Tom Cruise screens Valkyrie at his place in exchange for good reviews
MSNBC’s The Scoop reports that Tom Cruise was so afraid of the inevitable negative reviews of his bloated Nazi movie Valkyrie that he offered journalists a free screening at his mansion in exchange for some kind words. I wonder if they included a complimentary stress test with that. (You know I’m not going to be the only one to make that joke today.) It’s unclear if the screening actually happened or if it was just planned: “Distractingly bad,” and “unengaging Nazi escapade” are among some of the reviewers’ comments attached to “Valkyrie,” Tom Cruise’s film that opens Christmas day.Tom Cruise’s Valkyrie has some competition!
now turns out that the Tom Cruise starrer Valkyrie, about the World War II “general’s plot” to assassinate Adolf Hitler, may have competition from an award-winning German movie based on the same subject. Rights to the German film, Operation Valkyrie, directed by Jo Baier, have been acquired by The Weinstein Co., it was announced Tuesday. The film, originally titled Stauffenberg, the name of the Nazi colonel who led the assassination plot (played by Cruise in his film for United Artists), won The German Television Award for the best movie made for German television in 2004.11 Valkyrie Extras threaten to sue Tom Cruise’s United Artists for $11 million

Tom Cruise’s ego must be pretty wounded. Wait, scratch that. If Tom was a regular guy and had a regular ego that was capable of being wounded, it probably would be right now.Remember when..
it was inferred that Bradley Pitt was now a bigger star and vehicle at the BO than the one and only Tom Cruise? Well: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=inglouriousbasterds.htm Despite the favourable advertising campaign, QT helming it, and Bradley's 'superior BO muscle', it has performed less impressively than "Valkyrie" when 'Tom's waning BO performance', and 'his albatross around its neck' is factored in. I mean, the former star with his 'baggage', loss of fans, respect, and work - still at that - drags any film down, if 'he's lucky enough to get the work, of course, he does have to 'beg for it'.Isabella and Connor with Tom Cruise @ United Artists Pictures and MGM premiere of 'Valkyrie' on December 18, 2008
