Like many viewers around my age, I had grown up watching these movies, but watching them all together, back to back, I was surprised at how well they held up -- and how riveting Cruise was in them. (Even some of the roles that seemed like a joke at the time, like his turn as the Vampire Lestat in Interview with the Vampire (1994), assumed a strange kind of beauty and intelligence.) Here was an actor who had given his all, and then some, and had made sure, to the best of his ability, to tackle interesting, challenging work -- even when it seemed at first like he was phoning it in.This is a pretty fascinating place for critical (and, to look at the box office receiptsfrom the new MI film, which had the biggest single-day opening in the franchise, public) opinion on Tom Cruise to land, given the twists and turns his reputation has experienced in the past decade or so. But, from the comfort of the movie theater, it's hard to remember just how far back his career goes, so here is a timeline of changing public opinion on Tom Cruise.
Cruise, whose aquiline handsomeness grows sleeker each year, has become the most forcefully athletic of our action demigods. He has even learned to rib himself (there's a good running gag at the expense of his gleaming grin), and he acts with his body as much as his face; he holds the screen, from that pressure-drop opening on, with the lean eloquence of his physical alacrity.

Update 8/05: Kravitz has responded in the chillest way possible via this tweet. Plus, if anyone was going to be crazy jealous over this it would be Steven Tyler, right? All of the scarves-on-mike-stands and undulating in the the world could never come close to the ultimate rock-sex-god image that is a dick unfurling itself from too-tight leather pants.

it has long been my dream to play Jamie Lee Curtis's nemesis, likely due to the scene in Freaky Friday where she REMOVES HER DAUGHTER'S DOOR
