Given
the recent popularity of movies with ghostly themes
like The Sixth Sense and Blair Witch Project, Hollywood
studios are scrambling to come up with new supernatural
film ideas. But
it's difficult for them to leave their old ways
behind, and are prone to revisit their old hits:
Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts star in this hilarious
romantic comedy about two women competing to be
pall bearers at Hugh Grant's funeral. Little do
they know he's not done romancing either of them
yet.
Bruce Willis' character takes a bullet through the
chest during the terrorist takeover of his wife's
office building. The international thugs think they're
home free, until they find their every effort thwarted
by the heroic cop they thought was dead. They catch
him and smash him under an elevator. But his spirit
returns. They wrap him in dynamite and explode him
to bits. But he returns again. Finally they just
give up and throw themselves off the building.
If you thought you'd seen the last of these two
wild-hearted women, you were wrong. Susan Sarandon
and Geena Davis are back visiting their old haunts.
They lead the police on chase after chase, each
time escaping by launching themselves into Bryce
Canyon, Zion Canyon, and into the mouth of Mount
St. Helens.
Early
in the new sequel, the sexy British secret agent
dies of an infected hangnail. Fortunately his superiors
give him a secret pill that enables his ghost--and
his mojo--to return and save the world from the
despotic plans of Dr. Evil and MiniMe.
