This film is FREE for new students! Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005)   September 6, 2005 at 7:00 and 10:00pm in 26-100. Named after a 1941 Alfred Hitchcock film, Mr. and Mrs. Smith is really its own ball of flaming wax, with enough sizzling chemistry between stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to blow up a small building. He shows he is equally adept in comedy and action, and she manages to set new screen standards of bad-ass sexiness. It's impossible to dislike this pair, or a movie that makes being married seem like such insane fun. Pitt and Jolie play extremely skilled professional assassins who have managed to stay married for five years without ever realizing each other's profession because they work for rival agencies and the work is top secret. When their paths eventually cross on a high-level hit, one of the most lethal battles of the sexes in the history of cinema is officially on. The comedy is sophisticated and witty, the action is visceral and intense, and there is plenty of satisfying eye candy. [rottentomatoes.com] "Pitt is smooth, while Jolie has the sexiest, in-your-face screen presence in decades (she's a walking, talking special effect all on her own, and she's a great actress. WOW!). |
