In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

Best Bad Film of the 2000s? ***This Review of Mission: Impossible II has a Spoiler Section*** Cast & Crew - 2:50 Production Notes - 6:25 Movie Specs - 13:20 Production Values - 16:59 Performances - 21:18 Oscar Lens - 24:13 Spoilers Ahead! - 25:11 The Script: Do We Choose To Accept it? - 25:30 Best/ Worst Scenes - 33:40 Final Thoughts/ Where it Fits in the MIU - 39:09 Our Mission: Impossible re-watch continues leading up to late July’s release of Fallout, and it’s time to review perhaps the most polarizing film of the franchise, Mission: Impossible II. John Woo’s action spectacular wows us with some stunts and makes us cringe with everything else. Is the movie awesomely bad or just bad? The review travels through our usual checks points. Our NONSPOILER review includes a production profile filled with cast & crew bios, production notes, and movie specs. We then review all of the production values and performances before we discuss the film under the intense scrutiny of the Academy in our Oscar Lens. We break for a spoiler warning around midway and head into a full SPOILER filled breakdown of the plot, the movie’s best and many worst scenes, and where the film fits into the entire Mission Impossible Universe. Our review devolves into two grown men giggling uncontrollably on many occasions, and you don’t want to miss it. Go back to our catalog for our review of the first Mission Impossible review and seek out all our coverage of the current blockbusters from this year like Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and Incredibles 2 as well as many of the big hit movies from years past during our entire overview of the MCU. Keep track of all the news of the film world in our Hollywood Hot Take series, be previewed of coming attractions as we get you ready for what’s soon to be in theaters, and enjoy our mid year updates on next year’s Oscar Race as well as the offerings of HBO and Netflix. Whatever your movie preference, help us help you plan your next movie night with our back catalog. Do please leave us a review on iTunes.

We’re also at MMandOscar on Twitter, and mikemikeandoscar.com is coming soon. As always, thank you for listening. When reality sucks, keep watching movies with us.
