Where to start. Okay, so as a fan of the Brendan Fraser Mummy from back in the day, like many I was skeptical. But at the end of the day, I have to appreciate that this film was not a copycat.

From that moment on I was determined to watch the movie in its entirety so that I could write this.
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation starring Tom Cruise Paramount Pictures

Tom Cruise is still a star. It’s really no surprise why this movie has been doing so well. Let’s face it, even if you aren’t a fan of Tom Cruise, he still has the star power, still puts his best foot forward in order to give the best performance possible. But besides that, the film was not only action packed but it had sexual tension, comedy and action rolled up into one neat little package.

BLOGGERS NOTE: This is just petty and ridiculous. I mean really, is this what society has come to? By: Nick Venable While there have been times in life where a complete refund of one’s time and attention would be appreciated, such as for the first season of AMC’s The Killing, which swore up and down to deliver an answer to its central mystery and then tossed those … Continue reading Man Files A Complaint Because Jack Reacher Trailer Features An Explosion Not In The Film

Action packed and funny, two things that really do work together. The car chase was just awesome. It was fast and Tom Cruise, he really does well in action movies very well. Am I a huge fan of his? No, personally I think he used to have his head up his tushie way too much, but now, he seems to be a little more grounded … Continue reading Jack Reacher
