The Daily Beasts
For theme projects (like #Kaijuly, #Mocktoberfest, and #SeasonsBeatings—for example),
a new film/show is profiled every day by a different writer.
Fourths Of July: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL (2011)
At the IMF’s darkest hour, a team starts to solidify and unifying narrative begins for the franchise.
Fourths Of July: SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE (1987)
Slashed budgets and a botched production effectively ends a franchise.
ROCKY IV (1985)
ROCKY IV’s Christmas boxing match to end the Cold War was the main event—but it overshadows the real drama occurring within the wives of the fighters.
