Mission-Impossible-Ghost-Protocol-Banner.jpg
This is not just another mission.

The IMF is shut down when it's implicated in a global terrorist bombing plot. Ghost Protocol is initiated and Ethan Hunt and his rogue new team must go undercover to clear their organization's name. No help, no contact, off the grid.

So Qmark and I saw this movie yesterday and loved it. It's not Brad Bird's best film and it has a few problems, but it's the best Mission: Impossible film yet, has the best action scenes of any film that has come out this year, and is a shitload of fun. Also when you see it, make sure you see it in IMAX. A lot of the scenes were filmed with IMAX cameras and the images are ridiculous, especially the Burj Khalifa sequence.

    how did it take like less than a century to go from einstein and picasso to a hollywood blockbuster based on the popular boardgame Battleship™ starring rihanna?

    i nominate 21st century for the worst of all the centuries so far.

    I saw this on Wednesday. It's kind of a good movie combined with a bad Tom Cruise vanity project.

    It's basically spy porn.

    And he's gonna be Jack Reacher.

    Tom Cruise the scrawny short guy is going to play Jack Reacher, a gorilla wearing a man suit.

    I will probably see this purely because it contains Simon Pegg and I dearly love that man.

    Well there's an old saying, "Setting things to rights" which I am guess that phrase is an inversion of.

    High five!

    The only way I will see Dark Knight Rises is if 1) I am drunk, and 2) the homeless guy in our theater that narrated Dark Knight is there again.

    that video proves that Tom Cruise runs in movies more than any other actor. He runs so damn much

    I noticed it when I watched The Firm the other day. He has this running form that is very short and jerky that makes it seem like he is incredibly fast

    Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots was pretty good, I heard. Haven't seen it yet. Probably going to rent it when it hits Redbox.

    I am generally a fan of neither Tom Cruise nor crazy hyped up action movies, but I may give this a shot. If I like it I will probably go back and watch the rest.
