Tom Cruise is back. And this time he’s Jack Reacher. Yeah, you know, that really tall guy who kicks ass? Uh… yeah. Well, size isn’t everything. We are big fans of The Cruiser at Ross v Ross (well, one of us two Rosses is), so we’ll happily watch him in anything. We’re looking forward to his upcoming sci-fi outing, Oblivion, too, in which he plays another Jack, a good three decades after playing a Jack in Ridley Scott’s Timotei advert cum epic fantasy, Legend.

Claire Danes and Kate Winslet? The boy’s not done too bad. Although he does end up poisoned and frozen to death for his efforts. Crossing stars and crossing the Atlantic prove to be doomed endeavours for Leo, but en route he gives us two of the greatest love stories the 90s had to offer. But which is better?
