Super 8

Perhaps the best picture of the year so far. Despite the Steven Spielberg emphasis on the kids it was so well directed...who oh JJ Abrams sorry that was silly....well done.

Knight and Day (2010)

This is after the fact. Critics panned it. It cost $117,000,000 (estimated) to make and grossed a meager $258,804,462 (Worldwide) (15 November 2010) So so, not a blow out but not a loser by any means. Call me crazy but I've been a Tom Cruise fan for a long time. My favorite of Tom's is Mission Impossible and Minority Report.

In this movie I think he was better cast than all my favorites. He plays the role with that movie star flare that just blends well with the writing. Cameron Diaz plays opposite and I have a hard time tearing my eyes off her. It's worth a look if you haven't seen it.
