The Weekly Dose of Ridiculous is extra ridiculous this week with creepy Tom Cruise, the agonizing search for actresses with real boobs, ill-advised sequels, and that reliable pot-stirrer Chevy Chase.
Tom Cruise is going from one of the best secret agents in the world to an eighties rock icon in his brand new film 'Rock of Ages.' Do you want to see more of him? Because W Magazine is showing a lot more of the actor in their latest issue. Guys, you may not like what you see...
Have you had enough ridiculous in your week? What if we told you that Tom Cruise is starring in a 'Van Helsing' reboot and fans are pushing for Donald Glover to star in Michael Bay's 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' movie? All this and Will Smith on a gyro-cycle in this week's dose of ridiculous!
In this installment of Sibling Revivalry, Lindsay and I tackle reader Alex’s suggestion – the beloved 1986 Tony Scott classic ‘Top Gun.’
Lindsay was far less trepidatious about this one. Probably because it stars a hunky cast, most notably: young and spritely versions of Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer and Anthony Edwards.
Turns out, she didn’t just see past the film’s “cheesy” exterior, hunky pilots and Iceman’s “Jersey Shore blowout” to enjoy some of its underlying themes, she also dropped some major knowledge on me regarding the way films affected her adolescence. Without further ado, here’s our conversation after my little sister’s first viewing of ‘Top Gun’…26 years after its release.
Do Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci - writers of 'Star Trek,' 'Transformers' and 'Cowboys & Aliens' - ever sleep? Because it's amazing to see how many projects these two end up doing within the span of a year. They continue to pack on even more pictures to their already overflowing pile with the help of Universal Pictures.
Let's be honest: 'Rock of Ages' doesn't look so hot. At least not based on the film's trailer. But if you've ever had a jones to hear Tom Cruise sing Def Leppard or Russell Brand sing REO Speedwagon, then you're in luck. The details for the 'Rock of Ages' soundtrack have been released that show us exxactly what we'll be listening to and who'll be singing it, when the film hits theaters.
In his new movie, 'The Lucky One,' Zac Efron's decidedly adult role put him one step further away from the tween-friendly 'High School Musical' franchise that made him famous. So what types of roles is he hoping to play in the future?
Emily Blunt, who'll be seen alongside Jason Segel later this month in 'The Five-Year Engagement', is apparently in talks with Warner Bros. Pictures to sign up for a role opposite Tom Cruise in the big-screen adaptation of the novel 'All You Need is Kill.'
Journey, Joan Jett, Poison, and Bon Jovi. What do these artists have in common? They're now music that middle-aged people grew up with. They're also featured in the trailer for 'Rock of Ages' the Adam Shankman-directed musical starring Malin Ackerman, Alec Baldwin, Mary J. Blige, Diego Boneta, Russell Brand, Bryan Cranston, Paul Giamatti, Julianne Hough, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and one Mr. Tom Cruise.
