“Wow” …That was what I said about 20 times in the theater while watching Tropic Thunder, and the “wow”s were for many different reasons- but all shocking. First, Robert Downey Jr. gives an amazingly hilarious performance as Kirk Lazarus, an Australian born actor turned black actor through a medical procedure, and they really push the envelope with his jokes. Also, as much as I wanted to hate it, Tom Cruise gave the performance of a lifetime. It might be his best role ever, and exactly what his career needed right now. And the film is really funny in a lot of parts. Ben Stiller does an amazing job directing the film, but as expected it’s kind of cheezy and you have to want to laugh or you might think it gets a little too silly. But if you love Ben Stiller flicks then you will love this one. Any other reviews out there?

Movie Review : Tropic Thunder
Monday, August 18th, 2008X-Mas Eve and 74 Degrees in Los Angeles
Monday, December 24th, 2007Its Christmas Eve in LA and its 74 degrees outside right now. I’m not making this statement to brag, but just to further declare our seasons on Earth are shifting- or maybe LA is so full of evil people its just hotter here? Are we sure its the City of Angels?haha LA is a strange place during the Holiday seasons because all of the “out-of-towners” return to their families elsewhere in America, and there’s NO TRAFFIC! weird. If only it were like this all year long! I hope everyone out there reading this enjoys the Holiday Break, and below are a few pics of how LA looks today. Enjoy!
If you look really close you can see the Hollywood sign in the far right pic. This is the back side of the Hollywood Hills which faces toward Universal City.
