Markie goes to movies (so you don't have to)

Mission Impossible (dir. J. J. Abrams) This one is relatively professionally made and, though it's too long by 15 minutes, it keeps its momentum through the last 40 minutes. The main problem I have with it is that Tom Cruise is its star and producer, so the director's focus is on using as many "ain't Tom Cruise hot shit?" shots as possible. Which is too bad because he's surrounded by good actors: Ving Rhames as the worrywart head of the IMN Unit (Tom explains right near the end of the movie), Billy Crudup as Tom's friend inside (or is he?), Lawrence Fishburne as his tough-but-fair boss (or is he?). And last, but not least, is Michelle Williams, acting like Lindsay Lohan with a brain, in the thankless Tom Cruise Girlfriend role. So if you don't focus too closely on what hot shit Tom Cruise is, you might enjoy this. Mark's review (stupid points) ???
