Elektra

* Whenever Jennifer Garner is in a movie, and wears red leather, I'm going to rent it. Just on principle.

* Allergies. YUCK. I thought spring was going by great this year, and then something must've bloomed.

* Everyone was thinking that the fiance of the runaway bride was another Scott Peterson. Now, the runaway bride comes across as the goofball. What's wrong with her eyes, anyways? I think the fiance was the lucky one, finding out that the runaway bride is a complete nutcase prior to exchanging vows. But then he comes on TV and says he's all still for her and wanting to be with her. Uh, maybe they deserve each other. Goofy.

* Elektra begins the movie as an assassin, who whispers to her victims prior to their demise. She discovers her true self when she meets and tries to protect a father and daugher from the Hand of evil. Not Dr. Evil, just the Hand of evil.

* Tracy McGrady had his toe on the line, but that would've been a great last second shot against the Mavs last night. Didn't go in. If it did, the replay would've killed it. But geez, how come somebody on Dallas didn't guard him? First job was to get the rebound, but somebody had to be on McGrady just in case Plan A didn't work out.

* The Hand of evil consists of supernatural assassins, each with their own unique talents. One was called Tattoo, and he was nothing like the Fantasy Island Tattoo. This guy had animal tattoos that came to life to wreak havoc. Stone, who had a rock-hard body that seemed impervious to everything - well, most everything. And Typhoid Mary, who infected and killed everything she touched - well, most everything. As always, the villians seem to be unstoppable, except for the hero Elektra who pretty much disposes of them with ease.

* Alright, on 24 last night Jack went Rambo in the Chinese embassy to get a guy who was involved with the stealing of the nuke. Of course, he waltzed right in, got the guy, and waltzed right out with the help of CTU, but not before lots of dead bodies and potential political fallout. When Jack brought the Chinese guy to CTU for emergency surgery, Paul was in surgery so resources were diverted, and Paul died. Former President Palmer, who was doing commercials for insurance companies, is back in charge of getting the nuke back.

* The stock market? Well, Greenspan will speak in about an hour. The volume on the up days hasn't been great. If price and volume are all that matter, then we'd like to see the up days accompanied by higher volume. And, they haven't been. I remain bullish.

* Oh, and for the sell in May folks, I wonder how that'll work out this year? Lots of folks do seasonal investing, which is a mechanical system where they sell in May, and buy back in November. Will it work out? I don't think so this year. We'll see.

* I like these movies that are supernatural themed. People who have some sort of ability of thought or combat. And notice how they all have their own personal demons they're fighting? But mostly, Elektra wears red leather like it ain't nobody's business.

* Meet the Fockers was a lackluster sequel. It has a few good bits, though.
