Quick Movie Reviews

Mrs. And Mrs. Smith

Angelina Jolie is hot (those lips!). So is Brad Pitt (those abs!). I couldn’t figure out who was hotter. Things blow up. There’s sex but not the kind where people take off their clothes. Otherwise, the plot had more holes than Swiss cheese. In other words, a good, brainless night at the movies.

Be Cool

The best thing about this film is The Rock playing a gay man. And Harvey “the best thing about a bad movie” Keitel is always a treat. Aerosmith is featured, so it looses points for that. And, well, mid-way through the thing one wonders if a sequel to Get Shorty was at all necessary. All signs point to no.

The Hours

After years of hype and avoidance, I willingly watched this film, mostly to see how Virginia Woolf was represented by everyone’s favorite Australian ex-beard of Tom Cruise. Not a bad job by Nicole but I found the film a bit overlong and excruciatingly sad. I like sad—and dark and bleak—as much as the next guy, but this film, to quote the hippies, “Bummed me out.”

That’s all for today. More soon.
