I rented a few movies this weekend:

The Hunted - Tommy Lee Jones, Benicio del Toro. Directed by William Friedkin (French Connection). With all the talent involved, you'd think this would have been a decent movie. It wasn't. Bad editing, ambiguous writing and del Toro's way off-the-mark performance made this one a big disappointment. Tommy Lee Jones looks awesome with a beard, though.

Bring Down the House - Steve Martin, Queen Latifah, Eugene Levy. Liked this one, laughed out loud in a few spots. This movie has been made a million times before, but the leads make it fresh.

The Kid Stays in the Picture - Fascinating and funny ego trip/"documentary" on Hollywood producer Robert Evans, narrated by Robert Evans. If you have any interest in behind-the-scenes Hollywood stuff, and can understand Evans' mumble, it's worth watching. Evans is the producer responsible for such films as Love Story, Chinatown, The Godfather, Marathon Man, and, if you believe him, for the resurrection of the flagging Paramount Studios. It has a sort of a Sunset Boulevard feel to it.

I also rented Rabbit Proof Fence, but I had a killer headache last night and just couldn't stay up late enough to watch it. I'm keeping it for an extra day, and hope to be able to watch it tonight, after MI-5.
