A logline is a succinct, one sentence synopsis of a film. Tag lines are the cute lines used in advertising. Those are not loglines, those are tag lines.

The next Tom Cruise movie you watch, try watching it with the "can't act his way out of a paper bag" mindset. You'll notice it. It's a stunning revalation. This isn't some cognitive dissonance thing here, a LOT of people share my viewpoint. Take Top Gun (sure it's cheezy but I won't deny how enjoyable it is). After Goose dies and Maverick goes to the wake/funeral (whatever the fuck it is), look at how hard Tom Cruise tries to cry--and watch him fail miserably. "Crashed and burned." I mean hey, if you think he's a decent actor, that's fine. Nothing wrong with opinion. There is one thing I'm sure we can agree on, though: he's a wayyyy better actor than Keanu Reeves. Hey Steve,

Tom Cruise is no doubt a top 10 actor since the 80's (i object to the negativity in the 80's tv show episode). I've listed 22 of his top movies since Risky Business. I personally love 15 of 22, with 5 borderlines (using Gord's 1/2/3 baseball evaluation), only 2 movies I didn't care for... out of 22 since 1983. You can't knock the guy for Cocktail (personal fav), Days of Thunder (guys guy movie), A few good men, the firm, interview with a vampire, not to mention all 3 mission impossibles & war of the worlds. Top Gun may be regarded as one of the ultimate guys movies ever. Don't worry Tom, I got your back!
