Valkyrie-ally bad movie

Don't get me wrong, I love my movies. Which is why we cannot get a redbox movie and watch it before Isla goes to bed, hopefully around 8pm. She's been a sickly little thing today - soo cranky. And so was her daddy. I think we are all ready for a day off to relax a bit. 

Back to Valkyrie. It reminded me a bit of the Gladiator storyline, in which a soldier/general dude is doing his duty for the Reich and gets damaged - especially mentally - in the beginning, then goes on a rampage to do "what's right", then dies before anything gets done about the turmoil his crew is in. Could've been a lot better. I'm a huge fan of thespians totally getting into their roles and being nearly unrecognizable. One thing I am NOT a fan of is the mixing of accents in historical true-story based films. There you had Tom Cruise with an American accent, the Adolf Hitler actor in a German-English dialect, then the rest of the actors were sporting British accents. Talk about a cluster. Tom Cruise wasn't "himself" in this film, not that I know him personally, but he is one actor that tends to act one way in films (Risky Business, Jerry Maguire, Top Gun, Cocktail, The Firm, etc. although he was excellent in The Last Samurai and Far & Away so I knoow he can pull of accents of some degree). 

I hope I can get a good night's rest and that Friday comes quickly...
