This week is one I know I've been waiting for because Mission: Impossible - Fallout is upon us. Given how reliable these Tom Cruise  movies are, it's a fine time to say everyone looking for a fun action film and more should go seek out this film on the biggest screen possible. If that's not enough, there's a true cinematic gem, Blindspotting , also out in more theaters. At home, you can find a fantastic Criterion Collection release, along with some other worthwhile releases. I also have a new write-up for this week's Preacher and a look at the trailer for Glass .

This week takes a pretty light turn with the release of Ant-Man and the Wasp , a lighthearted affair from Marvel Studios .
