Have you seen this movie!?
What catches your spying-eye radar!?

So, last week, 1941’s ‘Mr & Mrs Smith’ was featured HERE & this past Tuesday, the same-name TV show HERE; now, the 2005 edition of ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’. This film is a romantic comedy action motion picture, written by Simon Kinberg & directed by Doug Liman. Kinberg’s idea was sparked by listening to his friends, in marriage therapy; their description of it (“aggressive & mercenary”) seemed like an “interesting template for a relationship inside of an action film.” The movie (about an upper-middle class couple surprised to learn they are assassins hired by competing agencies to kill each other) was released 06/07/2005, entering theaters 06/10/2005, & despite lukewarm critics, was a box office darling, ranking at the top its opening weekend. The soundtrack features several familiar favorites, including The Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’”, Air Supply’s “Making Love Out Of Nothing At All” & Captain & Tennille’s “Love Will Keep Us Together”. The cast includes Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie in the title roles, with Vince Vaughn, Adam Brody, Kerry Washington, Keith David, Chris Weitz, Rachael Huntley, Michelle Monaghan, Stephanie March, Jennifer Morrison, William Fichtner & Angela Bassett.
