Tom Cruise Movies

He has my utter respect, a guy who is 55 and does all of his stunts, boy oh boy!



Edge of Tomorrow is surprisingly a good movie, and the tech involved is one step closer to be available.

I've never really had the feeling that Tom Cruise movies had much of that "hidden agenda" thing going on. Except for maybe Eyes Wide Shut. Lately though his movies are kind of over the top machismo nonsense (Jack Reacher, Mission Impossible 18, etc)

Behind the scenes is a different story... word is... ANYBODY working on a Tom Cruise movie must go through a short seminar on a mobile Scientology bus that's parked on set. This IS second hand... but I trust the guy that told me. He was a hair stylist for all types of big budget Hollywood productions.

There is also some other unsavory information about him that I've heard from a couple of sources.

High end penthouse hotels + limos arriving at night with lots of "pretty boys" + cash envelopes to each of them the next morning = All very hush hush


All that being said, don't get me wrong... Top Gun and Days of Thunder are "my jams"

Whatever you think about Tom Cruise films his box office reputation is a sure win.

Not a big fan of Tom Cruise as a person because of the Scientology BS, but I do have a lot of respect for him as an actor and stuntman. Some of those stunts he's done are just incredible. I read somewhere he held his breath underwater for 6 minutes or something to prepare for filming a scene.

Top Gun is my favorite movie of his. Others include The Last Samauri, Days of Thunder, Collateral and Cocktail.
Not a fan of Vanilla Sky or Jack Reacher.

And The Outsiders is a great movie that he was in. I think it was his first film. He wasn't the star but that movie had lots of great actors who went on to become big stars, including him.

I agree that Tom Cruise does go further than many actors to make his action scenes awesome.

This is a good synopsis of TC's films (starts 39 minutes):

The Mummy News

Tom Cruise versus a terrifying supernatural threat? We'll take those odds and put our money firmly on The Cruiser. Still, it looks like he's in for no end of trouble in the new trailer for The Mummy.

With director Alex Kurtzman aiming to launch an entire connected monster movie universe, the pressure is on this first outing, so it's no wonder he reached for the big star gun (two, if you count Russell Crowe, who pops up as Dr. Jekyll, though given how much he has to explain, might as well be playing Basil Exposition).

Cruise here is Nick Morton, who, along with buddy Sgt. Vail (Jake Johnson), uses his military background to go hunting for relics. But their latest discovery will prove to be something quite different... And much more dangerous.

When the pair uncovers the tomb – or rather, prison – of Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella), a princess whose destiny was snatched from her, and whose burning drive for revenge has led her to seize some very worrying powers, they unleash something truly powerful. With the help of World Heritage's Jenny Halsey (Annabelle Wallis), Nick will have to stop Ahmanet wreaking havoc. And that's both helped and hampered by the fact that – as has been revealed in earlier trailers and spelled out here, but spoiler alert just in case – she's cursed him with some of her dark magic. Frankly, the ability to survive plane crashes and other lethal scrapes would probably come in handy for Cruise's stunt-happy movie life...

The Mummy will roar into UK cinemas on 9 June.
