Mission: Impossible – Fallout

Hard to believe the first one of these came out in 1996. All of my current students, for instance, were born after that.

Glad they brought back Rebecca Ferguson, a highlight for me of the previous film, 2015’s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation. Stunts, cinematography, locations, Cruise intensity — all look top notch.

Opens July 27, 2018.

Hostiles

Saw it last night. Liked it a lot. More than I thought I would. Did a little Twitter thread about it.

I really liked HOSTILES. Another example of how a simple genre plot — viz., a prisoner transfer — allows for the exploration of weighty ideas. Malick-esque at times, and not just because it marks the first pairing of Christian Bale and Q’orianka Kilche since THE NEW WORLD.
