Tom Cruise is what happens when you mix adrenaline with testosterone. Jumping off planes, he has done that. Hanging from the Burj Khalifa, he has done that, holding his breath for six minutes…he has done that! We have all asked ourselves the question, “What can’t he do?” countless times, and every other day, Hollywood’s true superstar comes up with another thing he can very well do.

While his Mission: Impossible movies are full of him sprinting to and fro, did you know that this is something Tom Cruise has loved since he was a kid? He recently appeared on a talk show where he recalled just where his love for sprinting originates from, and the story is just adorable.

If you can do something well, don’t ever do it for free.

IShowSpeed often races with celebrities including the current fastest man on Earth, Noah Lyles. Being a non-athlete, he is incredibly fast and has earned appreciation from fans for his speed. You can find several simulations pitting him against other celebrities to find out who is faster. However, fans might not need a simulation to know whether he is faster than Tom Cruise.

Cruise, known for doing his own stunts, has proved himself to be very athletic. During one of the chase sequences in Mission: Impossible 3, he outran the camera unit that was capturing him in the sequence. The camera’s speed was enough to determine the actor’s speed.

Tom Cruise is one of the most influential actors in recent times. Obviously, his Mission: Impossible movies are a big reason behind his fame. Since the first movie released in 1996, Ethan Hunt’s spy saga has become one of the longest running franchises in Hollywood.

In fact, Mission: Impossible 8 is queued for release in May this year. Incidentally, it is also one of the most successful franchises and Cruise’s hard work in the films shines through the screens.

He has broken many records with the movies, be it the crazy stunts that can turn fatalistic with the slightest misstep, or in the box office. However, there might be more to the franchise’s success story than that, and an old interview with Mission: Impossible 3’s co-producer gives an insight into that.

Buzz Cason, the Nashville singer, songwriter and producer best known for “Everlasting Love,” the buoyant Motown-style pop song covered numerous times and appearing in many films since Robert Knight recorded the original in 1967, died June 16 at his home in Franklin, Tennessee. He was 84.

His death was announced by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. A cause of death was not specified.

“Everlasting Love,” with its impossibly catchy and immediately recognizable chorus that begins “Open up your eyes/Then you’ll realize/Here I stand with my everlasting love,” has made the charts in various versions, most notably Carl Carlton’s 1974 cover that hinted at the imminent arrival of disco. In the U.K., the song was a #1 hit in 1968 by London-based pop band Love Affair.

Other artists who have covered the song, written by Cason with writing partner Mac Gayden, include Gloria Estefan, Rex Smith and Rachel Sweet , U2,...

Plot: Vincent, one of New York’s leading puppeteers and creator of the hugely popular children’s television show, ‘Good Day Sunshine,’ struggles to cope with the loss of his son, Edgar, becoming increasingly distressed and volatile. Full of self-loathing and guilt around Edgar’s disappearance, he clings to his son’s drawings of a blue monster puppet, Eric, convinced that if he can get Eric on TV then Edgar will come home. As Vincent’s progressively destructive behaviour alienates his family, his work colleagues, and the detectives trying to help him, it’s Eric, a delusion of necessity, who becomes his only ally in the pursuit to bring his son home.

Review: The idea behind Eric, as depicted in the trailer for the series, is a fascinating concept. A man driven to the edge of sanity after the disappearance of his son bonds with an imaginary monster created by his child to rescue him.

Midway through Bob Clark’s Deathdream (originally titled Dead of Night), Andy Brooks (Richard Backus) dons a pair of black leather gloves and sunglasses for an upcoming date. Andy displays a suave and calm demeanor that should be familiar to fans of Jean-Pierre Melville’s 1967 film Le Samouraï, which features Alain Delon as the ne plus ultra of psychotic cool; his haircut even recalls that of Steve McQueen in 1968’s Bullitt. However, Andy’s garb has a tactile purpose, concealing as it does his deteriorating skin, which will turn to dust without a replenishing supply of blood. Because of this, Clark’s genre film goes in the opposite direction of peddling cool, as Deathdream shows how a pair of designer shades can only momentarily shield the irreparable physical and psychological scars of war.

That Deathdream is a vehement anti-war statement can only be ascertained gradually, as Andy’s parents, Charles...
