Mission:Impossible-Rogue Nation (Christopher McQuarrie, 2015)
An outstanding action adventure film with a vaguely implausible plot, fantastic gadgets and people able to withstand more physical punishment than is probably possible, but brilliantly done. Makes Bond look like Friends. Recommended. Sorry the youtube link has annoying ad.

A true masterpiece in his category. Technically perfect, animation-ish kind of photography (very colored, many wide angle scenes, slow edits), awesome cast.

I can't say my declining hormonal impulses quickened when I saw her, she is too thin, although she did wear a sexy dress to the opera -I think the point in the MI films is that where the Bond girls are there for decoration, in MI they take part in the action, which may also be why MI2 is the weakest of the sequence so far.Quote:

Moonrise Kingdom could have been a better film but the young 'actor' was so poor he ruined the film, and the girl he persuades to run away with him is too cute, when she ought to have been a geeky type like him.Quote:

Still, good way to kill a couple hours. Would recommend "The Thieves" for anyone looking at Korean cinema though, a lot lighter, good action, nice laughs, and some hotties for scenery.
Ted 2 it was hilarious.
