Valkyrie Movie Review

"My Eye Is Totally Not There Brah."

So Tom Cruise has decided to put all of his production money & swagger into what seems to be Bryan Singer's biggest effort since X-men [we'll just pretend Superman Returns didn't happen]. What is most interesting in Valkyrie from the get-go would be the amazing cast. Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Terence Stamp all staples in British cinema deliver solid performances in this film. People who seem to be almost unrecognizable in their roles would be Eddie Izzard who plays Gen. Erich Fellgiebel and David Bamber who [no-offense] visually could be a carbon copy of the very real and dead Adolf Hitler [which reminds me, isn't Hollywood dying for a zombie Hitler trilogy series?]

Tropic Thunder is an Action movie.  If and when it comes out on DVD it should NOT be put in the comedy section.  I understand that there were jokes and laughs in this movie. Honestly upon watching this movie a second time, the humor aspect kind of faded on me.  The laughs were there, but the didn't stick with that kind of 'one-two punch' like they did a month ago when I watched a pre-screening.  What should be noted is how well the action looks [at times] throughout this movie.  The explosions the sounds the hundreds of thousands of bullets being effortlessly sprayed about.  The scenery is down right gorgeous. If there is any reason to be jealous of Blu-Ray player adopters it will be when this movie comes out on Blu-Ray in a couple months.
