'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' (2025) and 'Stardust' (2007)

This week, we review high-octane action Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning and romantic comedy, fantasy Stardust. Tom Cruise does it again, for the final time as international spy Ethan Hunt with his hand-in-mouth, death defying stunts. Does he manage to save the world with his masterful team and get the girl? Stardust, beautifully and cleverly written by Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn (director), boasts an all-star cast headed by Claire Danes, Charlie Cox, Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro, with 3 plots after a fallen star for love, youth, power and greed that come together at the end. Plus a Simon Pegg quiz! This post will self-destruct in 5 seconds!  Hosted on Acast.
