...optimism, so this fall we'll be tempted with not only Ocean's Twelve but also Renee Zellweger and Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason; Wesley Snipes' third vampire film, Blade: Trinity; and in what has to be the first case of a throwaway dirty pun being incarnated into main characters, Meet the Fockers.
