Film Review: Tom Cruise in ‘American Made’ Never Gets Off the Ground
Submitted by PatrickMcD on September 29, 2017 - 10:27amCHICAGO – Tom Cruise was once a Top Gun, but his newest film “American Made” never really takes off.

I guess you could say I was excited to strap on the seat belt and give “Ace Combat: Assault Horizon” a try.
Blu-Ray Review: 25th Anniversary Edition of Blockbuster ‘Top Gun’
Submitted by BrianTT on September 8, 2011 - 2:41pmCHICAGO – “Top Gun” is one of those movies that defies critical analysis.
