i wouldn't go see this no matter who was starring or directing. it just looks stupid and vapid. however, speilburg HAS made some decent films. so has ron howard for that matter (parenthood is great in my opnion), however, if i'm gonna go see a science fiction/horror flick this weekend, it's gonna be "land of the dead." i know this movie probably won't do much in the theater (neither did "night of the living dead" or "dawn of the dead" [romereo's versions -- both cult classics]), but i think this guy is actually a very good filmmaker. i mean, if you watch those first two Dead films (the third, by the way was re-written at the last minute because of budget problems and, therefor, wasn't that great, but still OK) you see a complicated story with actual socio-political points in them. that's more than i can say for ANY of the movies out now (horror or otherwise).
