Tom Cruise’s “Lion for Lambs” Q&A

Fri, 19 October 2007 at 1:45 am

Tom Cruise attends an advance screening of his upcoming wartime suspense tale Lions For Lambs on Thursday held at the Pelham Picture House in the Westchester County of New York. He also stayed for a Q&A session with movie critics and regular movie theater-goers.

The Robert Redford-directed film is based on a platoon of soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, a senator, a reporter, and a college professor. This is the first United Artists film produced by Tom and producing partner Paula Wagner, since Tom, 45, fell out with Paramount Pictures. Release date: November 9, 2007.

Plot ganked from Wiki because it’s interesting: “Two determined students at a West Coast University, Arian (Derek Luke) and Ernest (Michael Pena), follow the inspiration of their idealistic professor, Dr. Stephen Malley (Robert Redford), and attempt to do something important with their lives. But when the two make the bold decision to join the battle in Afghanistan, Malley is both moved and distraught. Now, as Arian and Ernest fight for survival in the field, they become the string that binds together two disparate stories on opposite sides of America. In California, an anguished Dr. Malley attempts to reach Todd (Andrew Garfield), a privileged but disaffected student who is the very opposite of Arian and Ernest. Meanwhile, in Washington D.C. the charismatic Presidential hopeful, Senator Jasper Irving (Tom Cruise), is about to give a bombshell story to TV journalist Janine Roth (Meryl Streep) that may affect Arian and Ernest’s fates. As arguments, memories and bullets fly, the three stories are woven ever more tightly together, revealing how each of these Americans has a profound impact.

He just always looks so full of himself. I refuse to see another overrated film of his. I still want my money back from that first awful Mission Impossible movie that made no sense at all.

LMAO — #2, thats a perfect description.

Tom is an idiot. After he started acting crazy, judgmental and over the top, I cannot stand him.

I agree Natalie. But don’t you feel a little sorry for him? I kinda do. He is just a sad, sad, man… But I will never go see any movie of his. That would be just like openly supporting Scientology.

He looks so padded…I would not be surprised to find out he had a full suit of armour under his clothes. He is so whacked…not one cent of my $ will go in that little man’s pockets. Hate him, and his stepford wife.

Looking hot and young,Tom.

#8 — I agree, I would never support a movie of his. He will not be getting any of my money. He is a sad pathetic little man but I don’t feel sorry for him. Some of his behaviors and comments have been incredibly tasteless and uncalled for, and if people hate him for it well then he brought it on himself.

I can see the left wingers,media and the Academy people getting behind this movie because it is out to demonize Bush,the war in Iraq and Afghanistan including our men and women in uniform. Its so stupid and depressing to see Americans support the films by Oliver Stone,Michael Moore or buy the music of the Dixie Chicks. Shame really.

I’m neutral about Tom Cruise, I don’t think it’s right to slam his reliegion but when Tom put his feet in his mouth…then

But my one problem with Tom is how he wears his pants and those vest….fugly. What happen, he use to be hot and wear hot clothes…he needs to get the relaxed fit and stop wearing those tight clolthes.

Long as Tom can entertain me, I don’t care about his love life…Kate is an adult and she picked him and had his baby…it’s her choice and nobody else.

Hes a good actor, but, Scientology has made him go cucu.

Ida @ 10/19/2007 at 3:38 am

Met so many celebrities in my life and Tom is so handsome in person and one cool guy as in bighearted and genuine. My personal ranking only boils down to three because the rest are forgettable:
1.Bob Hope
2.Tom Cruise
3.Denzel Washington
4.Rob Lowe

haven’t met Katie yet. Kidman is alright.Kinda cold.
My favorite would have to be Sandra Bullock and Reba. Only a few actresses got beautiful *souls*.

# 25

Ida @ 10/19/2007 at 3:40 am

cant help but put Rob Lowe in no.4 The best cast ever would be ER,Frasier and Friends.(Friends onscreen and offscreen) The worst ensemble with fake personnas and such rivalries would be Grey’s Anatomy.

It feels like Tom has been gone for a long time in the movies. Glad to see him do a movie. One talented actor.

Im sure this film rocks but the glut of war and terror films will be a disinterest to the public. Even many TV war shows were axed i.e. E-Ring and Frontlines on NBC and ABC. That war show on FX. The Unit and Army Wives are hits only because it really does not deal so much realistically with war but are soapy shows. The last war film that got big bucks was Saving Private Ryan but that was before 9/11. Ofcourse it was a good film but my reaction was like the stunned WTF reaction by Harrison Ford who thought he was awarding the trophy to his Indiana Jones director Spielberg but end up giving it to the awful Paltrow with the stinker film Shakespeare in Love.
