Tom Cruise Doesn’t Want To Feel Too Safe When Doing Mission: Impossible Stunt Work Paramount By Mike Shutt/June 1, 2022 10:21 am EST Tom Cruise doing his own stunts has become just as much a part of the marketing of his films as the actual stories.

What lies ahead for Upload? Prime Video Believe it or not, despite presenting a terrifying picture of the future, “Upload” is absolutely delightful. The first season introduces app developer Nathan Brown (Robbie Amell), who abruptly dies in a self-driving car incident and finds himself “uploaded” into a digital afterlife. Thanks to his wealthy girlfriend Ingrid (Allegra Edwards), he can live on in the luxurious virtual reality of Lakeview, a totally uncomplicated (read: inevitably disastrous) situation until he finds himself falling in love with his very alive customer service angel Nora (Andy Allo)....

Chip ‘N Dale: Rescue Rangers Wanted Many More Cameos That Didn’t Happen Disney+ By BJ Colangelo/May 20, 2022 7:30 am EST It’s genuinely shocking that “Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers” exists. Every single frame of the film is littered with industry satire and references to some of animation’s most iconic characters — and we’re not just talking about characters owned by the House of Mouse. The film is a hilarious takedown of the way animation has evolved and been exploited, with the hybrid style of filmmaking feeling reminiscent of “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” or Ralph Bakshi’s “Cool World....

On Glenn Close’s orders Disney The pre-show antics gain some considerable pep once Glenn Close — reprising her Nova Prime role from the first “Guardians”’ film — shows up with some shiny Xandarian tech.

Better yet, she wants to beam us up to her ship and demonstrate the gadget’s power in person....
