Say what you will about Tom Cruise (and really you can say whatever you want about that crazy mofo and his awful religion – sorry I generally let people believe whatever they want to believe but everything I read about Scientology is just awful) but the dude knows how to make good movies.
I’ve enjoyed every single one of the Mission Impossible films (well, ok the second one isn’t great) and I hope they keep making them for eternity. I completely missed Dead Reckoning Part One in the theaters. I miss just about everything in the theaters these days as I rarely make the trip, but I’m looking forward to catching it now that it is out on Blu-ray. Like just about every other big blockbuster hit, this one comes in a variety of formats with a variety of extras.
Also out this week that looks interesting:
Blue Beetle: I am pretty much superheroe’d out at this point, but I’ve heard good things about this one, or at least it seems to be trying for something slightly different so I’ll give it a chance at some point.
The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection, Vol. 3: Includes Rope, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Torn Curtain, Topaz, and Frenzy. All in 4K. Calling all of these classics is a bit much.
Nanny: Criterion brings us this story about an immigrant Nanny, piecing together a new life in New York City while caring for the child of an Upper East Side family, is forced to confront a concealed truth that threatens to shatter her precarious American Dream.
