Now on 4K, Blu-Ray, DVD, & Digital – TOP GUN: MAVERICK

Now on 4K, Blu-Ray, DVD, & Digital – TOP GUN: MAVERICK I’m not kidding when I say that Top Gun: Maverick is still one of my favorite movies of the year. It’s one of those cinematic experiences that is still engrained in me. Director Joseph Kosinski and star Tom Cruise pulled out all the stops in making their sequel one for the ages. A high-flying spectacle void of blatant CGI and cheesy effects, as they relied on practical effects and stunt work to make the audience feel like they were right in cockpit with Maverick, Rooster, Hangman, and the rest of the characters. This wasRead More →

Movie Review: TOP GUN: MAVERICK

TOP GUN: MAVERICK Director: Joseph KosinskiStarring: Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Glen Powell, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Monica Barbaro, Lewis Pullman, Val Kilmer, Ed Harris, Danny Ramirez, Jay Ellis, Greg Tarzan Davis, Bashir Salahuddin Top Gun: Maverick is the perfect kickoff for the summer blockbuster season, and dare I say that it’s better than the original? Audiences lost their mind back in 1986 when Tom Cruise played aviator Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, and now Maverick’s cocky and reckless attitude is back. He’s never backed down from being a Navy aviator and is considered the fastest man alive as he pushes boundaries, yet again, literally soaring to newRead More →

Movie Review: THE MUMMY

THE MUMMY Director: Alex Kurtzman Starring: Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe, Sofia Boutella, Jake Johnson, Annabelle Wallis, Courtney B. Vance I bet the first thought that came to your mind was, “Do we really need another Mummy movie?” There was potential at hand, but now the answer is no. This reboot finds Tom Cruise replacing Brendan Fraser as the action hero. While that feels a bit unoriginal, there is a gender swap with Star Trek Beyond star Sofia Boutella as the title character once portrayed by Boris Karloff back in 1932. I mention Karloff to point out that Universal Studios is looking to have a franchiseRead More →

Movie Review: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE-ROGUE NATION

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE-ROGUE NATION Writer/Director: Christopher McQuarrie Starring: Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner, Ving Rhames, Rebecca Ferguson, Alec Baldwin, Simon McBurney It’s been nearly twenty years and Tom Cruise is still laughing in the face of danger as he continues his successful run as Ethan Hunt. His core team, the IMF, is the target of two different organizations. Alec Baldwin’s Hunley and the rest of the CIA are hoping to shut them down due to due to their unorthodox methods. Hunt’s bigger problem is with another group, known as The Syndicate. They have received the identities of his fellow teammates including Benji (Pegg) and BrandtRead More →

Movie Trailer: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE-ROGUE NATION

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE-ROGUE NATION Director: Christopher McQuarrie Starring: Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Alec Baldwin, Ving Rhames, Rebecca Ferguson Tom Cruise has hit a bit of a rough patch over the last decade. I found Edge of Tomorrow enjoyable, but unfortunately, it didn’t have the big box office draw it should have had. He manages to win over audiences when he plays Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible films. I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed the last one, Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol. Cruise pulls no punches by his death-defying stunt work in each film, and the latest in this twenty year old franchiseRead More →

Movie Review: EDGE OF TOMORROW

EDGE OF TOMORROW Director: Doug Liman Starring: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, Brendan Gleeson, Jonas Armstrong, Kick Gurry, Tony Way I think I would be pretty disgruntled if I was thrown into war with aliens only to die, get stuck in a time loop, and then have to relive those two days all over again. Tom Cruise stars as military officer William Cage who wakes up and finds himself on a training base not sure of how he got there. He is approached by Master Sergeant Farell (Paxton) who takes him to his new combat team. Cage, who has no experience or training, isRead More →

Movie Review: OBLIVION

OBLIVION Director: Joseph Kosinski Starring: Tom Cruise, Andrea Riseborough, Olga Kurylenko, Morgan Freeman, Melissa Leo With the exception of Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol, Tom Cruise movies have been very ho-hum lately. They have ridden the fence of mediocrity, but who is to blame? Is it the material? Is it Tommy boy, the guy that used to make huge blockbuster hits? Or both? The film starts off with Jack Harper (Cruise) narrating the destruction of the Earth and what is left of it. I immediately get perturbed whenever that much exposition is done all in voice-over. An alien invasion destroyed the Moon which caused massive earthquakes andRead More →

Movie Review: JACK REACHER

JACK REACHER Director: Christopher McQuarrie Starring: Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins, Robert Duvall, David Oyelowo A sniper eyes various people through the scope of his rifle and lets off six shots killing five random targets in a plaza area. We see the face of our lone gunman. He is young, good looking, and has a five o’clock shadow. He leaves the parking ramp in his white van but purposefully leaves behind a trail of clues including gun shells and a quarter with his finger print on him. The cops quickly track down our gunman who is a former military sniper by the name ofRead More →
