Monday's episode of "Raw" was pretty good, with lots of strong build-up for the "Bad Blood" PPV on Sunday. The women's tag match was very solid, and even better than many men's mid-card matches lately. Mick Foley came back as the surprise ref for the Hell in a Cell match on Sunday, and his return was effective --- especially because it took the focus of the main event off of Kevin Nash, who is deservedly considered a flop by most fans in this current feud with Triple H.

On the slower Blog days, when I haven't seen, heard, or done anything new in regards to pop culture, I'll throw out some lists of favorite things of mine. I'll start today with my top 10 list of favorite dramas (keeping you in suspense as I present similar lists before eventually getting to my top 10 favorite films):

1. "Blue Velvet" --- Still as divisive as it was when it was first released. A disturbing, entertaining film that deftly blends surrealism and white-picket-fence America (as well as its underbelly).

2. "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover" --- As beautiful to look at as its characters and their actions are repulsive. A stuuning piece of filmmaking, not for the faint of heart.

3. "Exotica" --- PLEASE don't let the misleading "erotic thriller" video box art fool you. This is an intelligent, enigmatic, rewarding film.

4. "Taxi Driver" --- This masterpiece holds up today as well as it did in the seventies. Scorsese and DeNiro are marvelous here.

5. "Mulholland Drive" --- Good luck trying to figure this one out. Better you should just go along for the ride with David Lynch, and enjoy the view.

6. "Bitter Moon" --- Roman Polanski at his most wicked. NOT a first-date flick --- unless you and that date are miraculously like-minded in that "I love warped movies" sense.

7. "Red" --- I remember continuosly thinking to myself when I first saw this in the theater, "This is why I love movies."

8. "L.A. Confidential" --- Just wonderful.

9. "The King of Comedy" --- So how badly do you want to be a celebrity? You may reconsider after watching this.

10. "Patty Hearst" --- Natasha Richardson's star-turn verhicle is at times harrowing, but provides several laughs that you might not feel all that comfortable with.

Notice any disturbing recurring patterns or themes?
