"We’re less than a week away from the release of Tropic Thunder, and as the reviews and puff pieces make their way onto the web, there’s one thing clearly uniting the media’s coverage: talk of Tom Cruise’s appearance in a small role as a Hollywood studio boss. Everyone seems to agree that he steals the show and that his performance — or the joke surrounding it — is one of the comedy’s major highlights, if not the actual best part. Of course, we can expect a good cameo from Cruise every now and then. He showed up for a bit part in Young Guns and played himself as playing “Austin Powers” in Austin Powers in Goldmember. But from what it sounds like, his role in Tropic Thunder is featured for longer than might qualify as a cameo. Some are regardless referring to the performance as an “extended cameo”, and in theory it certainly fits in with the huge crop of so-called “ironic cameos” that have become popular in movies and TV in the last ten years. Still, despite my not having yet seen th ... "

"The high-quality magazine FHM has come out with a list of 10 of Al Pacino's Greatest Rants... And here it is:10. HeatMichael Mann’s classic crime drama casts Al Pacino as a Los Angeles detective trying to prevent a bank heist. He attempts to gain leverage over the wife of one of the robbers by going after a salesman with whom she’s been having an affair. When the chump asks himself why he was dumb enough to get mixed up with her, Pacino makes it clear—she’s got a great ass! Ferocious, isn’t he?http://www.youtube.com/watc h?v=mlXpX3o3W2Q9. Carlito's WayAl Pacino’s first collaboration with director Brian De Palma since Scarface wastes no time giving fans what they want—a rant. As convicted drug dealer Carlito Brigante, Pacino is released from prison on a technicality but wishes to assure the court and the district attorney (James Rebhorn) that his dealing days are done. This rant stands out as one of the very few times where Pacino ca ... "

"One of those movies that was meant for the audience to root for the plucky heroine, but gets hijacked by the actor or actress that is obviously having the time of their life with a juicy villain role. I found myself very annoyed and frustrated by the main character here. Why in the hell she didn't just quit after the first half an hour of abuse from this boss and snippy coworkers is beyond me, I suppose we are meant to admire her 'stick-to-it-iveness' and enjoy her transformation from dowdy frump to fashion queen, and then root for her to 'learn a big life lesson' and go back to her previous life 'a little wiser for the experience'. Fooey on that.Meryl Streep is the show here. She steals every scene in which she appears, and her dismissive 'that's all' at the end of each machine gun firing monologue is a great capper that so perfectly sums up her attitude towards those she deems her 'inferiors' (which could be just about everyone she ...

"Kudos to Alan Arkin - complete surprise in this category, but an often underappreciated actor (my favorite Alan Arkin roles: Grosse Pointe Blank, Wait Until Dark, Catch 22, Edward Scizzorhands, Glenngerry Glen Ross, Little Miss Sunshine)Kudos to Ennio Morricone, one of my favorite film composers, and a tribute long overdue (my favorite Morricone scores: Once Upon a Time in America, Tie Me Up Tie Me Down, Once Upon a Time in the West, Untouchables)Kudos to Martin Scorcese, long overdue for a TON of work equally worth "

"We all have a few movies that we know by heart. When I was a kid it was the Amazing Chipmonk Adventure. I had seen it so many times that I could recite almost every line in the whole film. Even later in my life I still remember the film fondly, but as I've gotten older my tastes have changed to things a little more groundbreaking. Movies have a real impact on society and it's interesting to see famous quotes make their way into culture whether it was Samuel L. Jackson quoting scripture in Pulp Fiction or Michael Douglas' Greed is good pep talk in Wall St., I'm always fascinated by movies that have great quotes. My favorite movie quote of all time would have to be in Glengarry Glen Ross, when Stephen Baldwin tells Jack Lemmon that Coffee is for closers. If you haven't checked it out, I would encourage you to watch it if you enjoyed films like the Prime Gig or Boiler Room. It's an older film, but it definetely has historical value. Being always on the lookout for new quotes, I ... "
