Ebert & Ernie
So, Jill and I saw Mr. & Mrs. Smith last night. Was it the best film of 2005? No. Was it a lot of fun and enjoyable (like a good Bruckheimer movie)? Yes. I enjoyed it, suspended disbelief and went for the ride. I think the two play very well off of each other and their banter under extreme conditions is very funny.
I appreciated that both were string characters. As Jill aptly pointed out, movies like this tend to make the female character weaker... not the case with this one.
There's lots of good action and a number of laughs. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have a fun movie experience and isn't a film snob. You know the kind... the ones who think if it aint PT Anderson then it aint good.

Sin City was great.
Many people would be turned off by it, I think, but the "live action graphic-novel-nee-comic-book" really appealed to me.
And Jessica Alba too, she also appealed to me.
Star Wars was pretty good, definitely the best of the prequels. We can't wait for MMSmith either, nor CatCF; I am really looking forward to a dark, creepy, haunted Christian Bale (sp?) as Batman.
I have to admit... as much as the voice inside me tells me it's gonna SUCK... the previews for Fantastic 4 look really good. And I love the dud from Nip/Tuck playing Doom. I dunno... I may have to Czech it out.

They had no choice. Would anyone believe that Mr. Pitt could kick Angie's ass?
