Happy Birthday to Tom Cruise


Tom Cruise

Happy Birthday to Tom Cruise!  The outstanding actor turns 51 years old today.

Days of Thunder John C. Reilly

Days of Thunder was the first PG-13 movie that I remember seeing.  I was 4 years old and I remember my Mom and Dad bringing my siblings and I to the theatre to see that movie.  It is the first movie that I remember hearing cussing in.  It’s very strange to me because I remember watching that movie in the theatre like it was yesterday.  That was already 23 years ago.  I remember my parents trying to cover my ears after hearing “son of a…”
