A knight in shining artillery
Trust is a must in the new action/comedy/romance “Knight and Day,” starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. Cruise plays a calm, hard-core former covert agent on the run. Diaz is his unsuspecting sidekick. Hang on for a comedic, international thrill ride. PG-13.

In Adam Sandler’s newest kid comedy, “Grown Ups,” five old buddies and former highschool teammates decide to get together for a holiday weekend — with their families in tow. Times change, but apparently these guys don’t, as these grown-ups are anything but. PG-13.
