I guess based on all the money they make they aren't being marketed to old white guys.

Movie reviews:
Equalizer 2- Goddammit why is it D can make me cry in any film he does??? Maybe a trifle formulaic but still alot of fun to watch and that guy just has the best smile in Hollywood

The Cakemaker- an Isreali/German/English film.....really really good, a very sweet sad movie about a unique love triangle

Zoolander2-(not in theaters but on tv yesterday) OMG so fucking funny!! Sting's cameo is worth it

The Believer/Believers-i watched it with a korean gal with no subtitles so lost some content but really good. Has an actor from another k film directed by Jang Jin called High Heel which i highly recommend
Mute- seeing Paul Rudd as a sleazy pos was interesting he is versatile, and Andrew Skaarsgard just emotes so much without speaking

Marvel is consistently churning out good to great comic book movies (and TV).

These were my reviews on IMDB of the previous 5 Mission Impossible movies:

Mission Impossible (1996) - 2/5 - I didn't like the idea of Jim being the bad guy - that was sacrilegious and the story was convoluted.

Mission Impossible 2 (2000) - 3.5/5 - John Woo is a good action director but this movie has more holes than Swiss cheese - probably because the final cut was 2 hr and 3 min and Woo actually filmed 3 1/2 hrs of footage.

Mission Impossible 3 (2006) - 3.75/5 - A bit better than the previous 2 M-I entries but they should had done without the romance/marriage subplot.

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol (2011) - 2.5/5 - It was alright - not fantastic or great - just mindless entertainment to kill 2+ hrs.

Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation (2015) - 3/5 - Once again another M: I movie with parts that don't make sense and convenient plot devices including they just happen to get that stuff and this stuff or conveniently has something on hand to get the job done...

Furthermore when the screenwriters decided to write out the most interesting character in the movie immediately following the opening credit montage, you know this movie is going to suck!

Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4912910/



The Mission: Impossible films have become like the James Bond films.

Each new film trying to top the last film in the series and by doing so, each one gets more over the top than the previous one and sometimes becoming a parody of itself.

When you go watch a movie, you are supposed to remember it's all fantasy and make believe and as long as you suspend disbelief and try not to think too hard about what you are seeing on screen, you will enjoy the movie more.

But there are some scenes in Fallout that makes you want to say: there is absolutely no Fucking way!!

Just like the Dubai tower 119th floor outside scaling and jump stunt scene in Ghost Protocol even if that scene was shot with multiple safety cables that were erased in post production using Photoshop.

The James Bond films will continue: they will just cast another British or near British guy to play the role or someone who speaks with funny British accent.

But the Mission: Impossible films?

How many more can they make with the Crazy Cuckoo Guy getting old?

He is 56 now.

At this point in the series after 6 films, you just can't see anyone else playing Ethan Hunt unless they reboot the series.

I think there will be another M:I film after this (by that time he will be almost 60) and possibly one more and he will be quitting the role.

I still haven't forgiven him for ruining Katie Holmes forever.

Katie Holmes said when she was a little girl, she dreamt of growing up and marrying Tom Cruise.

She got her wish and you can see what he did to her.

Remember ladies: be careful what you wish for because you might just get it and it won't be what you wished and hoped for and it won't have a happily ever after like in Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella and Snow White.

Those Disney animated films where the girl finds her Prince Charming and lives happily ever after are the worse things for women to watch while they were growing up: it gives them unrealistic expectation about relationship and marriage and by the time they figure out it was all distorted and askew, they have already married and divorced: their entire social life and outlook on love and marriage and men has crashed and burned and it's in a smoking fiery pile of disappointment making them bitter and harsh toward any poor unsuspecting men that happens to enter their lives afterward for the rest of their lives.


3/5

Happy Birthday, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He is 71 today.

Isn't he kind of old to be playing a Terminator again?

What is he going to say?

I'll Be Back... with a walker!!

Deadpool 2 (2018)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5463162/

I liked the first one but this sequel was just boring and dumb and unoriginal with a story about a new character that I didn't care about. Lazy screenwriting just to get a sequel made.

How do I get 2 hours of my life back?

2/5

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4154756/

This is the 19th MCU (Marvel Comics Universe) movie and you have to need to see the previous 18 films to get a bit of an idea of where all those characters in this film fit into this movie and where they came from and what they were doing in their last appearances in their own movie franchise series like Thor Ragnarok and Captain America and Spider Man and Iron Man and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and so on.

Plus if you don't watch this one, you won't be able to watch the direct sequel Avengers: Infinity War 2 (YES! They left the ending as a cliffhanger) and Captain Marvel, both of them coming out next year.

Honestly I haven't seen but maybe a bit more than half of the previous 18th films so I was lost half of the time.

All these Marvel and DC comic books movies one after another every year are getting very annoying.

2/5
