“Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One” is a 2023 film staring Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg and others. The film has a promising premise about AI called “The Entity” gaining consciousness and getting out of control. Then it lost the thread and became the usual M.I.-style scavenger hunt.

“Last Christmas” is the best bad film of the past 5 years. Pros: a. Emilia Clarke’s singing at St Mary's Church, Bryanston Square, London (depicted as a homeless shelter); b. the ice-skating scene, filmed at Alexandra Palace in North London. For me, this was the best part. Cons: everything else. With this film - forget rom-coms. This is a romantic supernatural thriller. It deviated from the typ...
