An interesting coincidence that the three biggest take-down movies of the holiday season -- The Producers, King Kong and Munich -- are all Universal releases. Did I just say that? I just know that prior to every holiday season a journo consensus forms about which of the big hoo-hahs are cruisin' for a bruisin' in the biggest, most self-aggrandizing way...movies coming in with such high expectations that's probably a good idea to smack them down on general principle. I don't want to hate anything or anyone, but if I had to predict which of the Big Three will give forward-thinking moviegoers the most difficulty, I would have to presume The Producers, closely followed by King Kong. I'll be surprised if Munich is a problem on its own terms, but the teaser trailer (see item below) suggest that expectations are way overblown.
