Ask Tamara: Baby Mama Drama!

Rina Risper15 years ago06 mins

Should I get out of the relationship now before it gets to deep and allow her to win, or should I hang in there and straighten her out?

The MKX sported what Lincoln calls its split-wing grille. I call it Lincoln’s butterfly face. No matter, the point of it is that grille was distinctive and it made the vehicle easily recognizable as a Lincoln.

“THE TOURIST”: The star power and the scenery are the main attractions of this romantic adventure with definite echoes of “North by Northwest.” Johnny Depp plays a bookish American who’s visiting Europe when his path crosses that of an attractive mystery woman (Angelina Jolie). She quickly draws him into a dangerous case of mistaken identity that plays out in such cities as Paris and Venice. The supporting cast includes Paul Bettany, Timothy Dalton and Rufus Sewell. DVD extras: two “making-of” documentaries; audio commentary by director Florian Henckel Von Donnersmarck; outtakes; alternate title sequences. *** (PG-13: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray)
