Just saw Mission Impossible III (imdb | rotten tomatoes). It was better than I expected. Or rather, it didn’t suck nearly as bad as it could have or as much as I expected it to. As far as summer movies go it was a decent one, with more slick action than aimless blabbing, and thankfully Philip Seymour Hoffman’s a skilled enough actor to make a stock villain seem somewhat interesting. It wasn’t as stylized as II (courtesy of John Woo and his violence doves…); instead it seemed just like an elongated episode of Alias. I wonder if that’s what the director pla…what’s that? It was directed by…ah. Okay. That makes sense then.

By the way: Tom Cruise pawing at some girl who looks very much Katie Holmes is no less creepy than him pawing at the real Katie Holmes. Just sayin’.
