'Mission: Impossible—Fallout' (2018) Movie Review

Since the beginning, the Mission: Impossible movies have always been a showcase for Tom Cruise doing insane stunts for our amusement. And god bless the crazy little Scientology monster for that. I’ve said many times that if he can die—and I’m not sure he can—he’s going to die doing one of these movies, and I find a certain nobility in people putting themselves in harm’s way to entertain me. The last few chapters, however, has been a constant escalation in this regard as the franchise frontman pushes further and further the bounds of sanity and insurance coverage with each successive stunt. And Mission: Impossible—Fallout takes things to a whole new stratosphere. Literally in one case.

This 'Mission: Impossible—Fallout' Trailer Is Totally Nuts

I’ve said it before, but I think it bears repeating: If Tom Cruise can in fact die, and the jury is still out on that one, he’s going to die doing an insane stunt, probably for a Mission: Impossible movie. Seriously, just watch the new trailer for Mission: Impossible—Fallout and count the times where he almost bites it.

'Justice League' (2017) Movie Review

Justice League is clunky and messy. It’s jumbled and misshapen. The presence of multiple directors—Zack Snyder did the bulk of the heavy lifting, though Joss Whedon handled extensive reshoots and rewrites, and roughly 20% of the finished film belongs to him, according to reports—is readily apparent in the mishmash of tones and the fact that it watches like multiple movies shoehorned together. Cringe-worthy choices abound. The fight scenes all look like they’re lifted from a video game promo. And, of course, since this is a superhero movie, the plot revolves around an iconic group of comic book characters searching for CGI boxes powerful enough to destroy the world. But for all the bumps and bruises and problems, and they are legion, Justice League is a hell of a lot of fun.

'Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice' (2016) Movie Review

There are a number of elements in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that I think are great, and that fill me with hope for the future of the burgeoning the DC Extended Universe. Which makes it that much more frustrating that the latest superhero throwdown is such a jumbled misfire, such a bloated, tedious slog, that it’s ultimately just not good. Maybe it’s time that we, as a people, stop letting Zack Snyder do things.

Wonder Woman Speaks In The Final 'Batman V Superman' Trailer

Final trailer may be a bit misleading, as damn near every time we get one of these ubiquitous “final trailers,” low and behold, a few days later another drops in our laps. But what the hell, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has a final trailer that you can check out now if you so choose.

'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.' Movie Review: Sometimes Slick And Fun Is Good Enough

If you’ve ever seen a Guy Ritchie film, especially the likes of Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, you won’t be surprised by what you get in his update of the 1960s spy serial The Man From U.N.C.L.E.. Fast-paced and energetic, full of handsome heroes and a sultry villainess, and hyper-stylized, this isn’t a particularly deep movie, but it is an entertaining espionage romp that provides a decent amount of amusement.

Check Out The New 'Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice' Trailer

As a director, Zack Snyder is hit and miss for me, but the more we see and hear, the more intrigued I am about his upcoming superhero dual Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. At San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, Warner Bros. dropped a shiny new trailer, and I have to admit, it looks pretty badass.
