Maybe if this summer's crop of blockbusters were actually blockbusters, I'd be more inclined to update my blog in a timely manner. As such.....
Last week I saw
Knight and Day. Tom Cruise plays a rogue secret agent out to clear his name and Cameron Diaz is the woman who becomes inadvertently entangled in his web. This is obviously not the most original idea and the movie is nothing out of the ordinary. What saves this film for me, however, from being written off are the leads. Cruise and Diaz have an ease and playful chemistry together. Their characters and interaction are fun to watch.
I am (clearly) not the kind of person who enjoys sci-fi/alien/outter space kinds of things; so my viewing of
Predators probably seems a little odd. I'm not familiar with the original
Predator and I hated
AVP, but
Predators wasn't actually that bad. I really liked how the film jumped right into the story - no boring exposition to sit through (an achievement I accredit to the director, whose previous film,
Vacancy, was very similar). It had some good action and who knew Adrien Brody could be so hunky....from the neck down, anyway. :)

did knight and day feel like a mr. mrs. smith rip-off?
I thought about that at one point - especially during the warehouse shoot out - but no, not really.
