Tropic Thunder


Tropic Thunder is a movie filled with one liners and outrageous overacting. With an all-star cast, the film maintains a funny tone for it's entirety. It was also very amusing seeing Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise acting outside their "serious movie" spheres. If I had only sat though the first 10 minutes of the movie I would have been perfectly happy because of the hilarious PHONY TRAILERS that are shown at the beginning of the film. Jack Black's The Fatties: Fart 2 had to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

Valkyrie


Bryan Singer's Valkyrie was an exciting film that kept the audience rooting for Claus von Stauffenberg's (Cruise) attempt the whole time. Even a basic high school history class would spoil the ending as this failed assassination of Hitler proves futile. The story of the unsuccessful murder is as easily forgotten as Tom Cruise's career.

Also, Tom Cruise is a complete tool.
