Just when you think you have the formula figured out, Grafton throws a wrench into things. I hope there are more like this because it was one of my favorites so far. It didn’t hurt that there were seemingly fewer characters to keep track of than usual.
My rating: 3.5/5
This was a decent film though a bit convoluted. But, it was worth watching just for Christian Bale–he’s always great! It was kind of a whodunit at West Point, back in the days of yore. There was kind of a lot going on by the end of the movie, but it did have a pretty cool twist at the end. I like a good twist in a story.
My rating: 3/5
When I bought my car 3 years ago (I can’t believe it has been that long), it came with a complimentary 3 year subscription to Bluelink, which gives remote access to the vehicle via an app for tasks like remote start, locking/unlocking doors, checking vehicle status, locating the vehicle via GPS, etc.
In theory, I really liked it, but I didn’t use it much, except for the remote start, which only worked maybe two-thirds of the time (it didn’t work like a typical remote starter, instead the app makes a request and a signal is sent to the car from I don’t know where).
Last week, it was time to renew and I couldn’t justify the yearly charge of $200, so now I am without Bluelink. Of course, it expired on one of the coldest days of the year, so I got to drive to work in a freezing car that morning. I still don’t think it’s worth the $200, though.
I guess if I’m that worried about it, I could always get an aftermarket remote starter installed, but I probably won’t do that. I really only use it when it’s cold and I only go into the office 2 days a week and I hardly go anywhere else, so it doesn’t seem like it’s worth the expense.
I exited the Tom Cruise bandwagon quite some time ago, but that’s not going to keep me from watching a good movie. This one was quite an entertaining action flick. I can’t remember how it compares to the original as that was too long ago, but it definitely stands on its own.

I painted the living room Chic Gray today. That was a job, but at least it’s done! Well, sort of. I need to paint the window trim and exterior door (both will be white) and will be doing that soon. The above photo was prior to rehanging the artwork and tv. The dogs were exhausted from watching me work.
