You Can’t Stop the Thunder
Who knew making fun of vain, narcissistic, and overly paid Hollywood actors was so profitable? Ben Stiller, that’s who. The actor-director’s comedy “Tropic Thunder” continued to reign supreme at the box office for the third straight week, knocking off would-be usurpers “Babylon A.D.”, “Traitor”, and “Disaster Movie”.

Tom Cruise has a cameo (well, it’s almost five minutes long, so I guess it’s more than a cameo) in the Ben Stiller comedy “Tropic Thunder”, playing the bald, overweight, and cold-blooded owner of a talent agency film studio that handles the career of Stiller’s action hero character.

It took Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. in black face to take down the Dark Knight, but by golly they did. The racially and politically incorrect comedy, about a bunch of idiot actors who find themselves caught in a real war but are too dense to realize it, “Tropic Thunder” opened with a $26 [...]

Seriously, if you aren’t laughing your ass off at everything in this international trailer for Ben Stiller’s “Tropic Thunder” (it’s sort of like the domestic one, plus a couple of new scenes, I think), then you’re a lost cause, because “Tropic Thunder” looks like it has the potential to be the funniest damn thing to [...]

I didn’t think Ben Stiller’s “Tropic Thunder” was all that funny when I first saw the first pictures of it, but I’ll be damn if it hasn’t, slowly but surely, grown on me. First of all, just the notion of Robert Downey Jr. playing an actor who “surgically enhances” his face to look like a [...]

“Mother Nature just pissed her pantsuit!” That’s one of the lines from the red band trailer for Ben Stiller’s comedy “Tropic Thunder”. You know, the movie where Robert Downey Jr., fresh from playing heroic comic book hero in “Iron Man”, covers himself in black paint to play a white man who puts on black paint [...]
