Does It Hold Up?

INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE

May 24th 1989, Harrison Ford takes on the role of Indiana Jones for what everyone though would be the last time. Spielberg was back in the director's chair for the third installment in this adventure series. Sean Connery is new to the cast as Jones' father. We follow Indy as he goes after the Holy Grail. A lot of the movie feels very similar to Raiders of the Lost Ark, but is miles ahead of Temple of Doom. Some consider this movie their favorite Indiana Jones adventure while others think it's the same thing we have already seen. But what we wanna know is, does it hold up?

Does MISSION IMPOSSIBLE hold up?

May 21st, 1996. Tom Cruise continues to cement his status as one of the top draws in film as he stars in the movie adaptation of a beloved tv show. Mission Impossible is an espionage movie but with Cruise in the cast it's taken to another level. Disguises, action, and one of the best movie moments in the history of the industry sets Mission Impossible apart from others. Here we are 27 years late and the 7th entry into this franchise is headed to theaters soon, so this one must have done something right. A stellar cast, great casting, and a 90's feel that you can't escape. All those things made the movie work when it came out, but we want to know, Does it Hold Up?

Does Selena hold up?

March 21st, 1997 the world is reintroduced to the Latin superstar Selena. Only this time it's not the real Selena but Jennifer Lopez starring as her in the biopic about the young singer's life. Just two years after Selena's tragic murder by Yolanda Saldivar, the movie let's audiences into the life and times of the Grammy winner from when she was a just girl first learning to sing and learning to speak Spanish, all the way to her untimely death. 
This movie stars Jennifer Lopez, Edward James Olmos, Jon Seda, Constance Marie, Jackie Guerra, Jacob Vargas, and more. With this movie releasing almost 2 years to the day after the murder took place, does it do justice to the story or does it feel rushed? Does it give you the full story or does it hide some of the truth? There's many questions that can be asked, but the only one we can answer is, Does It Hold Up?

Does Whiplash hold up?

October 10th, 2014 Damien Chazelle brings to audiences everywhere his first directorial debut. All about Jazz drumming enthusiast Andrew, played by Miles Teller, going toe to toe with overbearing and controversial teacher Fletcher, played by J.K. Simmons. This is a story about how drive and passion can become overwhelming and may not always be the right way to go about things. It also asks a very complicated question of teaching methods and when does it cross the line and become too much.
Some brilliant performances drive the at times unfocused narrative. The directing is amazing and the jazz infused score is hypnotizing. There is so much to like about this film, but there's just as much to dislike. So the question as always is...Does it hold up?
