Here’s a link to the trailer for “Tower Heist,’ the new film from Brett Ratner (the director of “X3: The Last Stand” who didn’t care enough about what he was doing to actually read the comic–we’re not talking about “War And Peace” here–that the film was based upon).

Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy are capable of great things, though why do I get the feeling that Brett Ratner isn’t the man to bring such qualities out in them?

As if to confirm my fears, Eddie Murphy’s character is named ‘Slide.’

Slide!?  That’s not a name, it’s what things do on wet or slippery surfaces.

I am already not liking this movie.
