Hi, this is my movie reviews page. I will talk about Tom's movies here and what my opinion on it is and give a little summary about it as well.

Movie Reviews

Jerry Maguire

This photo shows that Tom is thinking of what to do on what his next move will be.

Jerry Maguire: I think that this is Tom's best movie so far. The reason why I think it is the best because I think it takes one man's life and gives him a new one. There is love, comedy and action in this movie and that is why I like it so much. I personally think that Tom should have received an Oscar for his performance.

Eyes Wide Shut
eyeswideshut.jpg
I don't like the nudity in this film, but I don't mind Tom's at all.

Eyes Wide Shut: First off lets get this out of the way... I don't like the nudity in this film. In my opinion I don't care for it. But there is a point to the nude scenes in some ways. It is about Dr. Bill who tries to make sense of his life. His now ex-wife (wife at the time) Nicole Kidman plays his wife. The movie is more about mind games and the human emotion in my opinion and the truth behind the lies. Need I say more?

All The Right Moves

Oh, my goodness! Tom looks so vulnerable here. He is a football star here.

All the Right Moves: Ok, I saw this movie quite a while ago, but I will try to summarize it best as I can. This is a teen angst movie and Tom is the teen in it. He is trying to get the best of himself in this movie. He plays football and is trying to get a scholarship for college. He wants to make his life better than his fathers'. Like in Top Gun he wants to be the best that he can be. He is also in love with a girl and he has to at some point decide what he is going to do: to be with the girl or college. There are some love scenes in there that in the 1980s was not even seen then and where at some point out of the question. But it seems like now it is not a big deal. I think those scenes where really sexy in it.

Days Of Thunder
dot.jpg
Tom can be a speed racer in this film.

Days Of Thunder: This movie is really a racing movie. If you like cars, women and speed you will probably like this movie. Yet again Tom is trying to prove himself in this movie (I think I am seeing a pattern here). He is a racecar driver on the verge of going over board including falling in love with his current ex-wife and wife then Nicole Kidman. He has to win the race before he gets lets say he gets speed bumped. Take it or leave it.

Far And Away
faa.jpg
Go Tom!

Far And Away: Tom is an Irishman in this film and so is his then wife (ex-wife now) Nicole. Tom is about to go on a journey that takes him beyond his dreams. In this film he tries to kill a man for killing his father but ends up meeting a girl and eventually sometime falls in love with her. He then hears about some land from this girl and tries to go after it so this land can be his very own. Without telling you too much of the story all I can say is that there are other adventures that await them in this journey of love, action and discovery.

Legend
legend.jpg
I think that Tom is a knight in shinning armor in this film.

Legend: What can I say about Legend? Well, I can say is that it is a mystical tale about two lovers who are separated by these evil goblins and Tom has to fight for his love. Sometimes the film was just too gruesome with the goblins makeup and attire. Tom is the hero in this film and has to rescue the damsel in distress. The basic fairy tale story, good and evil.

Mission Impossible 2
mi2.jpg
Tom is back and ready to kick some ass in M:I-2

Mission Impossible 2: Tom is back again to solve the case. He gets involved with the help of a woman who he also played with in IWTV (she had a small part as a maid). I just love his long hair in this movie because when he rides his bike it sways back and forth. There are a lot of kick ass moves, which are amazing. The rock-climbing scene is cool cause Tom would actually do this in real life because he is a risk taker and adventurer. He does a lot of his own stunts in movies as well. This is better than the first one and you can be sure of it.

Minority Report
minorityreport.jpg
MR is a science fiction thriller that will keep you on your toes every minute

Minority Report: It is the future and things are happening that we cannot believe. Crime is down to 0% and it is because of the law that knows the crime before it is committed. Someone has committed a crime and has planted Tom with it. He tries to prove that he is innocent and gets the real suspect. It is an action, mystery, science fiction, movie. The guns dont hurt you just knock you down on your ass, the eye scanners read you like a book and the power jet suits have you move like you wouldnt believe. There is no privacy and they can tell where you are, what you are thinking anywhere. Tom also has to deal with his problem of losing his son and wife. There is an emotional part to Tom in this movie and he should have been nominated for this role. Drugs just wont cut it, maybe take away the pain for a while but dont get to the heart of the matter, which is deep inside. Solve the crime and you will be saved, but he doesnt know that the suspect could be who he doesnt think it is.

Austin Powers: Goldmember
tomasaustin.jpg
Tom has a small part in Austin Powers

Austin Powers: Goldmember: Tom has a small part in this movie acting as Austin Powers in his movie. He is way funny playing him. I dont like the fact that he kisses that girl (I dont like her). His clothes and hair kept me laughing out loud.

The Firm
firm.jpg
Tom is a lawyer is this film

The Firm: Not a lot to tell you here since I havent seen this film finish to end. I think that Tom is a lawyer in this film and there is some dirty business deals going on or something like that. I remember falling asleep when I was young watching this movie but now I might be more interested to view this movie once again since I am now older.

Born On The Fourth Of July
bornonthefourthofjuly.jpg
Tom is a real life hero in this film

Born on the Fourth of July: Tom is in the military and he is crippled. It seems like Oscar nod from me but not from the academy.

Other Films

Endless Love, Losin It, Space Station 3D

I havent seen these Tom movies because they are too old and before my time, except the Space Station 3D one. I would love to see them though. If I see them at the video store I will rent and watch them and review them.

