Mission Impossible: III

Tom Cruise is back with the third installment directed and written by J.J. Abrams (Alias and Lost) and starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Keri Russell. If this movie wasn’t directed by J.J. Abrams, I wouldn’t have wanted to watch it. I loved the first movie when it came out....

Shopgirl

Claire Danes is lonely when she meets bumbling Jason Schwartzman and starts to date him. She is then wooed with more wit and style by Steve Martin. I watched this movie in Dallas since I was trying to pick a movie that I didn’t think Jer would want to...

Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are secret assassins that are keeping their secret jobs from one another until they both are hired for the same job. I knew this would be a fluff movie. It was, but the chemistry between Brad and Angelina actually came through, which doesn’t always...

Will Smith plays a little fish who everyone thinks is a shark slayer, but the shark is really his friend who isn’t interested in eating fish so helps his buddy get a big reputation. Can he keep the secret? Jer and I watched this on cable a while back....

Wedding Crashers

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are divorce mediators who spend their summers crashing weddings to hook up with chicks and score free drinks. On the surface, this sounds exactly like the kind of movie that I would enjoy. I mean, it has crazy Vince Vaughn, Christoper Walken, the foxy...

Junebug

A big-city art dealer goes to North Carolina to meet her new husband’s family who isn’t too sure of the stranger, except for her brother-in-law’s very pregnant fiance who is fascinated with everything about her and her life outside of North Carolina. Towards the beginning of the movie, we...

Spellbound

High strung, nail-biting, intense competition of spelling bees! No really, it’s true! A documentary that follows eight 8th graders as they go to compete in the 1999 National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C. I can’t find the information anywhere now, but I thought I read when this movie came...

Crash

A bunch of people with various backgrounds and races all collide in Los Angeles. I had to trick Jer into seeing this movie. I didn’t tell him that this movie is about everyone basically being racist, which could be true, but is still a horrible thought. I knew that...
