Mr. & Mrs. Smith



I neglected to mention that I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith over the weekend. It ranked a 2.5 out of 5 on Tom's scale of improbable plot elements, but 3.5 out of 5 over-all.

The fact of the matter is, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are probably my favorite male and females actors. Certainly, that's not because of their performance in this particular movie, but they do work well together. There are a few scenes of comic relief, and I'm sure Pitt could do comedy very well if he wanted. I'm not talking Snatch type comedy, but more along the lines of something you'd see Ben Stiller do.

Is it worth paying to go see? I dunno.. but at the very least worth a DVD rental.

I added 12 Monkeys to my netflix queue. I want to see it again..

By the way.. Tom's scale of improbable plot elements describes my annoyance level at scenes involving things that either could not happen, or would be highly unlikely to happen. I wish all Hollywood producers would run their scripts by me so I could re-write the stupid scenes into something more plausible, without ruining the spirit of the movie.
