Tom Cruise, at an age over 60, is facing a possible change in his film career. Expectations are rising again around Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, which some consider may be his last action movie. With the watchful eyes of his followers, this new title, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, puts Cruise back in the role of Ethan Hunt, facing an Artificial Intelligence that aims to dominate the world.
About to retire from high-impact movies
The Mission: Impossible franchise, which has captivated audiences for nearly 30 years, finds a worthy conclusion in Dead Reckoning, although at times it feels like the film drags some unnecessary nods to the saga. However, McQuarrie once again demonstrates his skill in directing, creating impactful action sequences, such as an exciting aerial chase and underwater moments that will delight action movie fans.
Although the film has been rated by some critics as one of the less outstanding in the franchise, there is no doubt that it manages to position itself as one of the most relevant blockbusters of the year, thanks to the quality of its action scenes. Tom Cruise and McQuarrie face the challenge of closing a narrative arc that began with the previous installment, which elevates the film to a level of cinematic spectacle that can be impressive for fans.
With this movie, Cruise’s career could be at a crossroads. While there are rumors that he might return in the future, the reality is that, over time, the possibility of him fundamentally abandoning dangerous stunts becomes more palpable. Meanwhile, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning is already available for streaming through SkyShowtime, giving fans the opportunity to enjoy this last adventure, already with a sense of farewell.

SkyShowtime offers movie and television lovers the opportunity to immerse themselves in the creative universe of Taylor Sheridan, known for his work on acclaimed series such as Yellowstone and Mayor of Kingstown. The platform also features Wind River, a dark thriller starring Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen, which addresses the alarming disappearance of Native American women in U.S. reservations.
A movie that gets under your skin
Set in the Indian reservation of Wyoming, Wind River is a moving tale that highlights the isolation and neglect experienced by its inhabitants. The film, which follows an FBI agent and a wildlife tracker in their investigation of a murder, has been praised for its tense atmosphere and social critique. Critics have noted that Sheridan demonstrates masterful control over the narrative, and the performances of Renner and Olsen are particularly brilliant.
Despite its overwhelming positive criticism, Wind River is not a conventionally recommended film, but its quality and relevant message make it a work worth watching. It is worth noting that the challenges during filming were significant; the team had to recreate winter conditions due to the lack of natural snow, using diffusers and tractors to create the appropriate environment. This effort is visible in the raw and icy atmosphere that permeates the film, resonating with the themes and visual style of other works by Sheridan such as Sicario and Comanchería.
For those interested, Wind River is available to watch for free (with ads) through the RTVE Play app and website, allowing a new audience to discover this intense story that, although bleak, offers a powerful reflection on a often ignored topic.
When we think of horror franchises, we always think of movies from the 90s and 00s. In the last 20 years, it seems that the ability to create great horror franchises has been lost, with the notable exception of Blumhouse and everything that has come out around the Insidious/The Conjuring universe. But the reality is that there is at least one other franchise that has managed to take off in recent years, and it did so almost unexpectedly. Taking its director to almost instant stardom. That franchise is A Quiet Place, or Un lugar tranquilo in its original title for the […]
When we think of horror franchises, we always think of movies from the 90s and 00s. In the last 20 years, it seems that the ability to create great horror franchises has been lost, with the notable exception of Blumhouse and everything that has come out around the Insidious/The Conjuring universe. But the reality is that there is at least one other franchise that has managed to take off in recent years, and it did so almost unexpectedly. Taking its director to almost instant stardom.
This franchise is A Quiet Place, or Un lugar tranquilo in its original title for the American audience. A franchise that currently spans three movies and a video game, with a fourth installment announced, and whose first two films are now available on streaming services for you to enjoy.
The original movie premiered in 2018 under the direction of John Krasinski. Starring Emily Blunt and Krasinski himself, the film placed us in a terrible situation: civilization has ended due to a species that has invaded us and hunts us down. Fortunately for us, they are blind. Unfortunately, they have very sharp hearing. The film narrates the daily life of a mother and father struggling to raise their children in a post-apocalyptic world where any sound, at the wrong moment, can lead to death.
Using sign language very ingeniously and placing a strong emphasis on the visual, the film stood out for the cleverness of its premise. Here, the terror does not arise from the threat itself, as much as from its presence: everything becomes a potential threat, since the slightest sound can be a death sentence for the whole family. And the film constantly exploits this by putting them in situations where it is difficult not to make any sound. Accidentally or not.
With a modest budget of 17 million, Paramount Pictures must have celebrated with champagne when they saw the numbers the movie was generating. Reaching a worldwide gross of 341 million, even with the insane 86 million dollar advertising campaign they had invested in it, they managed to make it a resounding success.
Even among audiences and critics, it seems to have worked spectacularly. With an 82 out of 100 on Metacritic and a 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it is one of the most celebrated films of 2018.
Lowering expectations, but staying strong
A Quiet Place Part II, like any worthy sequel, arrived shortly after. Although not without problems. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they had to delay the release by almost a year, the film’s budget increased to nearly 60 million, and the marketing budget skyrocketed. But with Krasinski back at the helm and his main actors reprising their roles, now adding Cillian Murphy and Noah Jupe to the cast, the film developed the themes of the first one, emphasizing the particularities of the unique universe they had created.
Something that didn’t seem to be enough. Although it was a success, it wasn’t the same success as the previous one. It raised just under 300 million dollars and the critics would be notably less passionate. Although with a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, it would barely achieve a 71 on Metacritic, leaving the feeling that it was a worthy sequel, but perhaps not as impactful and well-rounded as the original.
Its third part, A Quiet Place: Day One, and its video game, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, both premiered in 2024. In both cases, it can be summarized that they followed the path of the previous sequel: relatively low-budget productions compared to Hollywood blockbusters or AAA video games, which did not achieve the success or impact of the original film, but performed well with critics and exceeded box office and sales expectations. These are two more successes for the franchise.
Now the first two movies of the franchise are coming to HBO Max, so you can see if this franchise is really that great. And if you want more, A Quiet Place: Day One is available for streaming on SkyShowtime. Even if you’ll still have to wait a bit to see its fourth installment: until July 9, 2027.

