Summer

Manohla Dargis's MI3 review in the New York Times references "Mr. Abrams's inability to adapt his small-screen talent -- evident in his capacity as the television auteur behind "Alias" and "Lost" -- to a larger canvas.".

Manohla, Manohla, Manohla, give me a break. Mission Impossible III is a great summer movie. Ask me two years from now what it was about and I might remember a few plot points and something about Philip Seymour Hoffman hanging out of a plane, but that's not the point of a summer flick. I came out of the theater fully entertained and I'm psyched about the summer to come. Superman? X-Men? Pixar? Will Ferrell in a NASCAR comedy? Oh, it's gonna be a good one. And I might even enjoy a few days in the sunshine too.
