Willie Waffle's DVD Round Up - Angelina and Johnny in The Tourist, Yogi Bear is Back

touristposter.jpgPretty people.  Pretty scenery.  Pretty bland.

Angelina Jolie stars as Elise - a mysterious, sexy woman (who knows how to walk into a room), who is being followed by Scotland Yard.  She is associated with a big time thief who has stolen billions from a mobster, and the two are trying to rendezvous, without the mobster or the fuzz finding them.

To throw everyone off the scent, Elise and her paramour come up with a plan to find a patsy who will draw all of the attention from them as their pursuers will think he is the man they are looking for.  Upon boarding a train to Venice, Elise picks out American math teacher, Frank Tupelo (Johnny Depp), as that patsy.   However, the two seem to have a special spark that jeopardizes the entire plan.

Will the bad guys figure out Frank is not the man they are seeking?

Thumbnail image for yogibearposter.jpgAfter months of mocking the movie and predicting that Yogi Bear would be the film that destroyed my soul, I decided I had to see it.  Sadly, I should have demanded that I be met at the theater with a pic-a-nic basket full of vodka and pumpkin pie.  That has to be the way many on the set got through the experience, so why not me?

Dan Aykroyd provides the voice of Yogi Bear - the smarter than an average bear who spends his days stealing picnic baskets with his buddy Boo Boo (voice by Justin "I just cost myself an Oscar nomination for The Social Network" Timberlake).  Of course, not all is well in Jellystone Park as the evil Mayor Brown (Andrew Daly) has hatched a scheme to sell off the unpopular park to balance the city's budget shortfalls caused by his own mismanagement.

Can Yogi, Boo Boo, Ranger Smith (Tom "Ed" Cavanaugh) and his new gal pal documentarian Rachel (Anna Faris) stop the Mayor?
