Discovering good movies, one bad movie at a time


Universal is making a second Hail Mary throw at establishing a cinematic monster movie universe all in one go, with The Mummy. And this would seem like an obvious bad move, except that somehow, The Mummy has picked up one of the last of the great Movie Stars to headline it, Tom Cruise.

Whatever you want to say about the man, there’s no doubt that he picks unique projects more than any other actor in his price range, and with his exclusive focus on tentpoles. So to celebrate The Mummy, we’re going to share our picks for the best Tom Cruise vehicles, from his early films to his 1983 breakout Risky Business, right on up to last year’s Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.

The gang also makes good on their commitment to see Wonder Women and each of them share their thoughts as part of worth mentioning.
