So even if his latest venture, the short-form mobile video streaming content platformQuibi, ultimately fails – and all signs point to that being the case – Katzenberg still has quite a lot to be proud of in his continuing career....

Let me start with the most important thing first:Mission: Impossible – Falloutis a monster home-run of a movie. Writer-directorChristopher McQuarrie(the first director to return to theMissionfranchise) andTom Cruisehave crafted an action extravaganza that’s loaded with tons of “I can’t believe they just did that!” moments. As most of you know, Cruise is famous for doing his own stunts, and what he does inFalloutwill leave your jaw on the ground. But beyond flying a helicopter in crazy ways, riding a motorcycle at high speeds through oncoming traffic in Paris, and jumping out of a plane at thirty-five thousand feet, there is a fight scene in a bathroom withHenry CavillandLiang Yangthat is worth the price of admission alone....

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Swordis, without a doubt, the most divisive entry inThe Legend of Zeldafranchise since 1987’sAdventure of Link. The initial release’s clunky motion controls posed a challenge on its own, and many players were displeased by the cinematic structure of the game, which was more focused on linear quests than on exploration.Breath of the Wild, on the other hand, received immediate critical acclaim and quickly became thebiggest commercial success of the franchise, with almost 23 million copies sold on the Nintendo Switch and more than 1....

If you remember at the end of the last season ofStar Trek: Discovery, the crew and the USS Discovery were jettisoned centuries into the future after surviving a battle with Control. The bold move by showrunnerAlex Kurtzmanessentially removed all the immediate ties and constraints to the originalStar Trekuniverse that the show had struggled to be faithful to since its inception. I applauded the decision and after I interviewedDoug Joneson the red carpet of The Saturn Awards a few days ago, I’m not alone in that feeling...
