"We’ve known for months that absolutely nothing was wrong with Valkyrie, and now we’re just a few days away from watching this tiny independent feature storm the box office, redeem United Artists as a production entity and make Tom Cruise a respectable household name again. Of course, there is the slight problem: he’s portraying Nazi Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, who may have disagreed with the party politics, but still rocked the swastika and straight salute. How exactly did Cruise, one of the great symbols of the “Blockbuster Film” and American culture, wind up so perfectly suited as a crippled, over-zealous Nazi embroiled in conspiracy? We’ve excavated evidence from his filmography to track the transformation.

"Product placement in movies is now so overdone that we may not even notice it unless a particular film or TV show really hits us over the head with a blatant in-your-face product shot. Otherwise, seeing commercial goods everywhere merely seems like everyday life in capitalist America. Just look at any of the websites that tally up products spotlighted in mainstream movies and you’ll probably be surprised (though not shocked) at how many brands appear in each new release. Did you notice that Blades of Glory contains 38 separate products? Probably not. Many of those products couldn’t have gotten their money’s worth, because the movie doesn’t allow the audience to walk away recalling any one particular item. At a time when TV’s Top Chef and 30 Rock show us how lame blatantly whorish and ironic product placement can get, and while moviegoers are being subjected to more subliminal, suggestive and unintentional advertisements (Speed Racer, Wall-E and

"With the Eliot Spitzer bust and talk of the NSA’s ‘Total Information Awareness’ program back in the wind, I was compelled to take another look at Steven Spielberg’s ‘Minority Report‘. I’d seen the movie and written another review of the movie back in 2002 and wasn’t so impressed with it — I felt that Spielberg had taken the Philip K. Dick material and slicked it up just a bit too much. When Ridley Scott adapted ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep‘ (cf. Blade Runner’ (1982)), he made an exerted attempt to ground his story in a world we’d understand, a polyglot, super-ethnic place that had felt the pre-millenial bleed-in from Hong Kong and other portions of east Asia. Even if Minority Report is set in D.C., "

"Ok so for three consecutive days MovieMind has suggested I watch Children of Men so last night I did and I was impressed. I was a big fan of 12 Monkeys and Wasa told this was similar but better and it think that was a correct assesment. While I didn't find the acting Oscar worthy. The plot was well concieved and written. Kudos to Alfonso Cuarón and Timothy J. Sexton for their writing and also Cuarón's direction. It often seems to me that when the director also writes, things seem to be tighter, unless that person is well...lacking talent. The sets in the movie were awesome every thing was believable. I'm one of thoes agnostic types that just really don't get into things that are "sloppy fiction". This movie, take for instance, the cars in the movie are futuristic not overwelmingly so and they still drive on regular pavement. In twenty years this will most likely be the case, unlike Minority Report or The Fifth Element. This was definatly a da ... "

"OK. This one is gonna be hard for me. I'm calling this my Blade Runner Memorial list, and I'm gonna include Alien as a horror film (maybe I should call this my Ridley Scott memorial list). In fact to keep this interesting I'm going to leave off all of the obvious picks 2001, Close Encounters, Star Wars etc. 1. Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1956) - Truly scary even by today's standards. I never tire of this film. The 1978 version is actually quite good, but the original will always top my list. 2. Dark City (1998) - Dark, Smart, and unlike anything you have seen before, Dark City is hugely Inspired by but not a rip off of Metropolis. One of the best and most underrated films of the past ten years. 3.The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) - Often imitated but never equaled. It still remains one of America's most powerful and important films. 4. Minority Report (2002) - An all to easily forgotten and overlooked film. Minority Report is a Masterpiece of Storytelling and Style. A ... "

"I'm not sure why Spielberg's "Minority Report" got such a lukewarm reception, the same way I'm not sure why the first two films I reviewed on Spout are sci-fi. I do understand why some would not want to see this film: it sounds like something we've already seen, Tom Cruise is a nut job, etc. Those were my reasons anyway, but I still got dragged by my step-dad to see it. Hey, it was his treat so why wouldn't I? The great part about my reluctance was that I had abosolutely no expectations. That makes a great movie even more fun to watch. Now, I haven't seen this film in a while so I won't sum up the plot for you. Google it if you must. I will tell you what's good: - The performances: I cannot stand Tom Cruise and Colin Farrell 95% of the time, but, for some mysterious reason, I found both to be convincing and, shockingly, charismatic. Also, Max von Sydow is the man. But you knew that (I hope).- The action: I bet you also know that Spielberg ... "

"The people I was watching Minority Report with, did not really like it. One walked out, another said “Gross” a few times and went and had a bath, and as soon as the crime was solved, the third headed to bed, with 5 minutes to go. So Steven Spielberg’s movie starring Tom Cruise was not a hit with us. No one mentioned why, but I can guess. As a futuristic crime/suspense set in 2054, Washington, D.C., the emphasis is very much on cold gray interiors and futuristic gadgets such as eye-scanners for identification and “spiders” that can invade buildings and find people. The coldness is not relieved by any warm human relationships, even though there is plenty of opportunity. Tom is distraught because his son was abducted and murdered six years earlier, and that is why Tom got involved in the experiment to stop murders by using three “pre-cogs” or people who can see the future, to stop murders before they are committed. Tom’s estranged wife&m ... "
