5 Top Tom Cruise movies

[bobsticks]

This is some of my favorite work of his. Note the maleable arms denoting, along with the palsied expression, his ability to climb within the role of Xenon the thetan with an intrinsically good, omniscient, non-material core capable of unlimited creativity. And look at Oprah convey the tremulous recognition of a spirituality beyond her understanding. Amazing how Cruise can bring out the best of any taught-faced thespian.

okay...I liked him Top Gun...

Despite all the political crap that's constantly brought up, and pixelthis, THIS is a big reason why I come back to this board. 'sticks, I think you and I should change user titles, because, YOU are out there! And I mean that in a good way.

I liked "Jerry Maguire", but it was more because I liked Cuba Gooding's character and how well he played it. "Top Gun" was good; the sound track kicked ass, and I liked "Minority Report", because of, yeah, cool gadgets. I think TC is just one of those people where you either love him or hate him.

So, what was the question?

Perhaps. But I don't love or hate him. I think that in his personal life he's probably a total dumbass who has always managed to get by on his looks...although I've never thought him to be particularly good looking. But, as an actor, I do feel that he deserves respect for some of his roles.

Brad Pitt falls into this category for me too. I never really got why people think that he's so sexy. But he kicks butt in films like 12 Monkeys and Kalifornia.

Yeah, I respect these guys more as artists when they abandon the prettyboy roles and go for something different. Pitt's character's looks and mannerisms in Kalifornia reminded me of some guys around my home town. I also like his stoner guy in True Romance. I didn't care for Patrick Swayze at all until he pulled off the self-help guru/child pornographer in Donnie Darko.

So, everybody is going to go see his latest movie: "Knight & Day" with Cameron Diaz, RIGHT?

Could be decent renter perhaps. Cameron Diaz is cute and can make me laugh. Without having seen it, I suspect that one would be filed in that "mediocre" category that I mentioned.

As Men on Films would say in unison, "Hated It!"
