    I thought she was OK. I think she'll be a bit more mature and less annoying on screen in her next showing. plus, be careful what you wish for. I could see them going w/ someone far more agenda driven than based on acting chops.

    B / low budget movies that should have a modern remake.

    My company got us a free year of an investment advisor for our 401ks. They did some shuffling and sent pretty reports once a quarter, didn't change my mix much but did enough that I can't assume much by each fund now.
