Ranking The Mission: Impossible Films: #8 – Mission: Impossible II (2000)
Much maligned as the worst of the Mission: Impossible franchise, Mission: Impossible II doesn’t do itself any favors upon rewatch.
Ranking John McTiernan Films: #4 – “Die Hard With A Vengeance” (1995)
John McTiernan lone sequel project is a damn good one.
Ranking John McTiernan Films: #5 – “The Thomas Crown Affair” (1999)
The Thomas Crown Affair is McTiernan’s first remake, and the movie he chose to make is strange.
Ranking John McTiernan Films: #7 – “Basic” (2003)
It’s nice to see that for a final hurrah, McTiernan stepped up his game and made a movie that is at least interesting
Ranking John McTiernan Films: #10 – “The 13th Warrior” (1999)
Yikes. What happened here? I mean this in the nicest way, but The 13th Warrior is the dumbest movie that John McTiernan has directed.

“Boy Kills World” Steps In Its Own Creativity
Boy Kills World (2024) ‘s unique premise roped me in, but a crazy idea does not guarantee proper, entertaining execution.
“The Name Of The Rose” Is Must Watch

“8MM” Is A One-Time Rewarding VERY Disturbing Watch
If you are brave enough to turn on 8MM, do not do so publicly. Turn on Hulu at home and wonder why you’ve voluntarily channeled this dark energy. It is a great one-time watch, and if you watch it twice, know you’ve got a screw loose.
