Sunset begins with two master thieves, Max Burdett (Brosnan) and the luscious Lola Cirillo (Salma Hayek), completing the heist of a one-of-a-kind diamond and then jetting to a tropical island paradise to enjoy their retirement. Unbeknownst to them, FBI agent Stanley Lloyd (Woody Harrelson), still simmering from his botched attempt to prevent their robbery, has tracked them down. He informs them that he knows they have selected the island as part of a plot to steal another rare diamond and declares that he will catch them in the act. That Agent Lloyd actually believes that this...

But unless you accelerate gently, the engine will come on at lower speeds. Also, the engine revved noticeably loudly when I increased speed on the freeway...
...repeats the word “yogalates.” Die-hard O.C. fans—such as myself, I am ashamed to admit—will know exactly what I’m talking about. In fact, it’s not only the homesick Southern Californians who enjoy the show; it’s become a serious phenomenon. Internet blogs debate the merits of Summer versus Anna, and Friendster profiles exist for every one of the show’s major and minor characters. There are even O.C.-themed drinking games (every time Summer says...
