Tom Cruise: Unfairly treated by the media or not? Reviews

Newest Review: ... time' and roll it into the classroom on a special wheely stand....anyway, I digress. We had to write a review of "The Outsiders" for our English assignment, it starred every single one of the 1980's 'Brat Pack' including Mr Cruise, all with original teeth - not a pretty sight. A quick google reveals that this was back in 1983, and my point is this: up until the enormity of Top Gun in 1986, Tom was just your average normal acting type, making films where he danced around in his underpants and wore those red sport jacket things with the white sleeves, you know the ones I mean. The more mega-famous a person becomes, the more ... more

Well, I wouldn't have thought of using this subject for a review, but I've just come across the other 5 reviews and it got me started..... Maybe I do have more opinions on Thomas Cruise Mapother IV than I ever thought I did. Did you see that, I know his full name, why do I know his full name? That's crazy, because he's not even my favourite actor and I don't even fancy him, and yet I know these trivial facts about him: Because he's been in the public eye for just about as long as I can remember, and is such a great manipulator of the media that I have absorbed these facts without even trying, which is what every celebrity wants from their punters. So don't ... Read the complete review

Tom Cruise, one of the 1980's hot, young actors, he wasn't a one hit wonder, he had (in the 80's) several films of all different names, essentially the same, guy is doing something dangerous (Days of Thunder/Top Gun) meets girl falls in love, someone dies etc. But these films are close to our hearts as we remember Tom Cruise - Before he went mental. Now flying around the media is a hell of a lot of libellous stuff (which I won't repeat for fear of getting sued). It includes controversy about his sexuality, the truth behind TomKat, Nicole etc. I have been a fan of Tom Cruise, since I could identify hot men. He's my 'type'-(I have discovered along ...

There is something weird about Tom Cruise. I can't quite put my finger on it but there is something not quite right about the man. In interviews, he never seems natural. It is as if someone has asked him to play the part of 'Tom Cruise: the film star' in some kind of Truman show type ongoing movie. The next time you see him on TV, look at his eyes; they are a mix of complete soullessness and religious zeal which is quite creepy. Saying that, I don't think he is as sinister as he is presented as being by the media. There is definitely something calculated about his life and it seems like a very well organised publicity generating machine. But I don't think he ... Read the complete review

When 44 year old A-list Hollywood movie star Tom Cruise got together with 27 year old ex-Dawson’s Creek star Katie Holmes, there was, not surprisingly, a lot of press attention. I’ve followed the story of Tom and Katie, who have been nicknamed TomKat by the press, with both interest and despair, and this review gives my opinions on the relationship, the religion, the baby, and the media reaction to it all. ~The Age Gap~ Firstly there was the issue of the 17 year age gap. Now it’s not particularly unusual to have an age-gap relationship (I have one myself –7 years), and especially in the land of celeb it’s not really too frowned upon – just look at ...

I love a good media story especially when it involves ‘A’ list celebrities. I am the kind of person who is so jealous of these people and I love to see interesting stories and ones that show them to be absolutely mad are even better. Imagine my absolute pleasure then when we found out that Tom Cruise was dating Katie Holmes and this was the hottest bit of celebrity gossip we had seen for ages. I mean how this man in his forties dare date a girl in her twenties? Now I personally do not have a problem with it but the media had a filed day and put so much press out suggesting that he was way too old to date her and also speculation that the pair had been holed up for ...
