Awesome Tom Cruise

To coincide with the release of Top Gun: Maverick, The Late Late Show host James Corden met up with Tom Cruise to take a celebratory flight. But it was no ordinary flight, with Cruise piloting a vintage fighter plane and Corden afraid of crawling into its cockpit, let alone engaging in a dogfight. Then it’s time for Top Gun school.

Filmmaker Stephen Vitale and actor Miles Fisher poke fun at the political landscape by declaring none other than Tom Cruise as a candidate for the 2020 US Presidential election. He certainly has more experience saving the world than most people, so why not? Now about that scientology thing…

33 years after the release of the flyboy classic, Maverick is back, and he’s got no plans to give up his love of flying fighter jets despite unmanned drones horning in on his action. Tom Cruise looks as good as ever as he flies fancy jets, and helps mentor Goose’s son, played by Miles Tiller.

In Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Ethan Hunt tries to finish a mission that ended badly. This leads the CIA to question his motives, and ends up sending other agents – including one played by Henry Cavill – to take down Hunt. Twice the enemies, twice the stunts.

Say what you will about Tom Cruise, but one thing you can’t say is that he isn’t dedicated to his craft. Not only did Cruise learn to fly a helicopter for Mission Impossible: Fallout, he performed solo flying stunts, while acting his part, and operating on-board cameras.

Conan O’Brien apes Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and Carpool Karaoke, but without the lattes or the singing. He takes a casual drive through London’s traffic and rain with megastar Tom Cruise, though Conan doesn’t seem to get the whole interview part of the concept.

“I wanna have fat hands and I wanna dance.” Tom Cruise sat down with BBC Radio 1 to talk about some of his funniest scenes, his favorite fight sequences, the movies that blow his mind and more.

(SPOILERS, Gore) CineFix compares the underrated Edge of Tomorrow aka Live Die Repeat with its manga counterpart All You Need is Kill, which is a more faithful adaptation of the eponymous light novel. The movie cut a lot of corners, but it’s still a great film.

Tom Cruise stars in this film based on the story of Barry Seal, an airline pilot who got wrangled into helping the CIA and DEA, and ends up running drugs and guns for Pablo Escobar and the Medellín Cartel. From director Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow).

If you’ve ever seen Vanilla Sky, you know there’s a scene at the end where Tom Cruise takes a dive off the edge of a skyscraper. YouTuber DrMachakil seized on the opportunity, and decided that Tom should take a trip through a few other films on the way down. (Thanks Rob!)

Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe star in this popcorn flick about a pissed off undead Egpytian princess. Tom does things from great heights, gets hurt, runs, is low key good at comedy, stares intensely, starts with a whisper, ends with a scream, saves the day, smiles.

Burger Fiction catalogs every time that action star Tom Cruise had to put on his running shoes and either run towards adventure or beat a hasty retreat from danger. With all the running he’s been doing for the last 30-odd years, no wonder he’s in such great shape.

…or half of it, as least. The one man blockbuster factory dropped by The Late Late Show to recreate scenes from some of his most popular movies. Sadly, they skipped Magnolia to make time for freakin’ Jack Reacher. Oh well, at least Edge of Tomorrow is here.

Former army cop Jack Reacher returns to his old barracks to meet the new commanding officer. But when he gets there, the CO has been framed and he’s being accused of murder. Tom Cruise and Cobie Smulders star in this adaptation of Lee Child’s 2013 novel.

Tom Cruise may not be as crazy as Jackie Chan, but he’s awfully close. He didn’t have a double for his airplane stunt in Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, which took them eight takes to get right. It should be named MI: Balls of Steel.

Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, and Jeremy Renner team up against Alec Baldwin as his bureaucrats attempt to shut down the IMF. But Ethan and his crew won’t go down quietly as they take on one last mission to shut down an evil syndicate.

Hot on the heels of the teaser, we’ve got the first full-length trailer, which gives more insight into the story – in which Ethan and his squad must take down an evil organization called The Syndicate. That alley chase scene just looks sick.

We like Tom Cruise best in action and sci-fi flicks. The latest in his Mission Impossible series looks as thrilling as ever, despite the guy being 19 years older than in his first MI movie. Plus, Simon Pegg is back. Yay! Hits theaters 7/31/15.

More clips of Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt repeatedly dying but ever improving in the latest trailer for Edge of Tomorrow, a movie for the video game generation. Based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s novel All You Need is Kill.

It’s a plot device we’ve seen before: Groundhog Day, Run Lola Run, Source Code. This time, Tom Cruise is stuck in a loop in which he must try over and over again to save mankind. Directed by Doug Liman (Swingers, The Bourne Identity, Go).

The latest trailer for Joe Kosinski’s post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller pits Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) against killer drones as he searches for the secrets of our abandoned planet amongst his scattered memories.

The latest trailer for director Christopher McQuarrie’s upcoming Tom Cruise flick has a solid mix of action, suspense and wit. That “get out of the car” sequence is pretty classic.

Tom Cruise stars as an ex-military police vigilante who takes the law into his own hands as he tries to take down a sniper who killed five random victims. Based on the Lee Child book One Shot.
