As much as I dislike reading about Tom Cruise's personal life, I really like the MISSION IMPOSSIBLE movies. Tom (my Tom) and I went to the most recent one (numero cinco) last Saturday night, and I thought it was the best of the series.Cruise looks terrific at sixty-one. No easy feat. Too much face work looks terrible, and at the same time we don't want him to look sixty-one either. He's allowed for a little aging around the eyes but there's no bagginess anywhere. And he must work out hours a day to have that musculature.
The script was smart, tense and humorous. And I liked the addition of Alec Baldwin as head of the CIA. Now that I think about it, I like most Tom Cruise movies. I just don't like Tom Cruise.
Remember when Robert Redford had his eyes done? Terrible! I think I noticed it in THE CLEARING, which I liked. They look more normal now. Gravity works its mysterious magic.
Ummm… according to Google he's only 53. However I think he looks more like 43.
ReplyDeleteI got my information from some guy googling him on his phone after the movie. You're right, he is 53. And still looking good.
DeleteI was surprised how much I enjoyed this movie too. I dodged this way and that in the chase scene and found myself laughing out loud many times. Have you seen Tom Cruise and Jimmy Fallon lip sync? (http://www.nbc.com/the-tonight-show/video/lip-sync-battle-with-tom-cruise/2885985)
ReplyDeleteI love MI as well. I like most Tom Cruise movies, but Jack Reacher was ridiculous. Even Tom Cruise couldn't save it from itself. My friend and I took great delight in mocking it in a nearly empty theater. I can't believe they are making another one.
