The Transporter 2, with Jason Statham. I expect I'll go see any movie with Statham in a fighting role, if for no other reason than since the first Transporter I was so completely surprised to find out he is such a skilled martial artist. That said, I think this was a fun movie; it seemed to me that they took every scene and said, "How can we make this so completely over the top it becomes hilarious?" And damn it, they pulled it off - I could not stop laughing. I think it's good that they definitely were not taking themselves seriously in making this film, as it really isn't anything more than Statham playing up the eponymous character and some relatively original choreography, and they didn't stumble in trying to overreach that like martial arts films often do. Oh, and they poke at the French, in not too mean of a way, that was kind of fun.

Also, two random things I've heard about Tucson and the Southwest lately - one, apparently prickly pear pads and...pears, hm, that was bad syntax. Anyway, that cactus and its fruit are great for helping with diabetes and high cholesterol; they're not really sure why, yet, but think it has something to do with the gums or fibers in cactus that aren't normally found in other plants.

The other thing is just that I heard Tucson compared to Alaskan cities, which seemed odd at first to me, but as the woman with the luscious voice being interviewed on the radio described, Tucson is technically a big city, but it has an inescapably small-town feel, which I think is quite true. Especially when you delve into the more community-aspects of it (bars/coffee shops/local music scene, hell, even dojos, etc), rather than, say, just staying within a university or single-area bubble (like just staying in the more relatively posh Foothills). Though...I suppose even the university turns out kind of like a college-town feel in that area of town, in the end.
