On this week's Voice Film Club podcast: The
Vacation reboot disappoints, as does Adam Sandler's
Pixels (but it can't be near as bad as critics are describing, says the Village Voice's Alan Scherstuhl). Meanwhile, the '40s noir melodrama
Phoenix might be one of the year's best, says Voice film critic Stephanie Zacharek. Finally, the good-but-not-great
Mission: Impossible movie is just the fourth-best of the five in the franchise, says LA Weekly film critic and Tom Cruise expert Amy Nicholson. Be sure to read all our movie reviews and essays at
