What has kept Ethan Hunt (the ageless Tom Cruise) and his many impossible missions fresh is how mutable, and nimble, the storytelling has been over the years. This has especially been the case since Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,

College would have been a whole lot better if Melissa McCarthy had been there. “Dee Rock” (McCarthy) is the funniest student on campus in the first Life of the Party trailer.

Did This Doritos Super Bowl Commercial Confirm That Tyrion Lannister is a Targaryen?
We may have to wait until 2019 for the return of Game of Thrones, but the biggest question coming out of the Super Bowl is not about whether Eagles tight end Zach Ertz had control of the ball when he scored the game’s final touchdown (reader—he did), but whether fans were given a crucial Game of Thrones Easter egg in the Doritos Blaze v. Mountain Dew Ice commercial that aired during the game.

A Bigger, Scarier, Smarter New Mutant Dinosaur Threatens Jurassic World
Owen Grady’s (Chris Pratt) loveable charm gave Jurassic World an endearing lightness. In the original series, the animals were treated like imprisoned science experiments. Owen loves the raptors and treats them with respect. That will solve everything and make Jurassic Park totally safe, right? Nope, still giant man-eating reptiles.
The comedic levity of the most recent installment seems to have been squashed like a greedy reptile breeder under a T-Rex foot.

Okoye for Queen of Wakanda! Danai Gurira brought a brand new Black Panther clip to Jimmy Kimmel Live! and we are in awe. Silly Klaw (Andy Serkis) tries to attack Okoye and Nakia with mere bullets, but he is no match for their technology and super warrior skills. It only takes one shot for Okoye to totally wreck their car, and she does it in the most epic way possible. These ladies prove there is not a weak link in the entire nation of Wakanda.
The Definitive List of All of Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi Answers
