Tropic Thunder dir. Ben Stiller — 6.8
Surprisingly gory for a comedy. A number of pretty biting set pieces, all of them involving Robert Downey in blackface as a mix between Truck Turner and Shaft. Steve Coogan is sort of funny as the hapless director. L. Ron Cruise shows up in a self-depricating cameo in a continued attempt to resurrect his image after his bizarre career-killing year of Brooke Shields bashing scientology-couch jumping. Even so, he's really not very good, he's just wearing tons of fake hair.
