• The Matrix Revolutions would have been an okay movie had they cut the first 45 minutes off of it. Not good -- but watchable.
  
• Coming to a theater near you: Tom Cruise in Dances with Swords.
  
• Much as it scares me to say this, Troy looks as if it might be pretty good.
  
• Dec. 19 isn't too far off . . .
  
• The guy who sings the background songs in those Budweiser "Real Men of Genius" ads is the lead singer of Survivor (yes -- that Survivor - "Eye of the Tiger", "High on You", etc. Not the gameshow where pretty people live in the wild and preen for the camera).
