Marvel's Avengers: Age Of Ultron

Film review: ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’

Joss Whedon probably never wanted it to turn out like this. Maybe he even regrets getting on board for the whole Marvel experience. I don't know. All I do know is that there's very little of what we've come to expect from him in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and I doubt he's all that happy with what ended up on the big screen in his latest superhero smash-up.

Film Review: ‘The Avengers’ starring Robert Downey, Jr.

In the hands of your average director, The Avengers could have been ridiculous. There are long stretches of conversation where superheroes just talk to each other in small spaces, loads of complicated special effects, and the film is a whopping 2 hours and 22 minutes. On top of that, The Avengers is charged with bringing together three heroes from their respective blockbusters, and giving them some sort of likable chemistry together with new characters we don't know all that much about.

Blu-ray Review: ‘Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol’ starring Tom Cruise

If your jaw doesn't drop while you're watching Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol, then you're not really paying attention. Between star Tom Cruise's unbelievable stunts, including hanging from the tallest building in the world--a dangerous, challenging stunt that most actors would never dream of attempting--and his charm, I would go so far as to say that Cruise rarely gets the praise he deserves for going beyond what should be expected of him.
