Tom Cruise Day '13

   Tom Cruise day again! R0x0rs! This year's Tom Cruise Day comes with a movie recommendation, which I was really going to do the first time but got held up by the news of Jack Reacher. (How was that, by the way? Any good? Are they planning any sequels yet?)

   Knight and Day. It's a rom com, really, at its heart. Except the comedy here comes from playing with some of the more absurd tropes of the spy thriller genre, instead of wherever the heck the comedy is supposed to come from in normal rom-coms. The humor is really mature (no, not that kind of mature.) I mean, mature, like, it's... like a good cheese, or something. Tom is really free to crazy it up, which is one of the things that he does best. Some terrific action. Which would make it a great date film or something. Something in it for everyone.


   And I found the entire thing with way-off, Urdu-dubbed audio on YouTube! Oh, internet. Is there anything you can't do?
