Ranking The Mission: Impossible Films: #7 – Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning (2023)
There is a lot happening in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning. One could argue that there is too much going on.
“Killers Of The Flower Moon” Stitches Its Enjoyment To Its Storytelling Method
We are late to the party with Killers Of The Flower Moon (2023). But the FBI was late addressing what was happening to the Osage people, so we beg your pardon.
“Anatomy Of A Fall” Has Me Confused, But It’s Still Good.
Anatomy Of A Fall (2023) is a hard film to grasp. It’s a good movie, there is no denying that. But how good? That’s a question I’ve been asking myself and I can’t seem to land on a good answer.
“Poor Things” Is A Wonderful Fantasy Acid Trip
Poor Things is unique. It has a vibe of its own. Poor Things owns all its eccentricities and boasts its flavor of comedy and insight.
“Nyad” Is A Crowd Pleaser. Remarkably Recommendable.
Shoutout to my parents for recommending Nyad (2023). They don’t remember doing it, but I promise you, they did.

A Victim Of Expectations: “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning”
Ethan Hunt is back. The IMF is back. Where Tom Cruise is running full speed, one can guarantee that action, elaborate set pieces and backstabbing are all accounted for.
“Maestro” Evokes A Reaction, And It’s Beautiful.
Leonard Bernstein (Bradley Cooper) is one of most famous composers and musicians to ever live, and Maestro tells the story of Leonard through the lens of his marriage to actress Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein (Carey Mulligan).
“May December” Is A Crazy Story With A Breakout Performance
May December has an outstanding premise for a movie, but a solid idea doesn’t necessarily mean a solid final product. The movie still needs a director to lead the crew along the right roads and actors to supply the necessary horsepower to reach the final destination. Thankfully for audiences who love uneasy dramas with compelling characters, May December comes through with all the necessary ingredients.
“Napoleon” Is A Historical, Very Comedic, Drama
It takes some getting used to, but once one lets Joaquin Phoenix, Vanessa Kirby and the choice of tone settle into place, Napoleon establishes itself as a beautiful historical embellishment.
