Tom Cruise Impresses Those Around Him

Tom Cruise was spotted taking his two lovely ladies to a Pier 59 Studios photo shoot yesterday, as photographers swarmed their Midtown hotel in hopes of catching a shot of the Cruise clan.

The 45-year-old Top Gun actor has been in NYC promoting his upcoming wartime suspense tale Lions For Lambs, after a long stay in Berlin working on another movie in the pipelines titled Valkyrie.

Speaking of Valkyrie, the 2008 thriller has fans excited, as it reunites director Bryan Singer and writer Chris McQuarrie, who created the 1995 hit film The Usual Suspects. And for his efforts, Tom has received high praise from his co-stars.

"Tom Cruise's career is no accident," says Valkyrie co-star Kenneth Branagh, who directed the new Sleuth. "He chooses well and bravely. I was incredibly impressed."
