Happy Independence Day to all my American readers out there. That’s totally why I delayed posting the Snippets from yesterday and not because my editor was absolutely exhausted last night. No sir. Regardless, here’s my take on two big blockbusters.

Baby Driver
The Mummy

Man, do I love me some Dustin Hoffman. Sure, he was in Little Fockers, but I don’t hold that against him. Actors gotta eat, after all. Regardless, he has enough goodwill left over from great movies like this one to keep him in good graces for a long time. Great movies like this one.

Also, what do you think of the new label? “Reel Snippet Classic” was a bit of a mouth full, so I decided to give Classic Snippets a try.

Rain Man

Edge of Tomorrow is a very well done action movie that gets a bit of bad reputation from its main actor. But make no mistake, Tom Cruise is well in his element here and for those that don’t like him, you get to watch him die many times throughout the movie. The rest of the elements are no slouch either, with special mention going to the plot, the creature design, and all of the action sequences. However, and this is a big however, the ending is a major cop out that makes less sense the more you think about it. It’s true that’s only one thing, but it really drags down what was shaping up to be a great movie. Still, if you can get past that, you’ll find quite a bit to like about this flick. Even if it tripped on the last leg of the race, it’s bound to be smarter than the upcoming Transformers movie.
