Hudson plays journalist Andie Anderson, who sets out to write an article titled "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," and as it says on the tin, she finds a man to torment with emotional outbursts and needy behavior in an attempt to push him away in just 10 days. If you're wondering what casting directors look for in chemistry reads, watch this movie and you'll get a whopping dose of it. But it could have coasted on the charms of its stars alone because Hudson and co-star Matthew McConaughey are magnetic as the ultimate mismatched duo who accidentally fall in love. One of the most enduring rom-coms of the early 2000s (a rough era for the genre, indeed), "How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days" has a catchy title, a clever rom-concept and an unforgettable final act glam moment for Kate Hudson in the form of that iconic yellow Carolina Herrera dress. Nobody films Los Angeles like Mann and "Collateral" is a crackling thriller, alive with the energy of a city so sprawling and so easily seduced that a sartorial hitman could carve his way through, a shark that never sits still (except for that dang LA traffic). Jaime Foxx co-stars in an Oscar-nominated turn as Ray, a Los Angeles cab driver who picks up Vincent and accepts $600 to take him to multiple locations, unaware that he's driving the killer from hit to hit. That, of course, is nothing new for the bonafide, capital Movie Star, so if the Cruise hype has you in the mood to revisit some of his older films, you can't go wrong with Michael Mann's "Collateral." In perhaps the most uncharacteristically Cruise role of his long career, he plays ruthless hitman Vincent - and it's one of his best performances. Between the juggernaut success of "Top Gun: Maverick" (also streaming on Paramount+), the worldwide tour for "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One" or the unusual cross-studio hype he's been doing with "Barbie" star Margot Robbie, Tom Cruise has spent a lot of time in the spotlight over the last year.
