"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 ... "

"Did you not see her? ... maybe that's just me ---had a crush on Uma Thurman since I saw her as Maid Marian in Robin Hood with Patrick Bergin (though just my luck she's probably something like 90 now ...).Well, I know the Jesus-story forwards and backwards, so it's hard to tell whether anything I noticed in it was just my imagination (Uma) or something actually worth noting.One of those things was the 'brotherhood' of the disciples---how any of the disciples could've (and any good ones would have ... 'disciple' meaning 'replacement-in-training&# 39;) stood in for Jesus. That gives creedence to theories that there was no Jesus ... that 'Jesus' was just a name twelve good friends gave their moralityThat made me think of a new way (for 'grown-ups' at least) to understand the Trinity: instead of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, it's The Blood, The Word and Our Standing Agreement.Saying 'The Blood,' I mean the lifeti ...

"by any means, but a fun, enjoyable adventure nevertheless. Too much 20-century sensibility for the time period, and Kevin Costner couldn't pass for an Englishman if his life depended on it. He's too nice and bland to be a proper Robin Hood; Robin needs to have a bit of the devil in him. Costner tries but doesn't pull it off. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio isn't the best Maid Marian, either, and I don't care if you are the King's cousin, you still don't address King Richard by his first name or neglect to curtsey in his presence. BUT, putting such things aside, I quite enjoy this film. Alan Rickman is a delightful, wicked scene-stealer; Morgan Freeman brings elegance and good sense to the proceedings. It still makes me smile, too, when Richard the Lionheart does appear at the very end and you see who's playing him... "
