Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 review
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to groan as loud as you can for me making that reference. I bring you the latest installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise with Tom Cruise, Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1. We’ve had to go five years without seeing Ethan Hunt, and the rest of the IMF team, head out on another adventure. In this one, old enemies and old “friends” come back to face Ethan as a worldwide threat rises up. This threat is like no enemy that the IMF, or you, have ever seen. Christopher McQuarrie returns to direct this Mission movie, his third. In this installment, we get desert gun fights, intense submarine action, car chases, an epic jump off a cliff with a motorcycle by Cruise himself, a standoff on a train and a train crash. A little bit of everything from the action smorgasbord. Is it good enough to make sense for you to get up off your couch to check it out? Watch, or listen, to this spoiler-free review to find out!
Edge Of Tomorrow review
Tom Cruise is no Maverick in this one but he gets battle-tested real quick. No new movies this week worth reviewing (just an after school special starring Buzz Lightyear), so in light of the phenomenon that is Top Gun: Maverick, we're going to a past Tom Cruise movie. The 2014 sci-fi action-adventure mind scrambler that is Edge Of Tomorrow. Here he gets top billing with Emily Blunt who commands the screen as a mighty soldier against man-killing aliens bent on world domination. Picture a mashup of Starship Troopers and Groundhog Day and you'll get a little picture of this Doug Liman-directed film. Listen to my spoiler-free review to learn more!
