MR & MRS SMITH


It’s the film that brought then-married


Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (both


pictured) together – to the surprise


of very few, their on-screen chemistry


simply undeniable. The pair makes


being undercover assassins look


sexy as hell as John and Jane Smith,


who only discover their spouse’s


secret identity when each is hired


to kill the other. Action-packed and


gripping right till the end.


THE SHAGGY DOG


After being bitten by a sheepdog,


deputy district attorney Dave


Douglas (Tim Allen) finds himself


inextricably turning into a canine


at rather inopportune times! But


as he ingratiates himself with his


family as the cuddly pooch, the


workaholic finds himself privy to


invaluable insights into his failings


when it comes to his wife and two


kids, and vows to change his ways.
