I find it impossible to overstate how effective the marketing campaign for "Rumble in the Bronx" was on my young and impressionable self. The film, which boils down to a relentless series of stunt and fight sequences, proved to be the perfect vehicle to introduce Jackie Chan to North American audiences - here was the first action star who, as the adverts proclaimed, had no stuntmen, no fear, and no equal.

"This girl is the nastiest skank bitch I've ever met. Do not trust her. She is a fugly slut."

"The Canyons" was one of the first movies I saw in theaters after moving to the Bay Area. It wasn't great, but I've always had an affinity for the troubled and tragic Lindsay Lohan. I managed to escape the aughts without seeing "Mean Girls," but it was a pleasure to visit it now. Thanks to a game cast and a truly hilarious screenplay from Tina Fey, this is a stellar teen comedy in the tradition of "Clueless."

After thirty-seven years onscreen, and numerous career highs and career lows, it's time to face facts: we've taken Tom Cruise for granted. But the man would die for our multiplex sins, and "Mission: Impossible - Fallout" represents his most punishing and cinematic expression yet. "I won't let you down, I won't let you down," Cruise whispers from a helicopter cockpit as his comms go out, and it's as much to the audience as to the IMF team, a hushed promise that the spectacle we're about to see will absolutely justify the $20 IMAX ticket.
