the Independent Film Channel a few weeks ago, and I finally broke down and rented it when it became obvious they weren’t going to replay it to death like they have _Cookies Fortune_ and _Kicking and Screaming_. ---

On Friday night Dad rented _The Good Girl_ (good!) _The Bourne Identity_ (good!) _Ballistic: Ecks vs Ecker_ (ugggh what a boring movie). ---

I rented a movie called “Double Whammy”. It was pretty solid, it has Dennis Leary and Elizabeth Hurley. Dennis Leary is a policeman and we can all guess what part Elizabeth Hurley plays. It was actually a pretty decent movie and I really hadn’t heard of it before I came accross it in the video store. ---

Didn’t rent anything, but my copy of The Boondock Saints came on Thursday, so I watched it again. Great movie. ---

**Monsoon Wedding**. Beautiful movie! The music was the best thing about it. ---

Finally got around to watching **October Sky** that we got from Netflix a couple of weeks ago. I really like Jake Gyllenhaal. Going to keep an eye on him. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-did-you-rent-last-night/151046.md?page=1)
