Wes Anderson and the Art of Repeating Yourself

Wes Anderson returns with The Phoenician Scheme, a film that feels like opening a drawer in your grandparents’ house you weren’t supposed to find, and discovering a perfectly ordered trove of secrets, maps, and faded correspondences written in beautiful cursive.

Tom Cruise and the Enduring Legacy of Mission: Impossible

Tom Cruise has become the face of action cinema thanks to his iconic role as Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible series. Since the first film hit screens in 1996, Cruise has pushed the boundaries of what’s possible on film, literally. He’s scaled the world’s tallest building, clung to the side of a moving plane, and leapt from planes at 25,000 feet - all for real, with no stunt doubles.

HALLOW ROAD is a gripping, claustrophobic drama set primarily within the confines of a car as two parents race to the scene of an accident involving their daughter.
