As if I hadn't already seen enough of Tom Cruise on the news, I agreed to accompany my boyfriend to see the new "War of the Worlds." I wasn't surprised that I was disappointed. I knew what I was getting myself into.
I wish I had seen the original. And my fella said that it was more scientific ala X-Files if you will. I wasn't expecting anything of the sort. It's Stephen Speilberg. He hasn't made a movie that didn't depend or special fx and emotional manipulation since....since....well, I can't recall. I just have two letters for you: A. I. 'Nuff said.
Tom Cruise portrayed a one-dimensional dead-beat dad trying to save his kids. Dakota Fanning was your typical smart-ass-knows-everything-so-you-gotta-think-she's-cute-8 year-old. There was an entire scene where she chose take-out from a health food store. What 8 year old eats hummus and pita bread on purpose? Of coarse, this was before the world went to the shit-can.
It just seems that the only movies out there right now are rehashes of old TV shows or old movies. I must admit, I want to see "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." And I'm dragging my fella there for payback. And we will be seeing it at the IMAX. I just hope it's not as much torture as the crap-ass alien flick I sat through today.

And, what about Mr. Cruise's comments on post-partum depression?
Wholly irresponsible...
Brooke Shields had an admirable response this past week in The New York Times.
Hey, loreeelynn!!! Good to see you here!
I wish that I could show you guys my Katie Holmes impression. It's pretty dead-on.
I think that Cruise's firing his PR person and hiring his sister gave him the liberity to actually BE HIMSELF. Scary that he may have always been this way.
I wanna know what makes celebrities think they are experts on everything. Entertain me and shut up, please. Hi yall, its mom.
Word to my mother.
Hey, Holmes is pretty zombie-like in Batman Begins as well.
I would love to see your Katie Holmes impression.
And, word 'em up, momma.
