Mr. & Mrs. Smith

[dlgood]

Saw this on Sunday. Turned out to be a fairly decent movie to watch. It wasn't great by any stretch, and I think there were some clear issues. There's just not a lot of depth to this movie. However, it has one of the best movie scenes ever. So overall, I was entertained.

And, boy, that Angelina Jolie is quite the impressive actress. Who knows whether or not Jolie and Pitt are doing it, but I could believe it. Also - Brad Pitt needs to stay away from period pieces and do more ironic/dark comedy. He's not really all that great of an actor, but he's got lots of charm. He works fine here as the sitcom doofus husband character married to a woman who is just way more than he's aware of.

Yeah, that was a nice scene, with the "Does she know that I know? Does she know that I know that she knows? Does he know that I know that he knows that I know?" I spent several minutes trying to figure out what the hell was going through their heads after the wine bottle, cause when you think about it, that's one brilliant reveal.

I thought it was a really nice touch that she recognized him from his pre-urination dance. And we'd never seen it before, but it was just one of those things you would recognize if you'd been married for five or six years.

Yeah, that was nifty. I sort of expected him to recognize his wife's business address when he got it, but OTOH, I do know a lot of guys that wouldn't be able to.
