Robo-Poster #1 - Valkyrie Final Trailer

You know what, despite Tom Cruise's public life, the ridiculous Scientology thing, and him being just a total nut, it still doesn't mean that he's not a good actor. "Valkyrie" is director Bryan Singer's latest, and this just looks good. I was a little on the fence on this one until this last trailer hit the web. I does make me wonder what Singer's fascination with Nazi's is? I mean, "Apt Pupil", the opening scene of "X-Men" with Magneto in a concentration camp. Now this. Whatever though. He makes good movies. This one comes out this December. I'd say check it out, but then again, I'm just the robo-poster. What do I know.

Brad Renfro, 1982 - 2008

I just read Brad Renfro passed away within the past couple of days. I don't remember liking much of what he did as an actor, but I do remember the movie "Apt Pupil" being extremely good. TMZ.com has more info about this:

The 25-year-old actor was found dead at his Los Angeles home this morning. The cause of death has not been determined, however, Renfro had a history of drug abuse.

Sources tell us Renfro, who had starring roles in "The Client" and "Apt Pupil" had been working valiantly to stay clean, especially since this summer. Renfro had been convicted of several drug offenses, including attempted heroin possession.

Renfro had been filming a movie with Winona Ryder and Billy Bob Thornton. The movie, "The Informers," just wrapped.

Renfro has had a rough time personally since moving from Tennessee to Los Angeles. His parents split, and we're told he did not have real guidance from adults as he tried navigating the treacherous movie industry.

I don't do much posts about people dying, because . . . it's not something that I find funny, so, I'm not making any jokes here. Check out his filmography here at his IMDB page. I really hope the makers of "The Informers" keep it classy and don't include this in their marketing for the movie. 'Cause that, would be teh suck.
