...and the winner is!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5/10 (5 August 2004)

And the winner is... YOU! For having the class and smarts to watch this film. Anyone who's given ten percent of their income knows that Tom Cruise not only can act up a storm... he can act, too. I know that Tom Cruise is not Korean, but hell, what an accent! BLOWN AWAY on the blades of the samurai sword. The transvestite whore subplot was a bit meandering and unnecessary, but the cooch shot was shocking and daring and worth the price of admission. Ron Howard's finest work since COCOON. Loved it! One quick question: what was with TOm Cruise's wig and will there be a prequel? If he was the LAST samurai then I want to know who the SECOND TO LAST samurai was, just for depth purposes. I know it was Richard Chamberlain (also gay), but Shogun was on TV and anyone with any wisdom (gaydar) knows that TV just doesn't cut the mustard. Help me people! XO DAMION (gay)
