Mr. and Mrs. Smith

From the very first preview I saw for this movie, I was intrigued: Take two top hitmen and marry them. Is it better or worse for the industry? Well, according to upper management, it isn't. To solve the problem, create a situation so they have a reason to kill each other. It seems like an action flick with guns, fist fights, and explosions. However, it is equal parts comedy. Cheesy lines infiltrate every scene. In the previews, Mrs. Smith shoots through a wall at Mr. Smith. Done firing, she calls out, "You alright, baby." Now, expand that type of dialogue to the entire movie. Actually, I might be inclined to categorize this film as romantic comedy (does this admission give away the ending?) rather than action. It's no "When Harry Met Sally," but it doesn't fit the Bond genre either. That said, I did enjoy the movie, but it's time to see a real action movie in "Batman Begins."

Haven't seen it yet but what I've heard can be summarized with "Horrible plot, funny movie, great/witty dialogue."

Oh, and Batman Begins is AWESOME.

I probably won't see Batman Begins until July 4th weekend, but from what I've heard, it will be worth it.
