    Turns out Dragonheart’s greatest contribution is providing the score to trailers forever.

    One of my fondest memories of going to the movies is seeing Dragonheart with my mother and youngest sibling. Having rewatched it somewhat recently, though, I'll admit that it may not hold up super well. The music is still great, however.

    I saw The Arrival in a nearly empty theater the week it came out. As a fan of both hard science fiction and Fifties alien invasion movies, I loved it, and was glad S&E as well as Harlan Ellison agreed with me.

    I watched all of these movies, with the exception of Eddie, on repeat when I was a kid. Some hold up better than others, but I am surprised that they each held my attention, considering that there were long scenes of drama and exposition within them.
    And my goodness, the clips they show in this episode pretty much spoil all the movies reviewed.

      True but I think it's the best film because it's the only one that has both suspense and action. Brian De Palma directed a film, the others are just producer machines.

    Mission Impossible (the movie) has SO little to do with the television series, it is almost insulting. Peter Graves was asked to reprise his role as Jim Phelps, but he refused when he learned the character's fate. And Greg Morris (Barney Collier) was so disgusted by the film, he supposedly walked out in the middle. I don't know if any other original cast members, but I recall Martin Landau (Rollin Hand) said that the film desecrated everything the original series stood for. I would agree.
    I have not been able to watch ANY of the Mission films because they are not Mission. They are vanity projects for Tom Cruise.

      The first one was so confusing that I stopped watching. MI2 was decent, but MI3 was basically a series of stunts with an oh-so-familiar plot. I haven't seen the other ones.

      I will say that if I was a fan of the TV show, I would understand the frustration. However, I like that first film regardless of it's messy storyline. That is really the only film in the series that actually feels like the work of a director. The other films are just stunt machines.
