Tom Cruise's newest action film, Knight and Day, took 3rd place in the box office figures this week. Toy Story 3 and Grown Ups held the top 2 spots. How can Cruise lose? Easy. Let's blame the Oprah couch jumping incident or calling Matt Lauer "Glib."
How many years ago was that whole thing? And how many people knew what the word "glib" meant until he said it? Let's move on, shall we?
I know why it didn't do too well at the box office... Because it's a spy comedy. He has one and Ashton Kutcher has one out at the same time. I can't tell the two apart. The tall(relative as the case may be) dark and handsome spy paired up with the attractive blonde. Hmm, nope. Never heard that story before.
Hey, let's put a twist on the story so it's like the wife doesn't know what the husband does? Nope. True Lies with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis. That also seems to be the plot of the Kutcher film too.
Well how about if they both know whats going on? Nada. Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Also, dare I say, Austin Powers? (raises pinky finger up to lips and does an evil laugh)
We've spied ourselves out and it may take a new twist on an old tale to make it interesting. I'm not sure which actor could've put it in first place.
We haven't seen the last of the Tom Cruise hits. But that doesn't mean I want a Top Gun remake either.
