★★★ I don’t know if there’s a capital-B bad Mission Impossible movie, and I understand this one’s got some hard defenders, but I don’t think this one makes the best case for itself? Woo shoots the heck out of it and Cruise has solid chemistry with Newton, but it doesn’t have the full juice for the slow burn romance/thriller energy it’s trying to channel, and Sydney just isn’t much of an interesting location to stage all this.

Sharks have always been considered silent swimmers. Unlike most fish, these top ocean predators lack sound-producing organs. But recent research suggests this might not be true for all sharks. At least one species produces noise, challenging our understanding of these stealthy hunters. Carolin Nieder stumbled upon this discovery accidentally while studying rig sharks at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

On March 29, 2025, the New York Yankees set a new franchise record against the Milwaukee Brewers by hitting an astonishing nine home runs in a single game.

They could make something beautiful out of it, they thought - a place where their children could run and play.
