Cocktail turns 30 this July and with Mission Impossible Fallout releasing worldwide and Tom Cruise being the man of the minute, we decided to RECAST Cocktail in 2018 in celebration of the two occasions.
What is a RECAST some of you might be asking? Well we basically take a film new or old and imagine it was either released earlier or set more recently and RECAST its primary actors. We've done several in the past including the X-Men and Fantastic Four as if they were in the current MCU. We've also RECAST 2012's The Avengers in the 90's. This is always a fun segment to do and it's always awesome finding out who others would cast in certain roles.
For Cocktail, though not a comic book movie, it is a cult classic romantic drama and one of the movies that solidified Tom Cruise as a powerhouse of the industry. We looked at the 3 main actors; Elisabeth Shue's Jordan Mooney, Australia's own Bryan Brown as Doug Coughlin and of course the man of the hour Tom Cruise's Bryan Flanagan.
Who would you cast in Cocktail if it were made today? Come and watch our video and join the conversation in the comments section.

Welcome to REWIND REPLAY! If you haven't checked the channel out before my name is Steve and love all things movies, T.V., video games and just pop culture in general and I really wanted a place I could discuss it all with others thus- REWIND REPLAY.
REWIND REPLAY is a channel for pop culture lovers of all ages to come together and jump head long into the discussion about all the latest movies, video games and television programs.
Here is what you can expect to see on REWIND REPLAY...
NEW REVIEWS- Reviews of all the latest release movies as well as the latest STAN and NETFLIX movies.
REWIND REVIEWS- Reviews of older movies.I like to look back at what the film was then and see how it has held up today. Often this will be used to build up to a new release.
RANKINGS- Once I've built up a new release movie with REWIND REVIEWS and reviewed the new film as well, I'll go ahead and RANK them from WORST to BEST!
RECASTS- This is where I take a new release movie and shift its release date by a decade or two and RECAST the movie with actors from that time.I also talk a bit about how I think the film would have looked and felt during that era and discuss who might have directed the movie and why.
5 THINGS STILL GREAT ABOUT- This is a new segment looking back at videos game of old and instead of reviewing them and pulling them apart for their dated graphics and game play, instead I look at what is STILL GREAT about the game. Fun, light-hearted and hopefully gets you looking at older games in a new light.
TOP 10's-Coming in a month or so I'll be adding TOP 10's to the agenda. These will either countdown to from 10-1 or I may make them simply 10 moments in no particular order.
