Where's Tom Cruise?

Cruise's lead performance is strong, the movie's undisputed star is Steven Spielberg.
NEW YORK — Here's a future Trivial Pursuit answer: Tom Cruise's face does not appear anywhere on the posters for "War of the Worlds," making this the first time the advertising materials for a movie starring the actor do not take advantage of his marketable mug.
This was not, as one might initially assume, an attempt by the filmmakers to distance the movie from the ongoing media circus surrounding Cruise's "I'm-in-love!" antics. The poster for "War of the Worlds,"
Part of the reason Spielberg is the most famous living filmmaker is his everyman affinity for wonder and fantasy — he has the ability, like Walt Disney or George Lucas, to make the fantastical accessible and enthralling to everyone. Before he "grew up" and made dramas like "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan," Spielberg was often derided by critics as the cinema's reigning Peter Pan, a gifted filmmaker who could only make movies about his boyhood obsessions instead of grown-up concerns.
which opened around the globe on June 29, was designed months ago and consists of a single image that cuts across all languages and cultures: a veiny, three-fingered, decidedly alien hand clutching a burning planet Earth.
It is a classic, elegant image that evokes pulpy, `50s-era science fiction and hints at a special effects thrill ride, a la "Independence Day."

Munchkin survivor marks 86th birthday
ST.LOUIS - It's been 66 years since Mickey Carroll's only movie role, but he's still celebrated for it.
Carroll is one of a few surviving Munchkins from MGM's 1939 classic "The Wizard of Oz." His character led the Munchkin parade and advised Dorothy, "Follow the Yellow Brick Road."
On July 2, friends and fans gathered in a park to celebrate his 86th birthday. (His actual birthday is July 8).
"Oz" was Carroll's only movie. When it appeared on television in the 1960s, he found a new career at charitable events, retail events and Oz-related events.
"It's not me; it's the movie," Carroll said. "When they see me, they think of their childhood, and it makes them smile."
