I may have a year ago - Stephanie Romanov is a costar.
Worth watching?
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I guess I have seen ads for Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
There's one prominently pasted on the wall of the Metro station nearest to work. I'm very aware that a movie by that name opens 6/10. Not aware of anything about it, unless it's intended to be a Thin Man-type flick.

Dear George Lucas,
Creating rebel alliance = good. "No, it's because I'm in love with you" = bad. Please make a note of it.
Kthxbye
I'm also looking forward to Mr & Mrs Smith. Bring on the sexy fighting!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
But Batman Begins and RotS are everywhere. Madagascar, Mr & Mrs Smith, Bewitched, The Island, War of the Worlds-- we're running out of weekend to contain the onslaught of advertising overkill. I'm just surprised that Stealth is seemingly underpromoted right now, but maybe they don't want to spoil momentum.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I haven't seen anything for The Island, and I want to. Okay with missing out on Bewitched, and wish there were less Madagascar.
Fred -- Mr & Mrs Smith has Brad and Angelina beating the everloving tar out of each other. Looks like fun.

Madagascar has psychotic penguins. It looks like total crap, but...psychotic penguins! I may not have the willpower to stay away.
I thought I was interested in War of the Worlds, but the more previews I see, the more I realize I'm actually not. Minority Report cured me of ever wanting to see another Cruise/Spielberg production, and this one doesn't even have Colin Farrell.

I'm not sure if the untitled Mike Judge movie is coming out this summer; 40 Year Old Virgin is coming in August.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
War of the Cruise
Mr. Cruise, I knew Orson Welles (in the sense of never having met him). Orson Welles was a friend of mine. You, Mr. Cruise, are no Orson Welles.
I guess I'd heard about that movie. What do you want to bet that the ending does not involve the saving of the earth by microbes?

It really has. The trailer was fun.
