Weekend Roundtable: Favorite Movie Stunts

Josh Zyber — Fri, 27 Jul 2018 16:00:50 +0000

In each successive Mission: Impossible entry, Tom Cruise tries to dazzle audiences with new and incredible action stunts, from climbing the world’s tallest building to dangling from various airplanes and helicopters in flight. Our Roundtable this week puts a spotlight on some of cinema’s other great stunt scenes. M. Enois Duarte Harold Lloyd will always...

Mission: Impossible – Fallout Review: Go Ahead and Accept

Deirdre Crimmins — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 17:00:40 +0000

Like The NeverEnding Story before it, Mission: Impossible continues to dominate the field of inaccurately named movies. Unlike The NeverEnding Story, Mission: Impossible keeps its high quality consistent into the sixth entry of this summer staple. This year’s contribution is Mission: Impossible – Fallout. I am incredibly tempted to make a pun about all of...

The 2018 Spirit and Razzie Awards

Josh Zyber — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 13:00:45 +0000

After four consecutive years of simply mirroring the Oscars’ Best Picture pick, the Independent Spirit Awards actually attempted to follow their mission this year and rewarded a different movie that Oscar passed over. Meanwhile, the Razzies are still a thing that happens for some reason. Spirit Awards Jordan Peele and ‘Get Out’ were the big...

‘American Made’ Review: Cruise out of Control

Philip Brown — Thu, 28 Sep 2017 16:00:39 +0000

The pairing of Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman previously delivered the unjustly ignored (then justly rediscovered) ‘Edge of Tomorrow’, a delightfully clever sci-fi action epic. Now they’ve made ‘American Made’, a film that’s difficult to describe but thoroughly entertaining and righteously cynical about American values and Cruise’s onscreen persona (which were once one and...

‘The Mummy’ (2017) Review: Some Good Wrapped in a Lot of Stupid

Philip Brown — Thu, 08 Jun 2017 17:00:42 +0000

Already lambasted, dismissed and wiped under the nether regions by pretty much every critic with access to a keyboard, ‘The Mummy’ actually isn’t that bad under the right set of expectations (i.e. low ones). Sure, this monster movie universe pilot, Brendan Fraser remake, and excuse for Tom to cruise is daft, convoluted, idiotic and pointless,...

The Trailer Park: The Beginning of Good Things?

M. Enois Duarte — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 20:00:50 +0000

As more and more trailers tease viewers with movies to come in 2017, here’s a collection of previews that may potentially launch new franchises. ‘The Mummy’ (2017) Tom Cruise isn’t a name we usually attach to horror movies, except perhaps as a footnote for sporting a pair of fangs in ‘Interview with the Vampire’, and...

‘Jack Reacher: Never Go Back’ Review: Cruise Shouldn’t Have Gone Back

Philip Brown — Fri, 21 Oct 2016 18:00:44 +0000

‘Jack Reacher’ might have made buckets of cash a few Christmases ago because the Tom Cruise production starring Tom Cruise featured Tom Cruise beating up bad guys in Tom Cruisian fashion. However, it wasn’t very good. Nonetheless, money talks and bad movies walk, so ‘Jack Reacher’ made just enough to justify a thoroughly unnecessary sequel....

Poll: Rank the Impossible Missions

Josh Zyber — Thu, 06 Aug 2015 12:00:07 +0000

As ‘Rogue Nation’ burns up the theatrical box office, how does it rate compared to the franchise’s earlier entries? Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to vote for the best ‘Mission: Impossible’ movie in today’s poll. I haven’t seen ‘Rogue Nation’ yet, so I can’t judge that one. Our reviewer Phil didn’t...
