I'm being a tad overly dramatic because it's a slow Saturday. I should watch Collateral again, honestly. I didn't care for it but I'm sure I missed some of the nuance. And Cruise honestly didn't bother me, from what I remember. You may very well be right and I'll eat a ton of crow once I watch it again.
My previous list was off the top of my head. I reserve the right to change my mind. But I really do remember thinking that the performance was flat and then OVER THE TOP and then flat and then OVER THE TOP and the WIG!
I should see it again. I just hate Michael Mann so much.

I like Russel Crowe in most everything. I think he's a great actor.

Oh Michael Mann is the best. An american treasure.
And Cruise is a star..if you see the names he worked with, is astonishing. Amazing career.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying Minority Report, guys. I wish I had. I envy y'all.

I think one thing we can all agree on is Top Gun has not aged well.
