Movies' worth

It's said that the real worth of a movie is measured in what it does for its audience.

Very well then...

THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM, about Jason Bourne's quest for his identity, is worth 10 consecutive rides in Enchanted Kingdom's Space Shuttle. It made my head and stomach twist and turn from all that verite-style camera work and fast cuts.

WAITRESS, about a waitress (Felicity's Keri Russell) who has an almost supernatural skill for baking unbelievably forget-your-name pies, is worth several plates of spicy Italian pasta. It made me want to eat a whole roll of chocolate cake.

HAIRSPRAY, about a singing and dancing John Travolta in drag, is worth a full bottle of uppers. It made me want to shi-freaking-mmy from the theater all the way to the house.

A LOVE STORY, about Aga's fabulously sculpted new bod, is worth an "excellence in marketing" award. It made me want to hit the gym every day of the week.
