It's Movie #3 for Boys of Summer Month! It's the first matchup of TWO go-to professionals that know what it takes to open a movie. in 2002, Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg brought as Minority Report! And they brought along a lot of friends in front of the camera, as well as behind the lens, too. From IMDB: In a future where a special police unit is able to arrest murderers before they commit their crimes, an officer from that unit is himself accused of a future murder. ENJOY! WHILE IT'S TRUE THE WGA STRIKE IS OVER, AND EVEN IF SAG GETS THEIR'S TOGETHER, WORKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE GOING TO BE STRUGGLING FOR A WHILE. THE OVERWHELMING BURDEN OF PUTTING FOOD ON THE TABLE AND A ROOF OVER ONE'S HEAD DOESN'T END THE INSTANT THE DEALS ARE RATIFIED. IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE PRODUCTIONS GET UP TO SPEED AGAIN. THAT LEADS RIGHT INTO THE INDUSTRY'S USUAL WINTER/HOLIDAY HIATUS. WILL THAT BE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR? WHO KNOWS. BUT EVEN IF THEY WORK THROUGH THAT USUAL BREAK, MANY FAMILIES ARE GOING TO NEED ASSISTANCE. THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN HELP.

Movie #2 of BOYS OF SUMMER is the first massive $20mn payday for then rising star Jim Carrey with The Cable Guy! Following his Reality Bites the year before, Ben Stiller helms this 1996 dark comedy with a fantastic cast of Matthew Broderick, Leslie Mann, Jack Black, and George Segal. (Along with a bunch of other supporting performers from Stiller's stable.) ENJOY!
