Mission: Impossible III
Contrary to what many closet religious bigots would like to believe, Tom Cruise is not the problem with this film. First, there's Keri Russell. The scenes where she's training -- and we're supposed to believe she's one of the best agents ever -- are hilarious. Second, Johnathan Rhys Meyers. A theater critic once described Joey Tribbiani as being "not believable as a human being." The same could be said for this accidental star. ("Bend it Like Beckham" was great and "Velvet Goldmine" was okay -- but certainly not because of this putz.) Third, J.J. Abrams. His involvement with "Alias" isn't worth much, his "Lost" ties don't earn him much cred given its recent problems, and "Felicity" wasn't great. He's not God's gift to TV, and he certainly isn't to movies either. Philip Seymour Hoffman was okay, though. Also, I'm not sure why it's PG-13, given what happens 4:42 into track 9. Go Maggie Q!

ok, i hate tom cruise and won't see tom cruise movies because he's an idiot, and annoying, and toothy,and short, and a hack--not because i'm a religious bigot. and not that i am not a religious bigot. i just hate tom cruise especially. i agree with you on the jonathan rhys meyers or however he spells his name though. he's creepy. he was totally tolerable in match point though.
