Knight and Day and Grown Ups open this week. While I wasn’t initially excited for Knight and Day, I have to admit that the trailers are pretty tempting, especially with the popular Muse song “Uprising” playing in the background. Given Tom Cruise’s well-publicized personal life, it’s easy to forget that he is actually a pretty entertaining actor and that he plays the spy role well. (Mission: Impossible ring a bell?). A Wednesday release can be tricky, but let’s see what happens. Review coming soon.
I’m still not sure how I feel about Grown Ups, the cast seems talented enough (with Rob Schneider being the obvious exception), but Adam Sandler’s recent movies have been pretty weak (the name Zohan jumps to mind). Sony Pictures is being pretty aggressive with its marketing campaign, but they may be risking consumer overload. The cast was annoying enough at the NBA Finals, but who hasn’t seen the preview of them peeing in the public pool a dozen times? I’ll try to be as fair as possible. Check back soon.
