The second trailer for Rock of Ages is out and I want to see that movie even less when it comes out on June 15th; and I never wanted to see it at all in the first place. It just looks like it is so over the top that it will be a huge unenjoyable mess. I didn’t think you could make ’80s hair bands even more cheesy than they already are, but Adam Shankman’s take on their music makes them so cheesy even cheeseheads wish they were lactose intolerant.
Now on to the cast, doesn’t Russell Brand look like Joan Jett with a beard, and I am not sure who should be more offended by that? I wonder if it is because of Julianne Hough’s two box office duds that that is why her face time in the second trailer was dramatically cut down? Chances are her third film won’t do any better than Footloose and Burlesque did. And when it comes to Tom Cruise, I don’t want to talk about it because I am trying to block it out from my memory.

Katie Holmes was walking around in NYC when a gust of wind blew her hair over face. Instead of looking like that cute Joey we knew on Dawson’s Creek, she looked more like the third bearded member of ZZ Top. I wonder which her husband Tom Cruise prefers?
It sometimes seems like Tom Cruise can do anything, but yesterday on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon we learned there is something he can’t do. The NBC host challenged him to a Wreath Tossing Contest and it proved to be a Mission Impossible for Katie Holmes’ first husband. The actor who does his own stunts, can’t even get one wreath down a pole, (obligatory joke here) and you think he would be good getting something down a pole…

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were celebrating her 33rd (can you believe she is only 33?) birthday yesterday and she made a mission impossible and walked ahead of her husband. I am assuming he didn’t like that since it looks like he grabbed her arm to get her closer to him. I don’t know why he has to have such a tight grip on her still because I don’t think she will be leaving him anytime soon. I think they are in it for the long haul at this rate.
What did ’80s rockers do to have their music destroyed in the movie version Rock Ages directed by So You Think You Can Dance’s Adam Shankman. The biggest problem I have with the trailer is not the music, but the casting, Tom Cruise is so not hair metal rocker. With all the actors who are also musicians like Kevin Bacon and Russell Crowe and the musicians who are actors like Jon Bon Jovi, could they not get one of them for the role of Stacee Jaxx? They have the sexiness and attitude that is needed to be the lead singer of hair metal band. The other huge miscasting was Alec Baldwin, who for some reason is acting like he wasn’t even around during the late ’80s. Actually except for Russell Brand, the whole cast was miscast with a director who needs to go back to judging a reality show I stopped watching in part because of him.
So I guess you have already guessed it, I will not be going to see this movie because More Than Words can say I stopped believing in it.
