Just finished watching The Master. Liked the first half of the movie but the second half dragged. Great acting but that wasn't enough to make it a great movie, story was poor and left to many unanswered questions.

Everyone should be.
Happiness, Flawless, The Talented Mr Ripley, Owning Mahowny, Capote, Synechdoche New York, Doubt, Capote, The Master, Jack Goes Boating, Love Liza, ...
That's quite a lot of lead roles, if you ask me.
3 hours of pure brilliance.
It has become very difficult to separate Cruise the actor from Cruise the celebrity nutjob though. When I watch him these days, it doesn't feel that I'm watching a specific character in a certain story. It's just Tom Cruise playing (an exaggerated version of) himself...

Good to see some reason 
I have heard too many terrible actors said to be better then Cruise in last few years, just because they can't stand Cruise the crazed celebrity.

P. S Vinny, you forgot Collateral.

Pulp Fiction was on last night and I watched a bit of it... I think Travolta gets so much praise from this movie for two reasons.
#1. it was his comeback film of sorts. We hadn't heard much from John before Pulp Fiction. And he hasn't gone away since.
#2. He spends most of his time next to Sam Jackson. Watch the film again and you will notice that just about every memorable scene he is in, when he is not dancing, he is next to Sam Jackson, and Sam Jackson has all the energy and passion. John's just riding on his coattails. Vince and Jules make a great partnership, no doubt. But that's mainly because of Sam Jacksons charisma and fine acting skills and because John doesn't try to do too much when Jackson is on screen with him.
Now imagine if they flipped roles and Travolta plays Jules and Jackson plays Vinny Vega. It would have been a disaster.
