The Ballad of Buster Scruggs This Western, told in six very different chapters, feels like a mirror reflecting the Coen Brothers’ filmography.

Mission Impossible: Fallout Ethan Hunt and his IMF team, along with some familiar allies, race against time after a mission gone wrong. Quote- "A full throttle blast, Fallout delivers high adrenaline thrills, chills and fun." Tom Cruise, who has proven to be an accomplished and interesting actor in the right parts, uses the IMF agent Ethan Hunt to remind us he is also a super big movie star. As charming and charismatic as ever, Cruise, now just a bit wider in his mid-50’s, is also as fully committed.  Still performing his own stunts (you’d think producer Cruise would have a talk with lemme-at-it Cruise), we spend half the film not just marveling at his physical ability but also wondering how in the hell he does all that. Of course, an on set accident, which happened while Cruise was leaping a tall building, made international headlines. Pro tip: keep your eyes peeled. The scene is actually in the movie and you and your friends can make a wager on who’s going to catch it first. For complerte Review go to:
