Tropic Thunder




i watched this movie the night i completed my Building Construction examinations 2 days ago..i completely loved it :) it was soo super funny, and Tom Cruise's persona in this movie just blew me away..he is really that damn good an actor..at one point i really considered him to be so full of himself and just an old washed out actor living in the shadow of his younger days, but i honestly take it all back..it was a dumb ass role, but to think that he could pull it off that well was amazing..

i also thought that jack black deserved a better role in the movie though..his was just too stupid..jack has more talent than that..it was somehow one of those roles that any idiot could have easily pulled off..they made use of jack's physical character as a joke too much that i really disagree with the idea..but oh well, slapstick comedy right?..

the on-screen tension between robert downey junior and ben stiller was also really good..i somehow imagined it to be that way a little in real life too, on set..hehe..i dont know why..they were both really good at portraying their roles..and last but not least, the addition of "alpa chino" and the nerdish character that i just can't seem to remember his name, was just icing on the cake lah..



a good stupid joke movie lah this one :)

ps : i really recommend checking out the closing montage for the movie..i like it so much i am so downloading it when i get the chance..it was really well done and plus, with tom cruise dancing like an idiot, i think it's just really entertaining..
