Tropic Thunder: Tom Cruise
Do yourself a favor and go see Tropic Thunder. If not for Ben Stiller, do it for Tom Cruise. Cruise's out of character performance is amazing and show stealing. If you never liked Cruise, it will be hard not to after you watch this movie.
The cameo filled Tropic Thunder has a very good chance to be the best comedy of the year!

Protesters Picket Tropic Thunder Premiere
Ben Stiller's latest movie, Tropic Thunder, has brought out U.S. disability advocates to protest there use of the word "retard" in this years summer blockbuster comedy.
The film, which also stars Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. playing a white man who has undergone surgery to play a black man for a film role, has been slammed by 22 disability groups in the U.S.
Demonstrators showed their distaste for the movie by picketing the Mann Village Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday night insisting the film "humiliates people with intellectual disabilities".
Stiller, Black and Downey Jr. walked the red carpet amid shouts from angry protesters who were waving placards urging cinema goers to boycott the movie.
Despite the negative reactions to the picture, studio bosses have denied it is offensive towards people who suffer from mental disabilities.
But Downey Jr. took time out on the red carpet to defend the film, telling reporters he was glad people had decided to picket the premiere as it was their right as free citizens.
He says "That's the great thing, you know, if I want to protest something because it offends me that's my right as an American and it's also any artist's right to say and do whatever they want to do."
Well said Downey...well said.
I will be at the theater Friday night. And I can't wait!!!!
