I like that boobies aspect of anything. If I have to see some stupid movie with my wife they should be required to show some boobs. Also Why are they not marketing that Kate Winslet movie based on that fact that she shows her boobies. I mean a lot more men would be willing to go if they knew that she got neked.

Tom Cruise-bad choice, I guess they used him to get people to the theaters
I don't think it would have been made without Cruise. If I am correct, he started United Artists back up after losing his contract and this is their second effort. I think Lions for Lambs was their first, and was also a virtual suckfest.

I thought it was a very good movie. One thing I noticed is how our school text books really made all of Germany look like they in agreement with Hitler. Watching this movie I didn't realize how many attempts were made by Germany to get rid of Hitler.

I was reading about Cruise's breakup with Paramount. Apparently this is how the confrontation went down with Paramount CEO Brad Grey.
According to Radar, when Grey was walking to his car one night after tense negotiations with Cruise over Mission: Impossible 3, he was "surrounded by more than a dozen Scientologists, who pressured him to ease up on the actor … Following a tense exchange, the visitors allowed Grey to get into his car and leave, but the message was clear." Grey reportedly stood his ground and convinced Cruise to accept a lower fee than the actor had initially demanded.
LOL

I dont proclaim to be an expert on the plot but I think they tried to stay pretty true to the original events. I saw a History Channel account of it a while back and the movie followed it pretty well. There didn't seem to be too many parts of the movie that were in there just for dramatic effect (there were a few of course). Cruise was certianlly the weak point of the movie. Too bad they couldn't have casted someone better but oh well.

Right on, took the words right out of my mouth after also having watched the History Channel piece. If anything, it was much better than I thought it would be.
