This being 2015 though, we really should not have to make that distinction as good …
Agent Cruise, your mission should you choose to accept it, is to hit the box office and reach the number one spot. Oh, you’ve already done that? Good job Tom Cruise! Unlike several other summer tentpole movies with big, aging names attached to them, Mission Impossible 5: Rogue Nation did gangbuster numbers at the box office. With an opening weekend …
Yesterday, I found myself embroiled in a heated email conversation with some friends. See, I had apparently spoiled Ant-Man for some people. In a nutshell, after checking out our awesome Ant-Man competition, a non-comic book reading friend had some queries about Hank Pym/Scott Lang. I explained that Pym was the original comic-book Ant-Man who handed over the mantle to Lang …
