Note: I rented “Spy Kids” because I was honestly curious about the original that was supposed to be so good that spawned two sequels that are supposed to be godawful. I heard that it was clever and amusing. I certainly did not rent it solely on the fact that Alan Cumming is in this movie. The fact that I also rented “Titus” has no relevance whatsoever. I rented “Titus” because the director Julie Taymour is inventive and innovative, as we saw in “Frida” and Broadway’s “The Lion King”. Sure, it largely features Alan Cumming as well, but this is a moot point.

Just so we’re clear on that.
