I was going to start off my post by saying that I think that Tom Cruise is a good actor who picks roles that don’t require much acting. And for that reason, I don’t like him.

But then I went to IMDB and realized that he’s been in a lot of really great films. I loved him in Born on the Fourth of July and Magnolia (what a great role that was). Then I looked at IMDB and saw Rain Man, and The Colour of Money, and Vanilla Sky, and I realized that he’s not always the fluff actor that I was thinking that he was.

Is he done? I don’t know. He’s still pretty young. His name is still a draw. I suspect that he’s only done if he wants to be. I doubt that he needs to work for the money at this point.
