sahara isn't a bad movie

[astroglide]

i ended up renting sahara because the other movies i wanted weren't in. i was expecting crap because of the 40% on rottentomatoes but i was fairly surprised. penelope cruz's character is useless, it should be about 15 minutes shorter, and there are a few moments where you obviously have to look past things but overall it was pretty fun.

matthew was entertaining, his sidekick worked, the exploration stuff was amusing enough, and it was good to see the merovingian from matrix 2/3 in another movie. i was AMAZED at how good the dvd actually looked though, it's probably the best one i've seen on my tv so far.

worth picking up with low expectations when you're out of ideas. way better than stuff like the core.