Both series share a common thread, as creator Ronan Bennett is behind both productions, which generates thematic similarities in the realm of organized crime. Additionally, actress Jasmine Jobson appears in the casts of Mobland and Top Boy. However, the differences between the two are notable. While Top Boy offers a raw and realistic portrayal of social issues in London, Mobland delves into a more traditional gangster narrative, sometimes lacking the depth that characterizes Bennett’s series.
Despite the different approaches to the theme of crime, both series promise to keep viewers captivated. Mobland is available on SkyShowtime, while Top Boy can be watched on Netflix, thus ensuring a rich entertainment offering for genre enthusiasts.

Showtime has decided to cancel the series ‘Dexter: Original Sin’, despite having received the green light for a second season. This decision is part of a context of significant changes within the network, especially following the merger of Paramount and Skydance, which has led to a restructuring in the company’s leadership and the departure of Chris McCarthy, co-CEO of Paramount Global and one of the main proponents of establishing the ‘Dexter’ franchise.
It’s not the end of Dexter yet
In light of this cancellation, the efforts of the saga will focus on ‘Dexter: Resurrection’, the sequel to ‘New Blood’, which is already said to be in the development of a second season although, so far, it has not been officially confirmed by Paramount. According to close sources, the team that was working on ‘Original Sin’ has been relocated to the ‘Resurrection’ project, suggesting that the channel’s interest has shifted towards this new narrative.
Despite the fact that some installments of the franchise are in operation, such as ‘Resurrection’, there are concerns about the overall continuity of the saga. The uncertainty is exacerbated by a tense financial environment in which Paramount is prioritizing budget containment and reviewing its future projects. In this sense, both ‘Original Sin’ and other announced series are in a development limbo.
This is not the first time that the story of ‘Dexter’ has undergone drastic changes. The sequel ‘Resurrection’ already marks a turn in what was initially going to be the second season of ‘New Blood’. This raises the possibility that the cancellation of ‘Original Sin’ could open the door to a new prequel, although details about its focus or characters have not yet been finalized, such as the possible inclusion of the “Ice Truck Killer” or the already anticipated Trinity Killer.
