Sure, the biggest high school drama story right now is Vanessa Hudgens’ naked pictures, but once you’ve filled your spooge sock*, turn your attention to another high school production: Hamlet 2.

We’ve seen Tom Cruise in his Nazi get-up from the film Valkyrie, but the image above is the first of the actor surrounded by his cinematic co-conspirators. All of the men are involved in a plot to kill Hitler and end the Second World War*, as well as a plot to pretend like Tom Cruise … Continue reading
