‘Mission: Impossible 5′ Will Move Forward Starring Tom Cruise
Though Tom Cruise may have gone through a rough patch in his career, that's now completely over as he's being brought back to star in 'Mission: Impossible 5' for Paramount. This has been rumored for a while, but it was confirmed today.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Oblivion’ Obliterates the Competition
Tom Cruise and science fiction are a powerful combination. Although the opening weekend of 'Oblivion' didn't break any records big or small, it's a more than solid start for a non-franchise, non-sequel, non-reboot. That's a sad statement on the current state of Hollywood, but that's another topic for another day.
New Movies on DVD and Opening in Theaters This Week
‘Oblivion’ Review
'Oblivion' is best described as opportunity, squandered. Its landscape – conceptual and physical – feels remarkably unique and bursting with possibilities, but the exploration of both lacks originality, and energy. Joe Kosinski’s follow-up to 'TRON: Legacy' is, like its predecessor, a gorgeously mounted, inventive world-building endeavor, but it’s also equally bloodless -- ponderous without being thoughtful, ambitious without being inspired, much less inspiring. The chronicle of a battle for the fate of humankind that possesses little humanity of its own, 'Oblivion' is an overstuffed compendium of familiar genre tropes rendered with ornamental beauty but not much emotional depth.
Tom Cruise Going Sci-Fi Again with ‘Yukikaze’

Tom Cruise Was Pretty Much the Only Person Who Didn’t See His Split From Katie Holmes Coming
Someone finally asked Tom Cruise about his relatively sudden divorce from Katie Holmes, and he was, to quote Blanche Devereaux, "stunned -- just stunned."
That makes one of us. Out of the entire planet. And maybe those alien planets he believes in.
Tom Cruise Is Still Trying to Convince Us He Actually Likes Girls
After divorcing Katie Holmes earlier this year, seems Tom Cruise and the forces of Xenu are already interviewing replacements.
First up: a 26-year-old restaurant manager. With whom he's already desperately in love, of course.
David Letterman Purposefully Drops the F-Bomb on Tom Cruise [VIDEO]
Tom Cruise went on the 'Late Show With David Letterman' on Monday night expecting to promote his film 'Jack Reacher,' but instead ending up discussing the birds and the bees with Dave -- who dropped the F-bomb on the shocked actor.
Tom Cruise May or May Not Treat His House Like a Military Compound
Tom Cruise better be able to bounce a quarter off the sheets after his staff makes his bed or there will be hell to pay. And don't even make him remind you that dinner is at 17:00 sharp.
This is according to Radar Online, which is claiming that Cruise is a crazed dictator who runs his home like a boot camp. Considering the source, it's a doubtful story.
But considering the subject, maybe not. All hail the little General!
