At the premiere of her new movie, My Sister’s Keeper, actress Cameron Diaz talked to Usmagazine.com about working with Tom Cruise again.  The pair have signed on for the upcoming film, Wichita, which is about “an undercover agent who meets a woman who’s had nothing but bad luck with men.”
“Well, if I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t be doing it,” she said. “I’m very, very excited about doing it. It’s an action film, so I’m really excited to work him.”
If you remember, Cruise and Diaz worked together (along with Penelope Cruz) on the film Vanilla Sky.  I can’t even explain …read more

Tom Cruise could be bringing agent Ethan Hunt back to the big screen. According to Variety, the star has been talking with J.J. Abrams about co-producing a Mission: Impossible sequel which could be released in 2011. The project is taking shape at Paramount Pictures where some other great sequels are already in planning (Star Trek 2 and a third Transformers, for example).
I’m sure this development is surprising to many considering how nasty things got between Viacom chief, Sumner Redstone, and Cruise which led to a sudden deterioration of their 14-year relationship.  I was really appalled by it at …read more

Tom Cruise is controversial enough on his own these days but his portrayal of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg definitely ruffled some feathers.  Based on a true story, Valkyrie follows Stauffenberg as he, along with a secret organization, attempts to assassinate Adolf Hitler (the final attempt on his life) and regain control over Germany during World War II.

The plot is complicated to explain but relatively easy to follow as you watch the movie and it’s incredibly interesting, especially if you like historical films.  It’s filled with suspense (I was literally on the verge of yelling from frustration a couple times) and …read more

Variety is reporting that Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz are in talks to star in the “untitled romantic comedy formerly known as Wichita and Trouble Man at 20th Century Fox.”  So far, the film is set in terms of production and writing but it still needs a little work and, of course, star power.Originally, Chris Tucker and Eva Mendes were tied to the project but, for whatever reason, things didn’t work out.
The storyline sounds perfect for Diaz and Cruise – it “revolves around a woman who has terrible luck with men (isn’t that Diaz’s signature role?) but finds her path …read more

Flair bartending is the epitome of bartending.
Make a great drink and look damn good doing it.
It’s been showcased in the Tom Cruise classic [and generally campy] movie, Cocktail and if you’re lucky enough to find a bartender who can flip the glasses and bottles like a pro, then you’re in for a heck of a show.
Case in point:

Is this for real?
They’ve got to know it would be leaked on the Internet.
Hopefully they’re just using it as a funny motivational tool. Looks a little too clean and well produced to completely be a spoof.
Hopefully they’re just not taking themselves too seriously and intended it for what it is. A funny video. I mean it’s not like they’ve got Tom Cruise laughing in a Scientology video or jumping up and down on a couch.
From: Gizmodo who’s taking it a little too seriously.

 
Okay, I must be really out of touch or this stuff just isn’t hitting my radar screen as something that’s going to immediately impact my life. Have you heard of Microsoft’s PlayTable?
As usual Mary Jo Foley gets me the scoop on this bit of information.
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates also provided a PlayTable-related technology demo during his Consumer Electronics Show (CES) keynote address in 2006, when he placed a cell phone containing digital photos on a tabletop device and all the pictures “flew out of it” and could be manipulated by touch and gestures. Microsoft has shown similar surface-computing-type demos at …read more

Can you believe it? Google is now capitalized and valued at more than half the value of Microsoft. On the one hand I can believe that the potential for Google to continue making serious cash is huge. If you ever doubt it, just think about what Google really makes money from, advertising. Okay, got that image in your head? Now think back to the movie “Minority Report” with Tom Cruise, remember all the advertising? It was everywhere. That folks is what the future of Google could end up becoming.
Right now Google’s just got internet advertising and starting to expand into …read more
