    DIGGER: Tom Cruise Leads With His Chin in this mashup of ASTEROID CITY & VANILLA SKY. He's great, and the film is great but, as they say, not for all audiences! While we're at it, more of you should've went to see AMERICAN MADE, too! New review: tremblesighwonder.com/2026/10/11/7...

    My fam watched American Made the other day & agreed it was pretty good, almost solely because Tom Cruise is compulsively watchable. We were discussing what younger actor has that kind of rizz, where they can pin you to any film, even a mediocre one. Gosling was the only candidate we could think of!

    Minor quibble here, in that Color of Money is a Scorsese movie Tom Cruise happens to be in. A better choice of Tom Cruise movie that highlights his scene chewing of the last few years might be Doug Liman’s American Made (an underrated one imo)

    The killed a drug lord. El Mencho. Drug lord is a very profitable endeavour. It will allow you to buy anything. Although there’s a lot of fiction in the film American Made, it’s like that. So things are unstable but looks like it’s calming a bit. But I suspect it’s the calm before the storm.
