See Tom Run! See Tom Leap! See New Mission Impossible Trailer!

Tom Cruise is old enough now to be some of y'alls grandad. Don't tell him that, though. Our Tom seems to be running in the opposite direction of his A.A.R.P. membership as fast as his karate slice the wind style of little legged sprinting will carry him!

That voice that must be Alec Baldwin purrs over the Ominous Chord Soundtrack (c) "WHERE IS HUNT?" I know he's not looking for the bottle of ketchup, so it must mean diminutive superstar Lil Tommy Cruise is back in the gold plated running loafers of Ethan Hunt and it's Mission Impossible time again. Seriously, has Tom Cruise been on our movie screens since around 1981-ish? A movie star since Rickey Business in '83? Is this for real? The Cruise had maintained his shiny shiny glamor this whole time while those around him have aged into Harrison Ford slamming his spaceship into golf courses and growl barking his way through whatever movie roles he has left in him.

I've actually liked the last few Cruise movies, especially Jack Reacher and that Starship Troopers Groundhog mix em up where, to the delight of my wife and self professed Cruise hater, he died a whole lot. Reacher, in fact, was directed by the same dude he tapped to direct the new Mission Impossible movie, M.I. Five: Rouge Nation. So, having enjoyed that, this bodes well for Tommy Runs-A-Lot.

Also he hangs off a lot of things, Simon Pegg is back as Quippy McEnglishFace, and the gang is facing against an evil twin version of the I.M.F. team, which I hope means they have really cool evil guy goatees, cos that's how you tell their evil, the facial hair.

The movie comes out one day before August, so mark that on your Tom Cruise event calenders and plan your weekend around it. Tom would really appreciate that.
