The trailer devolves a little bit in the final minute, going the standard thriller route of perhaps showing a little too much of the story (or maybe not, you never know). There is also a detective (Demi Moore - I wondered where she was) and a photographer in this mysterious story. A very creepy killer, in a nice turnaround from the good guys that Costner typically plays. Brooks, a successful business man with a loving family. Brooks, I have hope that this will also be added to the list. And now that I've seen the trailer for Mr. Sure, he's had a few duds and had a fairly miserable (and egotistical) stretch in the mid-to-late '90s, but he's also been in some excellent movies and he's turned in some very fine performances too. And I'm not just talking about his baseball movies. You know what? I don't care what anybody else says. Without knowing more I can't imagine that I'll want to see this in the theater, but a DVD rental is looking pretty likely. But what do I know? For all I know kids won't end up having any interest in this. Seemingly at the heart of all this is a stuffed animal named Mimzy. Of course the adults realize this and begin to get involved. The children soon have incredible brain functioning and special telekinetic-type abilities (such as magically moving sugar from its container into a cereal bowl). Two siblings, a boy and a girl, discover a magical box of toys one day and this leads to some amazing and fantastic things. I don't want to set the bar too high, but The Last Mimzy looks like it could be one of them. There are few things more magical in the world of movies than really good children's movies - the ones that adults can appreciate and enjoy as well. Trailer Hitch By Michael Bentley March 7, 2007
