Tonight’s movie: Gone in 60 Seconds

Vroom vroom! Fast cars, a sexy woman, and some inexplicable explosions generate the heat in Gone in 60 Seconds. Nicholas Cage plays a reformed auto thief who gets pulled back in against his will (how else can we be sympathetic?) when his younger brother (slimy Giovanni Ribisi) gets in a mess with a psychopathic Englishman (Christopher Eccleston). Robert Duvall plays his also-retired mentor, Angelina Jolie is his pissed off but still, under it all, in love girlfriend, and Ving Rhames is a cop who can never catch Cage even when he has him under a gun. This moronic movie can be enjoyed if you ignore the script and just drool over all the classic sports cars that get ripped off.
