QUICK COMMENT ON ROCK OF AGES

Saw "Rock of Ages" tonight-- loved the music (makes me want to say "duuuuuude!" and headbang!), and the offbeat, tongue in cheek humor, but Tom Cruise was seriously miscast! As a Scientologist, I doubt he has ever spent any time with any real alcohol/drug abusing rocker dudes and has no idea how to act like one. His acting was just terrible. Not sexy at all for a supposed hot rock star. His performance just made me cringe. On the other hand, Russell Brand, Alec Baldwin & Catherine Zeta Jones were wonderfully funny and made the movie work. At the end I think I saw Sebastian Bach as an extra outside the Rainbow, duuuude, he should have played Tom Cruise's role!
