I've decided to review all of the movies of Tom Cruise that I've seen-- which I guess is actually only three: The Last Samurai, Valkyrie, and Minority Report.... And if I had to rank them, I guess that that would be the order that I would put them in, yeah-- just because I'm thinking of the guy. And.... Why could that be? (Seriously, though, this is nothing against Katie Holmes: I just like to keep myself amused.)
I think that I actually saw this movie with my brother in theatres, the day that it came out (!), even, which is *extremely* unusual for someone like me.... Even now. I mean, I *never* go see the, opening night, I guess you call it, right? Lol. (And I'm also not a big one for holidays.... Although going to stuff with my brother isn't so uncommon-- it's actually one of the only ways that I get out at all, to be honest, since my brother is a little bit more fiscally.... Well, it must have something to do with that he's a Taurus.)
Anyway, I suppose that I really liked this movie at the time-- although I kinda like it less now, that that I'm not as much of a WWII guy.... (My personal history is odd and difficult to explain, ha!).... But, yeah, at the time, I was enormously pleased with myself that there was this movie about this German dude-- whose name meant more to me than the name 'Tom Cruise'-- since I'd read about this whole deal in a book or something.... (Read: Wikipedia.) I guess I was also in this Germans-aren't-Nazis phase, I guess.... (But I know now that the better way to prove that is to read 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' or something.... Not about army officers.... *added to list of mistakes*....)
But anyway, given the choice again, I'd have picked something where the exposition about Nordic mythology-- which I'm actually quite into *now*, much more than before-- is given by someone other than Hitler.
And, you know, what was it that the guy said-- "We've got to make peace before the Allies are in *fucking Berlin*!" And some part of me was, like-- Oh.
But it was a decent movie. (But just like I just decided that 'The Last Samurai' was more of a '10' than a '9'-- I also think now that this is more of an '8' than a '9'....)
And maybe I even learned something....
