Night at the Museum
Before you read this, watch this trailer. I saw it first when I went to go see Pirates 2, and as much as I already love trailers, this got me really excited.I'm sorry, but everything about this movie looks amazing to me. I know it's not coming out until December, and there are plenty of other movies that are probably a
lot better than this one will be, but when I first saw the trailer, it reminded me of everything that's just so good about the movies, and everything I especially love.
First, look at the cast. Your jaw should drop. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are funny enough, but add in Robin Williams, as well as the legendary Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney, and you have an A-list cast in all ways, quality and quantity. Second of all, the movie 
takes place in a museum. Classic setting for adventure. Third, it's a huge, famous, important museum in New York City. At what appears to be, judging by the trailer, Christmastime. The best time of the year to be in New York City! There's magic, and history, and comedy, and Teddy Roosevelt - who, as the boyfriend likes to believe and I tend to agree with him, is the Samuel L. Jackson of presidents. A B.A.M.F.It's true that the film is formulaic - obviously, as I was able to so quickly (albeit lightly) disect it. But, forgive me for saying this, it's formulaic in a good way. At least it is for me. It's not going to revolutionize cinema, but it looks so friggin' awesome. Plus, what a fantastic name and poster.

Beware, Paramount. If Crazy Tom Cruise (So crazy!) and his Cult of Scientology can voodoo the South Park guys from winning an Emmy for just making fun of his crazy self and his cult, imagine what he's going to do to you for firing him. It seems the studio doesn't want to be associated with the star anymore. Neither does the rest of Planet Earth, I'm sorry to say.
