Last night, my fiancee and I were walking into a screening of Grown Ups when we were bombarded by what might be the largest advertising lobby cutout we’ve ever seen. It was for The Expendables, and it’s awe-inspiring with slightly-larger-than-life cardboard version of Stallone, Li, Statham, Rourke, Willis, Lundgren, and Austin. Seven big men all towering over and silently inviting us to come see them kick ass.

Kevin and Neil meet up again in the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about their lackluster thoughts on this week’s new movies… and boobs. They also contemplate why movies aren’t making as much money this summer and what are the best sandwiches they have ever had.

June Havens (Cameron Diaz) is trying to make it back home to Boston when she bumps into Roy Miller (Tom Cruise), a secret agent who has gone rogue with something very important to the federal government. As much as he tries to avoid her becoming a part of the game, she ends up either having to be glued to his side or taken out by some very bad men. The two will have to secure a young inventor (Paul Dano) and expose or kill the true rogue agent before it’s too late.

Whether you love him, hate him, love to hate him, or hate that you love him there’s no denying that Tom Cruise’s career decisions in terms of what directors he will work for have been second-to-none. Or, maybe they have been. You decide.

Spin-off movies are interesting territory. Most often, the concept behind a spin-off film involves a character who got very little, but meaningful screen time getting fleshed out into their own movie. This is where problems arise — sometimes there simply isn’t enough fleshing to be done. Such is the (possible) case with the character of Les Grossman, as played by Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder.

Science Fiction is, sadly, not always seen as high art. However, there are some brilliant acting talents who have dared to slum it in the world of science fiction. Here’s the 15 most notable ones.

This Les Grossman stuff never gets old. This time he — and by he, I mean Tom Cruise’s most hilarious character to date — is giving style tips to Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.

With the release of the nearly dismissible thriller comedy Killers (the one with Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl) coming up this Friday and Lionsgate not screening it for critics, bloggers or the like, we need something to talk about. So we’re talking a film with a very similar premise — James Mangold’s Knight and Day.

The character of Les Grossman may be the funniest thing that actor and known couch-jumper Tom Cruise has ever done. And now he’s back…

There’s a scene (video below) midway through the Doris Day-Rock Hudson romantic comedy Pillow Talk (1959) that has always fascinated me. Through the benefit of hindsight, it’s impossible to watch the scene as it was viewed contemporaneous to its release.

Two weeks ago, Brad Bird — best known for his work at Pixar with The Incredibles and Ratatouille — was reported to be in the running to make his live-action debut with Mission: Impossible IV. Today we come to find out that Bird wasn’t just on the studio’s director wish list — he might just be their guy.

This isn’t what I expected. I’m not a Tom Cruise hater, and in fact I generally like the man’s movies, but I was convinced Knight and Day was going to suck from the moment it was announced. Then I watched this new trailer.

For a while now, The Incredibles and Ratatouille director Brad Bird has been searching for a live-action project to follow three consecutive animated works of brilliance. As of today, it may be the case that Bird will be directing Tom Cruise in his live-action debut.

I have no idea why we should celebrate the 15th anniversary of the first Tom Cruise Mission Impossible with even more Tom Cruise Mission Impossible.

Mission: Impossible 4 is headed for the big screen, and Ethan Hunt is coming along, too. Deadline Hollywood is reporting this afternoon that Tom Cruise has signed a deal with Paramount Pictures to reprise his role in the fourth installment of the franchise. He will also co-produce with Mission: Impossible 3 director J.J. Abrams.

If you weren’t sure what to make of the oft-title shifting movie Knight and Day, a comedy (I think) about a sociopathic super spy played by Tom Cruise and some random woman that he’s picked up along his path of secret agent violence, played by Cameron Diaz, you’re really in for a treat with this first trailer.

Production on The Tourist is set to begin early next year. The players within that production seems to be changing daily.

Hollywood’s latest it man, Sam Worthington, gets another role despite the fact that he’s yet to impress us.

Few people thought it would happen (and even fewer want it to) but it looks like Paramount has officially greenlit a fourth Mission: Impossible film with Tom Cruise.

Hot of the hotness that was Star Trek, J.J. Abrams is out there talking about things he might do in the future. One option: producing (and maybe directing) a fourth Mission Impossible film.
