Tom Cruise is unyielding in off-balanced 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' Ethan Hunt has four days to save the world from AI and nuclear warfare in 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.' Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell star.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning was exciting but a little empty. Read my review for @azcentral.com here: www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

'Warfare' is all wailing and blood and bombing. But for what? Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza teams up with Alex Garland and A24 for a real life look into the Iraq War. 'Warfare' staring Will Poulter, Joseph Quinn out now.

Based on the memories of his platoon and his service, Mendoza’s "Warfare" showcases the real horrors of war, even if it gave me a lot of mixed emotions. www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

Arizonans will never forget cult show 'Wallace and Ladmo.' Long-lost tapes reveal why Arizona kids will remember the magic of "Wallace and Ladmo." Never before heard interviews with the cast reveal why the magic stuck around.

Children's television in Arizona is defined by the uniqueness of Wallace and Ladmo. Never before heard interviews help answer why it's legacy is so long lasting: www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

'Parasite' was for the freaks. 'Mickey 17' is for the family. Well, kinda "Mickey 17" isn't "Parasite" if that's what you want. But Pattinson's range fits for Bong Joon Ho's playful story of humanity and how it survives.

β€œMickey 17” might not seem like Bong Joon Ho's tone if all you’ve seen is β€œParasite,” but a quick peek into his filmography makes it more clear that β€œMickey 17” might be the most classic Bong movie yet. www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

Mikey Madison sparkles in must-see 'Anora,' where 'Uncut Gems' meets 'Pretty Woman' Mikey Madison and Sean Baker ground intoxicating fairytale of marriage gone wrong. With filmmaking and love, 'Anora' teaches money isn't everything.

In many ways, the β€œAnora” is everything people said it was. It’s lush, it’s electrifying, it’s wild. But more than that, the movie has real heart.

And now it has 5 Oscars, including Best Picture: www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

3 horror kings made the most bananas movie of 2025. Let 'The Monkey' wind you up Horror movie icons Osgood Perkins and James Wan connect to make this Stephen King story an outrageously fun time. "The Monkey" is lowbrow and wild.

β€œThe Monkey,” the newest film from β€œLonglegs” director Osgood Perkins, is not elevated horror and all the better for it. Read my review here: www.azcentral.com/story/entert...
