Consider the idea that the now nearly three-decade old franchise serves as a generational time capsule, not just for Tom Cruise (who started the series as a hunky 33-year-old, and now, is jumping off cliffs on motorcycles as a sexagenarian), but also for summer blockbuster tent poles in general.

For my money, the finest action franchise in cinematic history saw its seventh installment, "Mission: Impossible -- Dead Reckoning, Part One" open Wednesday.

To help bring you up to speed, we've encapsulated the previous installments in one quick, handy guide.

Happy Birthday John Woo!

Remembering Robert Towne 1934-2024

One of the masters of screenwriting has left the building. Robert Towne has died at 89. He won an Oscar for writing Chinatown, and he was nominated for writing The Last Detail (possibly my favorite of his screenplays), Shampoo (another phenomenal screenplay) and Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes.

Hal Ashby, Warren Beatty and Towne

He did uncredited story contributions to countless films including Bonnie and Clyde and The Godfather. No big deal, just contributed to the garden scene in Godfather!?! In addition to his big ones from the 70s, he also wrote such films as Days of Thunder, Mission: Impossible, and John Woo's Mission: Impossible II. He was also a consulting producer on TV's Mad Men from 2014-2015.

This MI2 slander will not stand.

Me watching Mission Impossible 2 and realising people consider this the weakest of the bunch:

John Woo basically did what Sam Raimi later did on Dr Strange 2.

Just decided to over-direct the fuck out of something. And it’s fun.
