What to see? Weekend of June 25th.

I get the feeling sometimes that people don't want to see Tom Cruise succeed. I guess he's had a good run but I'd love to see him in some more serious roles like Born on the Fourth of July.

Independent:
I Am Love - Magnolia - Rated R

Foregin:

Documentary:

Enjoy the movies.
