The latest bomb...

...appears to be Tom Cruise's latest movie, "Valkyrie."
His performance gets pretty bad reviews.
But the reason I mention this is because the blasts taken at his performance will overshadow the story the film wishes to tell--which is too bad.
The story of Claus Von Stauffenberg is really an extraordinary one. He was a courageous man, a war hero, who took a huge risk in trying to topple Adolf Hitler and rescue Germany from the horrors of Nazism. He didn't succeed, but his heroism has lived on. Now that story will be completely ignored. Sad...

Attention, movie and history buffs

I'd heard nothing about this, but apparently Tom Cruise is starring in a movie about the German assassination attempt against Adolf Hitler, occurring in 1944. Cruise will play Claus von Stauffenberg, the leader of the plot.

Not only has he lost weight, but it will be interesting to hear his fake German accent!