All I know about them is:

Endless Love
endlesslove.jpg
Tom has a small part in this film

Endless Love: It is the first part that Tom has done in a movie. He has a small part in it.

Losin' It
losinit.jpg
Losin' It is about teen angst

Losin It: Teen angst movie, maybe loosing his virginity, dont know. I heard it is about drinking or something?

Space Station 3D
spacestation3d.jpg
Tom is lending his voice as the narrator in this film

Space Station 3D: He is the narrator to a true tale (I think) of astronauts going into space. He doesnt show his face and is just using his voice for the film.

Favourite Tom Cruise Movies
 
These are my favourite Tom Cruise Movies (in no particular order)...
 
1) Jerry Maguire
2) Top Gun
3) All The Right Moves
4) Risky Business
5) Minority Report
6) Vanilla Sky

Top Gun
topgun.jpg
Tom is a top gun pilot

Top Gun: Funny and cocky this movie is good. It is about Maverick trying to be the best that he can be (excuse the military pun). He also finds romance along the way. He has to try and prove himself to be the Top Gun (as the title says it). I like this movie because there are cool tricks to it, plus the music is fantastic (may I suggest getting the soundtrack, it is good...).

Interview With The Vampire
lestat.jpg
Tom as Lestat de Lioncourt (vampire)

Interview With The Vampire: Three words for this movie: love, lust and blood, he, he... Yes, by the title you could tell it is about a vampire named Lestat de Lioncourt (Tom plays). Brad Pitt (Louis) also stars as well as others. The story is mainly about Louis and how he is telling his story about how he was made into a vampire by Lestat and how he grew to love a child (Claudia). That pretty sums in up.

The Outsiders
outsiders.jpg
Tom is tough in a gang in the Outsiders.

The Outsiders: In my opinion I think that Tom should have been given a bigger part. He only played a small part in this movie and that majorly sucks. He is the funny one in the movie. All he does is answer the telephone, fight and tag along with everyone else.

Cocktail
cocktail.jpg
Tom mixes it up in this film

Cocktail: Tom really mixes it up in this film. I like his moves in this film. I like the part when he mixes the drinks and does those cool moves with them like a juggling act. He also has to juggle his life in this film. He finds himself in love with this girl but then cheats on her and then tries to make up for it? Will she take him back? Who knows? I like the atmosphere/environment to this movie because it is tropical. The music isnt that half bad either. Would you like your drinks shaken or stirred?

Risky Business
risky.jpg
Yes, there are a lot of risks involved

Risky Business: Yes, there are a lot of risks involved in this movies, including: almost getting kicked out of a scholarship, illegal moves and more. This film I like because we get to see Toms dancing moves. The part is where Tom dances around in his underwear while dancing to the song Old Time Rock n Roll. He tries to raise the money for his dads car by having prostitutes do men for money. Tom gets into even more trouble. But he still falls for a prostitute and does her in a subway train and without no one there. This is a really famous scene (I think to the movie, plus the dancing). I think Tom got noticed for this role the most and started to get more movie deals out of it, plus the women started to notice him more as well.

Mission Impossible
missionimpossible.jpg
Tom is really on a wire in Mission

Mission Impossible: Mission Impossible is an action thriller on the tales of lies, deceit and deception. He has to break into a top-secret agency and steal some data on a disk. In this film involves the famous scene when he is attached to a cable and a drop of sweat is clinging to him and he tries for it not to detect the laser. The mask work is great. You can get fooled instantly. You really have to hold on to this movie or else you could get lost easily. Hold on for the ride of your life!

Magnolia
magnolia.jpg
Tom tries to develop a relationship with his father in this film

Magnolia: Is a film about many people with different lives and the story tells about them. Toms story is that he is a man who is going to loose his father and he tries to make peace with him. I think this is sort of like Toms life in real life. He doesnt have a good relationship with his father in the movie and in real life. The ending will leave you speechless and wondering why?

Vanilla Sky
vanillasky.jpg
Vanilla Sky makes you think

Vanilla Sky: What a love tale! Tom and Penelope (his now girlfriend) are in this romantic thriller. Tom is trying to find himself in this movie. It is a movie that makes you think about it once it is over and talk about it with people. There are great music hits to this movie (I suggest getting the soundtrack too). I love the scene where the whole of Times Square in New York is deserted. How can this be done? It is completely empty and Tom is running down it like a maniac. Is this a dream or is it real? Youre guess.

A Few Good Men
afewgoodmen.jpg
Tom tries to win the case

A Few Good Men: Tom is a military lawyer trying to win a case for some boys who where taking commands from their captain or sergeant, was it? This film is very serious, but can also be funny in some parts. I like Toms uniform in this film; hey I love a man in uniform.

Rain Man
rainman.jpg
Tom takes care of his brother in this film

Rain Man: Tom is a brother to this mentally challenged man and he has to take care of him. Tom goes to Las Vegas to win some money for something, forgot what. There are a lot of funny moments between the two brothers, but some are more serious than others are.

The Color Of Money
thecolorofmoney.jpg
Tom plays the hot shot pool player

The Color of Money: Tom is a hot shot pool player and I think that he is trying to cheat some guys out of their money. He has a love interest in this movie as well (surprise, surprise, Im being sarcastic here).

Taps
taps.jpg
Tom's first starring lead role

Taps: It is the first major movie he was cast in. He is in the military.

Midi music now playing is Salisbury Hill by Peter Gabriel from the movie Vanilla Sky.
