Mission: Impossible (1996) - The first film of the Mission Impossible franchise. Directed by the great Brian De Palma and starring Tom Cruise - possibly the last movie star in our generation.

1987 American crime comedy film written, directed and produced by Joel and Ethan Coen 

The Prestige - 4 / 4 StarsAn hidden classic from the master himself, Christopher Nolan. This one gets lost among the other great films Nolan has directed, but it's definitely worth watching if you haven't. 

8mm - 3.5 / 4 StarsWhy I love this movieI remember watching it on rental, not sure why I missed it in the theaters, and I watched just about every movie that came out in the 90s. And I still remember this movie even though I had only seen it once before we decided to do a pod on this movie.I love the supporting cast - a young Joaquin Phoenix, the late and always great James Gandolfini, and probably one of the best villainous/creepy actor Peter Stormare.

It’s a friendship movie and I love friendship movies. ★★★★ (out of 4)

RoboCop (1987) - Trailer

I love this movie. I think it's a masterpiece. ★★★★ (out of 4)

Today’s film is “Bill & Ted Face the Music,” released in 2020. Starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter. The movie is directed by Dean Parisot.Keanu Reeves has had an amazing career. He is ageless. Keanu has a full head of hair, can still play the leading man, has a lean body, and has that star quality that you are just born with. You can’t take acting lessons to be a star. You can't work out with a personal trainer to be a star. Like Robert Redford, Tom Cruise, and Will Smith, you are born with it. Keanu Reeves is one of them.This movie has a heart. And Bill and Ted are good people. Sure they are not that smart, but they are lovable. And they don’t mean any harm. Also, this movie is nostalgic. It’s a trip down memory lane. And sometimes a movie doesn’t have to be good to enjoy if it brings you back to when you were younger.

Today’s film is “Clerks,” released in 1994. The movie was written and directed by Kevin Smith.- I love this movie- One of the best movies to watch if you are an inspiring filmmaker (you don't need much to make a movie)- I love how the movie has a grainy and fuzzy look- Everything about this movie is relatable
