\nI want to hate Tom Cruise.<\/p>\n

Sorry. Hate is a horrid word. Despise, then.<\/p>\n

I want to despise Tom Cruise.<\/p>\n

I blame his face. And his off the screen actions. And his religious choices.
\n\"a2\"<\/a>
\nSee? When I put it on paper it seems rather disgusting to despise someone for such things. Although that Scientology stuff is so incredibly filthy. But I guess Tom saw Going Clear <\/em>too because rumor is he is leaving the cult. So maybe it will be ok to embrace the fact that, as a Movie Star, I like Tom Cruise. And considering he has been a \u201cA-Lister\u201d for 30 years I think it is safe to say that a lot of people like to watch Cruise pretend to be badass.<\/p>\n

His most redeeming quality is the documented fact that he is a nut. I\u2019m not talking about the jumping on the couch or the arranged marriages (plural).\u00a0 I\u2019m speaking about the \u201cI\u2019m the biggest Star in the world and I do my own damn stunts, dammit!\u201d thing that has led to many a spectacular action sequences over the years.<\/p>\n

And the older Cruise gets, the higher the bar goes.<\/p>\n

The stunts in Mission Impossible- Rouge Nation <\/em>are fantastic. Harrowing and breathtaking. That\u2019s all you need to know. Tom hangs from a plane, speeds on a motorcycle and reportedly holds his breath for 6 minutes (although that underwater scene looks incredibly aided by computer effects and this claim may be as valid as existence of Xenu).
\n\"XXX<\/a>
\nThis fifth installment nearly hits the same level of entertainment achieved by Ghost Protocol, <\/em>capturing the chemistry and comedy of the supporting cast. These films have become action-by-committee as Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames are back to provide laughs.<\/p>\n

While watching the film I couldn\u2019t help think that these Mission Impossible <\/em>films are much like the Fast and Furious <\/em>films: they have gotten better as the series goes along and they fully embrace the ridiculousness of what is going on up on the screen. Rouge Nation <\/em>is an action film of the modern time. Self-aware, over the top and fully committed to showing you something to get your toes curled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
