The one Tom Cruise film you really ought to see.

….is Louis Theroux’s new film about Scientology. After seeing it, you’ll find it very hard to look at Tom Cruise again. The film doesn’t tell you much that you didn’t suspect already. Just more evidence that the primary purpose this “church” is to take vast sums of money from crazy, gullible fools. And boy are they crazy? They believe that 75 million years ago, a galactic ruler called “Lord Xenu” gathered aliens from different planets and had their bodies frozen and dumped into volcanoes. Then their souls, known as Thetans, were released to attach themselves to all mankind. How crazy is that? Not like believing in a ruler called “God” whose son was born to a woman who’d never had sex. Then he grew up, walked on water, turned water into wine, was crucified and two days later, came back from the dead. No, that’s not crazy at all.
